Taking a break

Friends, I usually blog a few days ahead, so this week I had already written and scheduled my blog posts through Wednesday, but following the death of my beloved mother on Sunday night I will be taking a blogging break for a few days. I know many of you readers felt you "knew" my mom because of all the great teawares she found for me over the years which I shared here. Please keep my family in your prayers at this incredibly sad time in our lives. Thank you, and bless you!

    Sorry for the loss of your dear mother. I know what you are feeling
    as I recently lost my mother. I keep picking up the phone to call her, and then I remember.

    Dear Angela, so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I always enjoyed reading your posts about her and I did feel like 'I knew her, too.'

    My mom just passed away on August 8th and I think of her every day and I try to remember all the great times we had together over the years. A mother is such a blessing to us and I believe 'mom's Spirit' is with me today and always. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, love,
    Joanie, Keith & Nick
