Don't leave — you're at the right (blog) house! It's me, Angela, but with a bit of a different look! I've put off updating my blog header for way too long because, well, to be honest with you, I forgot how to do it. And I know just enough about Blogger to be dangerous, so I always have a slight fear that if I hit the wrong button or replace the wrong code, zap, nearly 10 years of blog posts will vanish into cyberspace. If you are reading this, that did not happen overnight, so yay! And yay to the new turquoise teacup I found at T.J. Maxx in Rome on Saturday, which spurred me on with the long-overdue redesign!
It's a Made-in-China cup and saucer from Gracie China, which has practically become my BFF of new teawares in recent years. In fact, I may just start saying "from my friend Gracie*" if I buy one of these teacups, and then you'll know what I'm talking about without me going into a big ole explanation.
But for now, I'm ready to chill out with a cup of tea after the mild panic that always sets in when I do scary computer things. Cheers, y'all!
I like the new look and I love the new teacup and saucer!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog's new turquoise-themed design and your updated profile photo looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI know one blogger who purposely deleted her account, but changed her mind later on and was able to "undelete" her blog (this restore function only works within a certain period of time though).
I'm also a fan of your pretty new turquoise teacup. There weren't that many teawares when I visited my local HomeSense this past weekend. Perhaps they're getting ready to transition to the fall china?
Love the new turquoise and pink look Angela, as well as the profile picture in your hat. I've thought about updating mine to one with a hat but since I'm more of a garden blogger not sure how it would go over. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your new teacup! And it looks beautiful in your new blog header. Congrats on a successful update - those are always a bit scary.
ReplyDeleteLove your new blog header, photo, and turquoise/aqua color theme. I need to change mine too, but I'll have to hire mine done, because I don't think I'd be able to do it myself. Your new teacup is lovely and in keeping with the update. I thought of you recently when I was in Dollar Tree and saw some lovely water goblets trimmed in aqua. When I went back a couple of days later they were all gone, so the color was definitely a hit.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! You did an excellent job! Aqua is the "in" color this year I have been told...to me it's a blue, and blue is always the center of my radar anyway.

Congratulations on doing the "scary computer thing". I have been thinking of changing my header too, but as you said "scary" and not sure I know what I want to change it to. Love the new cup too.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look! Heidi T.
ReplyDeleteThe header looks great, and the cup and saucer are lovely. I'll have to check out my local TJ Maxx. I don't think I make to the store often enough to catch great things.
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of all your beautiful tea cups and wares. This cup seems unusual with the stripes, and I love turquoise. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI say a huge YAY because I am again receiving your emails! Emailsstarted again I guess maybe on Saturday, so I am thrilled. I too love your teacup - I must visit our TJ's soon. Congrats on another successful tech savvy project.
ReplyDeleteDonna, I am so happy to hear you're receiving the emails again! I wonder if the updated design did something to "refresh" the email delivery? At any rate, I'm so happy it's working for you again!
DeleteVery nice header. I have the same fear about change and accidentally losing my blog.
ReplyDeleteUsually I am not a fan of the color aqua, but the watercolor of the aqua teacup and the rose is really beautiful! And your new profile photo with the big hat is quite charming.
