It’s been far too long since I had a good cup of hot tea. I’d almost forgotten how much I enjoyed it. Which is why I was doubly glad to receive an Adagio Teas gift certificate from Tess. I used it towards a simpliciTEA tea pot and a black tea sampler. Yum! Thank you, Tess! I just may need to crochet a tea cozy. Right, Tiff? *wink*

You might remember the other day I metioned I still have thanks to give to Julie…

She crocheted me this beautiful thread bookmark. The beads are wonderfully weighty, so they make a satisfying clink when you lay it on the table.

And she was very sweet to send me her only copy of BHG Simply Creative Crochet from 2003. I was enormously happy because it’s so hard to find a copy of it now. I think my favorite patterns in it are the Diamond Tunic and Elegant Wrap Cardigan.

When Julie sent the mag, she slipped a Beware of the Crochet Lady sticker in the package. Love it! I’ll have to take a pic of it on my truck. What a hoot! ;-) Thank you for everything, Julie!
