Thank you so much for this great and royal Honor... you my dear are a pearl in a crown, slathered in jewels.

Your blog is dazzling and fairest among the throngs of other bloggers...I do love your wit and beauty ...but your graciousness is exceptional and noble.

I do hereby accept your honor but I cannot in all humility copy my award and put it on my blog...there is a royal guard...stopping me.

Now I will go and publish this sweet and beau-tea-ful gesture with great honor and pride as you are amazing... when the award is available for copy...just send a courier to say... come hither I SHALL RETRIEVE IT AT THAT TIME.

I sincerely appreciate this gesture and will cherish this memory. You are a fragrant rose!

Courtsey, kisses and admiration,

Duchess of Tea said...: Lee darling, I am sorry that the guards stopped you from copying your award. I had to order the guards awhile back to stop some not so nice bloggers from taking my photos and duplicating my posts. I apologize for the inconvenience.

You can copy the award by clicking on the award (NOT right clicking) simply pointing your arrow on the photo and clicking once on the photo which will take you to a page with the picture of the award and that’s when you can right click and copy the photo.

I do apologize for the inconvenience, hope this works for you.

Love & Hugs

Renaissance Grace said...: Thank you Duchess,
Brympton Towers was all a flutter this morning as your invitation was hand delivered by your carriage driver, I can only apologize for my lack of presence at the drawing room window ,but alas we have maid troubles again.
I caught a glimpse of your white gloved wave as your driver assembled the horses to depart, the white horses looked adorable against your royal navy carriage.
I accept my bestowment from you with enormous pride.
My seamstress is shaking in anticipation at the thought of the delicious outfit I am going to demand of her for the ceremony at Tea Cottage.
Thank you for recognizing my outstanding loyalty to her majesty's most faithful servant.
God Bless The Queen.
Faithfully yours,

Chicago Chic said...: Good Evening Duchess. Congrats to all the beautiful awardees! I am always stunned by the beauty on your blog and I must share a few things with you.

1. This quote that you have on your page: "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation." - H. Melville, I absolutely love. I seriously think imitation is never a way to accomplish something really great.

2. I share a birthday (July 1st) with the beautiful late Princess Diana. I love that photo you have of her on your blog, she was a simply amazing woman.
