    Hallo Duchess, erstmal gratuliere ich Dir ganz herzlich zu diesen wunderbaren Awards die Du dir aber auch wirklich verdient hast und dann natürlich zu den Damen die sie Dir verliehen haben. Bei deiner großen Leserschaft, die sicherlich sehr zeitaufwendig ist, möchte ich mich auch bei Dir dafür bedanken, das Du dich in meine Verfolgerliste eingetragen hast, darüber habe ich mich wirklich sehr gefreut.
    Heute bewundere ich deine Teekannen, ich bin schon seit längerer Zeit auf der Suche nach einer "richtig" schönen Teekanne, rundlich, ein guter Griff zum Anfassen, ein vernünftiger Ausgießer (sodas der kostbare Tee nicht größtenteils verschüttet wird lach) halt eine perfekte, schöne Teekanne!! Hast Du vielleicht eine Adresse für mich wo ich an so ein Teil kommen kann?
    ein wunderschönes Wochenende und trink eine Tasse Tee für mich mit
    liebe Grüße
    MArlies

From the very moment I discovered Rose Tea Cottage I felt incredibly enchanted by its elegance, charm and inspiration. Popping over is always such a delight that I never want to leave.
    Love all your vignettes and those muffins look so yummy... do you mind if I come over for a bite?
