The Kindness of Bloggers

A few weeks ago I left a comment on Elizabeth's blog 'Blissful Quilts' about how her newly made tea cosy and her lovely Portmeirion tea pot reminded me of home.  The reason was that it all looked so familiar as we have the same colour spotty tablecloth and most of our plates and dishes are Portmeirion seconds from the nearby factory shop.


Elizabeth kindly responded with an e-mail asking if I would like to have a tea cosy to match my tablecloth as she had some extra fabric.  Well, of course, the answer was yes I would.   The beautifully made tea cosy arrived in the post not long after and I'm thrilled with it and it has been much admired.  The blogging world can be such a kind and caring place.  Thank you Elizabeth!

    Each time you look at the tea cosy it will make you think of such a random act of kindness. x

    That was very thoughtful of Elizabeth at Blissful Quilts to make and send you a tea cosy to match your tablecloth.

    Hi Rosie,

    What a sweet and thoughtful gift and so practical too.

    Thank you for your last comment on my blog. It has been a very difficult and stressful period during the last few months. I've not blogged much, but I've missed visiting you and hope to do better in the coming months.

    Take Care,

    Marie x
