"Why did you do all this for me?" he asked.
"I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you.'
You have been my friend,' replied Charlotte.
'That in itself is a tremendous thing."

that Charlotte~~~ so smart..
really...
a question I have asked a few times myself of late.
because,I too...do not deserve it...
and yet...
I have been blessed...with some little gifts,
some little gifts of
friendship~
unexpected gifts...
of wool....
and
buttons...
and
fabric...
flowers...and more....
but beyond the tangible of shells and photos and books...
I have been given love...
and friendship...
and that in itself...
is truly a tremendous thing...
it is...
I have been swatching...
and dreaming..thinking...reading...
and working way too much...
and offering a bit of some shameless self-promotion again...
the editors of
ARTFUL BLOGGING
liked my header so much,
it is featured in the Summer issue of
ARTFUL BLOGGING MAGAZINE
under "banners we love~"
so I'd like to take a moment to thank them again for the honor...
and I'd like to thank you all for your wonderful support
by offering a giveaway of one of my prints...
I have a 10"x10" of this ranunculus...
ready to be sent...
leave me a comment...if you are interested.
and a wish to you all for
a most beautiful Mother's Day...
and if you are not a mother...
then a wish for YOUR mother ;)

What a treasure this is. A reminder of the many ways we can touch the lives of another. The gifts themselves are a wonder but the heart that thought of it now that is a true treasure. And the words you use to tell of these, this treasure are jewels in and of themselves Theresa......Happy Mothers Day to you my friend!
You definitely are deserving of all good that comes your way. Congratulations on having your lovely work featured.
PS: That Habu looks lovely... I'm intrigued...
Funny. I was scrolling down your post, saying to my son who was sitting on the couch, "Gee this woman always takes lovely photos" when I find that you're giving one away!
Little gifty/crafty things in the mail are one of life's little sweeteners.
Congrats!!!! you deserve every gift... and promotion.... because you also give a lot to everyone who reads you;)
I love that you used that quote from Charlotte's Web. It's been on my mind lately. And here it is in your lovely blog.
Thank you for such a beautiful place to renew my spirit. :)
Blessings to you!
Paula
lucky girl! what a wonderful mother's day gift and congrats once again for the feature in the mag :) happy mother's day to you as well :))
Charlotte, ever so wise! Hurray for your artful blogging...
I am of the firm belief that, in life, we get what we deserve. You are getting gifts of friendship, small or big, because you truly deserve them. You give of yourself, through your blog, through your fantastic pictures, and it is given back to you in other wonderful ways. Enjoy it, you deserve it!!!
Your posting really made me smile... and realize just how grateful I too am for those little gifts of friendship I receive. Isn´t it wonderful to have such good friends?
Happy Mother´s Day to you!
Btw, that ranuculus print is one of the most beautiful things I´ve ever seen!! :)
You deserve all the good things that come your way ~ and lucky are those that call you friend :)
Thrilled to bits to see that your excellence has been recognized by the blogging community! {Hugs}
It's a lovely print and gift, but no entry as usual for me.
Congratulations Theresa! Love ranunculus & your print is gorgeous. Thank you for the opportunity to win it ♥
Happy Mother's Day.
Isn't it the best warm fuzzy ever to have good friends send you things you weren't expecting - what a little treat. A little reminder that someone thinks your special - or many someones:) That print is gorgeous and runuculus are my favorite flower, so surely I'll be winning it - hee!
You know I have to leave my name, right?
Oh, I love Charlotte's Web, and even more its predecessor Stuart Little.
Yes, friendships are so valuable...there is no way that they can be measured.
I will have to hop over again to my local Barnes & Noble's international magazine stand and see the article featuring you. (I have also been there to check out Emma Lamb ... forgive me for not seeing your pages then ... I did not put my reading glasses on.)

oh t!
you my dear deserve all the best.
happy mother's day my friend.
all the best to you and your generous heart.
can't wait to see what perfection the yarn and buttons bring.

I just woke up... ritual, waking up behind the pc, very unhealthy... but reading your last post I'm glad I did live by my ritual...
Reading this first thing, I know it will stay with me all day... and yes, as everybody without a doubt thinks, I also think and feel... You certainly deserve every little unexpected gift you have received and will receive in the future... You are giving us day by day just by being you...

Congratulations on the recognition from Artful Blogging. It's a great banner--it'll be hard to change it now, though, won't it? Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, especially my 89 year-old mama. Your print is gorgeous.
Lovely post, Theresa. I love the quote. There's a simple elegance in all of your posts and images that I find so inspiring. Congratulations on being featured in Artful Blogging again. And a very happy mother's day to you as well.
My heart takes a little jump when I see "T does Wool" in my RSS feed.

I'm swooning over all of your new notions!
Happy Mother's Day to you, Theresa!

Thats great about the magazine again, and lovely gifts for you. I hope you had a lovely mothers day.
Congratulations! Your beautiful photos are an inspiration, visiting your blog always leaves me feeling relaxed and peaceful. Happy Mother's Day!
There is a fine art to accepting gifts. My mother told me that when I felt overwhelmed and undeserving the best thing to do was to simply say "Thank You."
I look forward to your posts, and if the print came to me I would give it a good home!
Love that yellow Habu in the photo! It looks a bit like the hemp I'm using right now. What will you make with it? And what is that pretty pink yarn, by the way?
oh, congrats! how fun!
and how beautiful!
such a gorgeous photo - as is everything on your blog!
Congratulations!!! It is a very beautiful blog.
Thank you. If it's not to late please enter me.
Nice gifties...both received and given. Congrats!
I believe that when we start giving of ourselves, we get back tenfold. You are a sparkling example. Congratulations on the recognition, you so deserve it!
What a lovely print! You have been quite lucky of late; so nice of you to pay it forward. I believe such acts make us happier.
Congratulations on Artful Theresa!
How awesome is that?!

Happy late mama's day!

Congratulations on being featured. This is such a beautiful post, I think all Mamas are gifted everyday, but it is wonderful to be recognised.
That E.B. White, he knows his stuff. You have some very kind friends. Your being featured in Artful Blogger is such a treat. I'll have to track down and peruse the summer issue.
