A Bit of This and That


Every cup of tea is an imaginary trip.....Catherine Douzel
A dear friend often closes her notes with this quote.
The picture above sends me on an imaginary trip to Paris.

Today is my 699th post, so I am celebrating with a bit of "this and that".
For anyone leaving a comment today I will have a drawing and announce
the winner on Monday. my 700th post.
It definitely will be a bit of "this and that", but it will include a notecard
with a picture of lilacs, two recipe cards with family recipes never given
out until this past month, some tea, a postcard from France, and
maybe some other surprises.  So come along and leave your
comments and if you aren't a follower, please join in the fun.

    Lovely picture, I especially like the blue glass vase.
    What better way to escape than with a cup of tea.
    This morning I had Earl Grey.

    What a lovely picture! I've never been to France but it makes me want to go brew a pot of tea anyway. Congratulations on your blogging milestone!

    Love your vintage tablecloth! I have some like it in the linen closet. Isn't an afternoon tea relaxing? You are right...one can travel to unknown places...

    First of all, Marilyn, congratulations! It is a great accomplishment to post this often -- and your posts never disappoint, which is amazing in itself.

    (Are those REAL French maccaroons in your photo? Do you have a recipe?)

    Amazing....that is alot of "writing."
    The photo has some very pretty colors..and I love the look of those cookies. You know, I can't say I've ever eaten any like them before. Seen them..not eaten them.
    My favorite thing is the look of the flowers in the vase. So Springy!
