Got to find a new way to say randomness!

The weatherman was right! From blue sky to rain and overnight there’s maximum drippiness outside. But lovely and warm inside. ๐Ÿ™‚

I got in on my friend V’s tea exchange again this year and was paired with a lovely girl from Japan. Coco sent me some blueberry cassis tea wrapped in her handmade tote. I love the little embroidered coco beans. And that spectacular envelope is going to be the base for a new painting I think. So lovely to have good mail come to break up the monotony of hate mail (bills). We should all send tea and ephemera to each other as often as possible! The world would be a happier place. ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m about to have the furnace replaced in this old house and that means I’m going to lose this funky old thermostat for an ultra modern programmable whatsit because the mercury gizmo in this won’t work with the remote gizmo in that…blah, blah, blah. I’m so keeping this old retro thing and sticking it up somewhere else in the house.

Becca, a wonderful photographer/writer friend of mine and a co-Wordsmither, has threatened everyone with Disney princesses lol unless everyone steps up and helps design a new logo for the site. So I took some photographs and put them out there to be used anyway anyone would like. Becca’s been altering them so beautifully! I can’t believe how lovely those images look now. When the design is decided I’ll show you. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Oh that thermostat is soooo wonderful! I think most of us have had one of those in our home during one decade or another. Honeywell? Gosh, are they even still around?

    Thank you for stopping by my blog. I might not have found yours otherwise. You have a new follower!
    Loved your dรฉcor, especially that cool looking snail. A nice hot cup of tea is perfect for rainy days. Also with some fresh baked cookies. It’s rainy here today.

    Everyone should send happy mail and everyone should receive some, too! I love to open the mailbox and see a decorated envelope or a squishy parcel. Makes the heart leap!
    It is time for me to drag out the Fall decorations and my Halloween stuff, too. I love the snail in the top photo! I want to hold it and pet it. How weird does that sound, lol
    Have a super fab weekend!!

    My mom has an old Honeywell thermostat in her house and the furnace guy always tells her to keep it as long as she can because they just don’t make them like that anymore. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Love the goodies you received. You are so right — it is so fun to get this type of mail.

    ๐Ÿ™‚ Hi Veronica ~~ You did a good job in making your whole house look like Autumn. I don’t envy you in replacing yotur furnace. We had to replace air conditioners but the furnace parts stayed. So it all just slid in.

    Sorry I am so late in returning your comment. But now, even late, it was well worth my coming.
