One World One Heart 2011

by Sandra Bennett
TCF

30 Jan
 ~ tealightful! ~

Remember my One World One Heart post earlier in the  month? Today’s the day and here are my offerings: a delightful blue and white lidded mug with saucer. As a little surprise, there will be a tea bag or two tucked inside and, perhaps, a bit of chocolate love as well.

 ~ flower power ~

Another, handmade, gift is this embroidered, pink elephant. It’s on burlap and ready to either hang, make into a pillow or, perhaps, put in an art quilt. It’s your choice.

 Lisa, hostess of One World, One Heart 2011, says this is the fifth, and last, year for OWOH. She puts untold hours into the effort and asks only that we play nicely and by her rules. Not so difficult, eh?  In years past, my offerings have been all hand made; this year is different. Life and time have been consumed with making sure Dave receives treatments for cancer and we’ve been living off the farm which means away from the studio. Please accept my heartfelt apologies for the beautiful, yet mass produced tea cup and, let’s face it, the pink elephant is rather loud -smile- but the love poured into the package when sent, is no less heartfelt.

Come back soon, we return home in a few days and my mind is reeling from ideas to put into my heART.
I think I’ll start with aprons…

How to win? Leave a comment and your e-mail before midnight, 16 February. Winner will be notified 17 February and gifts mailed post haste. I’d love for you to follow Thistle Cove Farm but it’s not necessary to win; indeed, the only hoop you must jump is…leave a comment and a way to contact you within that comment. Easy peasy.
Now, I’m off to wander the blog world; see you around! -smile-

Blessings ~ OWOH 2011 ~ Lisa ~ small delights and treasurers ~

Soli Deo Gloria,
Sandra

I hope to see some of that gorgeous yarn pictured on the sidebar for sale later in the spring. I checked out your other site and found that you are near my daughter in Roanoke – I drive up 81 with some regularity – perhaps she and I will drive by your farm next trip!

I made sure to tell everyone in my "rules" that if you cannot ship worldwide not to partake. I didn't see in my first linking you that you have one item for USA only, can you change that or perhaps change the item. this way NO ONE is excluded. thank you so much.I hope you understand.

    You have a beautiful blog, with many heart felt words. The elephant is just too cute! I actually followed the link to you via one of Lisa's posts, where she was pulling her hair out (gently, no less!) over the trials and tribulations of her enormous OWOH feat! and in particular the reference to some folk missing the purpose of the event; to meet, not compete. It sure did make me sit back and think. I like that.
    Anyway, enough of my ramblings! It's lovely to meet you, and I hope Lisa accepts your post since it's before midnight! LOL (I did actually post mine earlier too… but it's back in draft until Monday…it's definately easier living in England with one time zone!!)

I learned of OWOH from you last year, or maybe the year before, could it be? I'm jumping in this year! It is sad that it's the last year. But it is alot of work, all out of love. Such a wonderful thing.
