5th Blogging Anniversary Giveaway

On January 24, 2012 I published my first blog post.  Five years have sped by, and to date I've written 1,283 posts!  If you read my blog in those early days, you may remember I wrote about being a Sandy Clough tea lady [independent distributor] for A Sandy Clough Tea back in 2004.  The company wasn't in business very long [three years], but I've kept my kit intact except for the Quilters Collection.  

When trying to decide what the giveaway would be for my 5th blog anniversary I decided on a teacup and saucer from the Kindness Makes Friends Collection along with a box of 10 accompanying note cards. Sandy's things are collectible, and the teacup is in its original box. On the inside rim of the teacup are the words, Kind Friend, which is how I feel about each of you who visit my blog.


If you would like to be in a drawing to win the collectible teacup and note cards, leave a message at the bottom of this post between now and Friday, January 27th, and I'll announce the winner on Saturday, January 28th.  Regrettably, due to high shipping costs, this drawing is for U.S. and Canadian readers only.


Regardless of whether you've been a reader who has taken the time to leave comments, or if you've just followed along silently, thank you for visiting my blog!  Good luck on the drawing.

  1. Happy 5th blogaversary Phyllis. This is the sweetest teacup, too bad the company didn't stay active longer so their products could be shared with more people.
    Have a wonderful week.

I have not commented often, but when I see a new post in my list of emails, I always "click" it first, because I know I will find something interesting and beautiful. You do everything with such poise and elegance. You truly are the Relevant Tea Lady.

  21. Happy 5th bloggaversary Phyllis! I didn't realize we started blogging just a few weeks apart - my 5th was Jan 1st. : - )

    Well, you and I both know we're old STS fans. To this day I thank God every single day for the friendships - true and real - I made because of her chatroom. God brings friends together in the neatest of ways!

    I love you were a distributor. I would've loved to have done that but back then I was working 2 full time jobs as a single parent, and no way did I have time to do anything else but eat and sleep. : - )

    I would be delighted to participate in this generous and sweet giveaway, thank you for your generoisty. Again, hope you keep blogging another 5 years! ♥ Hugs.

  24. I cannot believe you've been blogging for five years already, Phyllis! Seems like only yesterday you were calling me at the office that day to sweetly ask a question about setting up your blog. Wow ... time really does fly, but I'm so glad to have met and bonded with you over our love of teatime (as well as a few other things!). Oh, and I remain grateful you were willing to share the quilter's pieces from the Sandy Clough kit — they remain some of my favorite teawares today, and when I'm not using them, they're displayed in my office so I can see them regularly!
