Tea and Honey


July is almost over.
Can you believe it?
On August 1, I'm going to take part in August Break.
It's not a total break from the world of Blog.
It works this way:
I'll share one (or more) photos here on Twisty Lane each day,
or every other day, or whenever I feel like it
for the whole month of August.
I might even slip in a real post or two every now and then.
A little break from the pressures and expectations of regular blogging.
It's also a chance to meet other Bloggers who are enjoying the August Break.
I also have plans for the month of August
(also known as UGHUST because of the heat and humidity).

I'm going to be hooking in August.
My fingers are itching and I have plenty of WIPs to finish. 

I'm going to read.
After I finish my guilty pleasure BONE APPETIT, I'm going to start THE BEEKEEPER'S LAMENT.
How's that for a lead-in to Tea and Honey?!!!



Tea and Honey


I've shared the teapot with you before.
It is part of a tea for one.
But I hadn't shared the cute little cup and saucer.

Tea and Honey
A perfect way to celebrate summer!

Month At A Glance: July 2012



Hard to believe another month is almost over.
Here is my look back at the month of July, 2012.



Month At A Glance: July 2012


Thank you to the lovely Mary for hosting Mosaic Monday.

I plan on being a couch potato during the Olympics
and the month of August starts -- otherwise known as UGHUST with the heat and humidity!
It's a good time to be part of August Break.

Wishing YOU well and much joy.

Camera Critters: The Girls


Thanks to Misty for hosting Camera Critters.


Camera Critters



This is the Princess Mina, a lilac point Siamese with a bobbed tail.
She came to live at Twisty Lane on July 5.
Mina was adopted from a no kill shelter and was the mother of 5!
She's had a few medical problems -- ear mites, intestinal bacteria infection
and to add insult to injury -- tape worms.
She's doing great now. Finished with all her medications.
She loves to eat and needs to lose a little weight.
She loves to play and would love to play with her adopted sister, Cassie.
Cassie isn't sure.

I'm not sure what Mina was looking at -- perhaps the ceiling fans!
She is a cute little thing.





Mina


This is Cassie -- the little star.
She is giving me the "Mummy, why did you bring her here?" look.
It's okay, Cassie.
You'll always be my baby girl!


Cassie


Wishing YOU well, much joy and a fun filled weekend!
Stay cool!

Mug Rug


I made another mug rug.
Changed it around just a bit.


Mug Rug


This is my new Buddha mug.
It is huge -- 24 oz should get me started in the morning!
It's so big, it doesn't fit on the mug rug!


Buddha Mug


You can see the Coventry mark on the bottom.


Kensington Buddha Mug


I've been enjoying White Peach Wuyi Oolong tea by Stash.
Yes, I know ... it's tea bags, but it's good!

I keep forgetting to share the photos from my 2012 Sereni - Tea calendar.
Gorgeous photos and lovely quotes.
This is from July.
