Sometimes you are reading a blog and you find a link to another blog that looks interesting. Or you are reading the comments on a post at a blog and you find one that captures you, and you think, "I like this person, I have to check out her blog." Well, that happens to me all the time and that's probably why I follow so many blogs. And that is how I met Suzan.
Her blog is called Old Grey Mare. She is sweet and witty and down to earth. And crafty. Give her a piece of twine and a twig and she will create something memorable. And now I am head over heels that she has opened her own shop called a Mare Of A Different Color. These are some of the beautiful, handcrafted pieces you can order. And things are selling fast.
These are the gorgeous little {I shouldn't say little, they measure about 5' x 4'} hearts that smell heavenly. I couldn't stop at ordering just one. Use them as sachets, or fill a cute basket with them as I did...I am in LOVE! Pop in and visit Suzan and tell her Blondie said Hi! I hope you are soon hearing the knock of your little UPS man with a beautiful pink and green box filled with goodies.See you soon! :-)

Thanks Jane...what a lucky find! The same thing happens to me...I go blog hopping and then can't remember where I started!
I think it is an age thing :)

Suzan is quite a character. She is very talented and has a wonderful collection of ironstone pitchers.
Hi Jane!
Those are so adorable! They'd make great gifts! I'm on my way to introduce myself now!:)
Cute hearts Jane! Nice of you to give the shout out, I'll stop over:@)
Jane,
I am so touched, I am a bit misty eyed. What a wonderfully sweet thing for you to do and say. I love nothing more than creating products that some one else finds beautiful or useful.
It is also why I enjoy teaching and organizing. It makes this world just a wee bit happier, when we share of ourselves.
I have enjoyed getting to know you and look forward to many more fun emails.
I am so thankful for your kindness today : D

She's super talented! I love these. I've been swamped with dealing with the new house, so not much blog reading has taken place. I know though what you mean about visiting someone based on their comments or a link that was shared. I've met some wonderful bloggers that way:-). I'll be sure to pop by this lovely blog. XX
Those are beautiful. Thanks for sharing...another blog for me to follow now too! btw Our hot tub is right out the sliding door! thank goodness!
Those are sweet Jane. It is so true, one blog leads to another, to another...all so good!

Susan
Oh yes, I'm always finding new blogs, by seeing a Comment here, or a click-able link there. But often, they don't keep resonating... Me with them, and/or them with me.
And so I tend to have a core group of Dear Readers, who stay with me, and with whom I stay.
Gentle hugs...
Sounds so familiar, just a couple of minutes and next thing you are who knows where discovering new blogging friends! The hearts are gorgeous!
Tracey
Jane,
That happens to me all the time, the hourglass of blogging temptation. Those sachets are so lovely. Now, I must link over there.
Karen
Hey, today I got my little felted roses from her! Aren't they special?

I do some catching up. Yikes.
Have a great sunday
Feb. 27th... Jane, I have OK'ed your comment on my latest post. Twice. And it still is not showing up. ???????????
Perhaps Blogger is just a little slow today? I don't know. But if it still has not been put in my Comments, by Blogger, later... I contact you again and ask you to comment it again.
I am so sorry this is happening! And I am so sorry that I have to have Comment Ver. setting on again. Ugh.. Ugh... Ugh... -sigh-
Ol' Auntie A.
Ooops, now I know what happened! And it was my fault, of course. :-(
I kept tweaking my entry, and putting it up, over and over again. Your comment came in on one title, of my entry. And did not get on my last published entry.
So...... I have copied your comment, out of my mail, and will put it in, myself.
Yikes! So sorrrrry!!!!!!!
Thanks for the lead. I will stop over right now.
Have a great week! La
they are so sweet. on my way over to check her blog out now!
Trish xo
How cute are these Janie ~ I can see why you fell in love. Happy Sunday! xo
Those are so cute Jane!
How's life treating you my dear?
It's crappy here in Wisconsin. First we were all happy and united after winning the Super Bowl. Now we are all fighting and hating each other. It's not good.
I may have to move back to Illinois. I was born in Peoria so I still feel like I am from Illinois too.
I have been watching little Addison a lot while Katie works. It wears me out but she is such a delightful baby and I am totally smitten.
Take Care and Hugs from your buddy here in the Frozen Tundra.
Where's Spring?
Cindy
I am such a
fool for rosettes

her with us, Jane!!
xx Suzanne
Jane how fun to find another interesting blogger and I have the same dilemma because I love so many!
Come and enter my Artful Offering and read a great Interview!
