Sounds and looks about right for a cold Winters Day, a lovely cup of tea, a good book and in the pink!! Enjoy, have a good weekend, Jackie in Surrey, UK.

Maggie,
Read the book and it was very good. Love the Cath mug. She makes a cover for the iPhone that I might just have to have.

Have a great weekend.

I saw a student walking down the hall at school yesterday in a pink sweat shirt: "I love Pink" and pink is my color, but then I thought "I'm tired of pink, what new color could I adopt? Aqua, I thought. Somehow, aqua just doesn't do it, does it? What thoughts we have as we walk about. Nothing better than a cup of tea, a sweet, and good book to put us in the pink. Have a good week-end.

Pink is such a cheering colour in these gray winter days. Combined with a book and a cup of tea - what a perfect match!

Bon weekend.

Sounds like a book and a cup of tea is a great plan! We had snow flurries here this morning so a nice snuggle by the fire may be in order tonight. Have a nice weekend!

Certainly looks like the perfect interlude to me, and I'm sure having a Cath Kidston mug makes everything taste better, lol.

I enjoyed that book. It made you think about the what should be told and what should be held back. ~ Maureen

Your lovely photos of Pondside's gifts makes me feel this weekend might just be better staying in, snuggled up, sipping warmth, and enjoying a good read. Perfect.

Hi Maggie,

First of all, thanks so much for leaving comments on my blog. That certainly makes blogging extra special! :)

Oh, that's a perfect post for Pink Saturday. How do you like the book? I am always up for recommendations! :)

Are you interested in winning a white cotton T-shirt with a pink heart and the words I ♥ Oktoberfest in size L? Then come over to my blog until Sunday, 22nd January, and leave a comment here .

What about having a look at my Advent and Christmas and getting an impression of Munich's Christmas market ? Moreover, you can see some frosty weather photos and pictures from a walk around my neighborhood on January 1st. Finally, there are photos of New Year's Eve . Of course, comments are welcome -- it's always great to hear what you think!

Have a wonderful 2012,
your blog friend from Munich, Germany,
Birgit

What a wonderful pink interlude! I have not read The Postmistress~ I almost downloaded the audio version several times to listen to since my TBR pile is overflowing & I enjoy listening to a book driving & walking the dogs. It got mixed reviews, did you enjoy it?

SO glad you're joining FFT!! Looking forward to your review of The Night Circus :)

Sheila said...

I enjoyed the book and wish you a wonderful afternoon reading while enjoying your steaming cup of tea!
