Chrtistmas gift.

[memmey]

I was thinking what a wonderful Christmas gift this is for all of us to be back here together. I am so grateful to see your names here.
I emailed Maria( c.diva) and she replyed, she will find us and all we lack is Deb. What I wouldn't give to hear from Deb.

This is a blessing and a great gift to have all of us together here.
Merry Christmas to each one of you, I missed our visits so much.

I agree, memmey:D! For a while there, it looked like we all might be flying off in different directions, but thanks to the good folks here at Cottages & Bungalows, we have a new home:D!

Merry Christmas to you, too!

You are completely right ~ I would have asked for this for Christmas. I can't wait to "see" Maria again. Whoever has Deb's address, please send her a note and tell her how much we miss her.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Happy Holidays, Everyone!

Awww.........this really is nice to be together again.

I hope everyone enjoys the holidays and has time with family & friends.

Seriously, this was a lovely, happy resolution to a potentially very painful loss.

It's like we've just moved the conversation to a different vintage kitchen.

Virtual tea, anyone? :) I'm happy to pour.

Really ya'll are gonna think I'm crazy but really when I see you all here I could cry. This is the greatest thing.

I"m also really glad that people are posting and not just lurking!! I think the new location has been invigorating...

My goal for the weekend is to take some photos to post!

Leave it to Memmey to post the heart-touching feel-good post of the day! In all seriousness, the thought of losing all of you in one fell swoop was just miserable. In case some of you didn't catch the fantabulous news, I am closing on my very first little cottage early in the week. To have lost you all at any point, after at least a couple of years of weekly chats would have been very painful. However, to be moving into my first cottage after all of the searching, well, not knowing where all of you would be during this process was a little more than I could take. I am keeping my fingers crossed everything goes well. I clicked over to our "old home" and I saw that CheapDiva signed in to say goodbye over there. Once Deb finds her way here, I'll feel much better. I think we are missing a handful of others, so let's try to keep thinking. Overall though, I can't keep visiting the "old house" - - spammers have moved into the neighborhood and I'm guessing dear Rex is moving toward a bright new future. I thought we should all keep his family in our thoughts as well. He took very good care of all of us by keeping us safe while we had our tea party fun.

So, yes, Merry Christmas. Many blessings to all of you.

I'm glad we have such a nice new forum and it's wonderful to see all the familiar names but it's also nice to meet new members:)
