21 Coffee Mugs for Men

It can be hard to think of gifts for the men in your life, especially when they don't really know themselves what they would like to receive!

Sometimes a special coffee or tea mug will fit the bill perfectly. And it will remind them of you every time they stop for a cuppa!

A Baker's Dozen of Froggy Greeting Cards and Gifts -

When I was teaching children who struggled with reading and spelling, I wrote little stories and rhymes to accompany my literacy program. One of the rhymes was about a rather self-pitying frog and a dragonfly who was into positive thinking. 

I started to illustrate the rhyme but it didn't get very far before I was distracted by something else and the project became one of my 'unfinished symphonies'. Maybe one day I'll find time to continue it; but in the meantime, here is my little green frog - who, by the way, became a much more contented little frog by the end of the rhyme!

Dreaming Spires Roses - 17 Greeting Cards and Gifts

As I write, the beautiful Dreaming Spires climbing roses in my garden are coming to an end.

Dreaming Spires Rosebud

I've been quite thorough in my deadheading of them to encourage them to flower again in the autumn. But I accidentally removed this very much 'alive' head. And, on my kitchen table, it has provided me with a cheerful reminder of summer on days when the weather has been anything but summery!

In other years, when I've had more time, I've painted this rose in watercolour. And here are some 'Dreaming Spires' greeting cards and gifts that will bloom the whole year round. 

As you can see, their shade of yellow varies greatly throughout their transition from bud to full-blown bloom, from creamy white, through buttery yellow to an almost 'brassy' gold!
