Friendship T and two mugs

 

Although I am still under the weather, I'm putting on a brave face and trying to be a responsible person and host to both AJJ and T Tuesday.

I have received mail from two wonderful friends.  Since I'm still so shaky, I decided to scan the envelopes.  At least now you can see both the stamps and the art work.

This is from Dianne Carey.  This is the front.  As you can see, the stamp is a Forever with three flags.
 

This is the back of the envelope.

This is from Patty, my sweet friend who talked me into taking over as host of T Stands For Tuesday.  The stamp is one of a series of 20 different endangered species in the set.  They were first issued in May, 2023 for the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act.

Unfortunately, I have run out of time and will open them next week.  Until then, thank you both my dear friends.

Now for two animal mugs I found at The Spice Merchant.

Both dogs

and cats got equal billing this week.

I've shown mine, now it's time to share your own drink related post.  It can be photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I will gladly visit, as will other T participants.  Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.  Please remember to visit your fellow T participants.
 

I would be remiss if I didn't remind you it's time to dig up your Second on the 2nd.  It can be any genre, any style, any length, as long as it has been published sometime in the past.

How lovely that you received such lovely mail from your friends, dearest Elizabeth. I hope that this makes you feel at least a little better than you have recently!

These animal mugs are so adorable! I like dogs and cats equally, but I have lived with cats for many decades - and another cat has just moved in with us 😻. Of course I know their morning meow - but they never cared much for coffee, unlike me 😊.

All the best, Traude

Sorry 'm so late in commenting. I'm in a hotel and I couldn't get wifi. I'm ok now (I think)
How awful you are still not feeling well. It's dragging on a bit.
The black and white mugs are really nice.
Take care, will you.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

It sounds like you're making the best of a tough situation! I'm glad to hear you're still hosting AJJ and T Tuesday, even while feeling under the weather. The mail from your friends sounds delightful, and scanning the envelopes is a clever way to share the beautiful artwork and stamps without having to open them right away. I can't wait to see what they sent!

The animal mugs you found at The Spice Merchant sound adorable! It’s great that both dogs and cats are represented—perfect for any animal lover.

I appreciate the invitation to share drink-related posts! It’s always inspiring to see the creativity within the community. I’ll definitely be joining in this week!

Take care of yourself, and I hope you feel better soon!
