Tiny Teapot Love

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 4 Comments/ 452

Tiny teapots are easier to pack.  Tiny teapots are easier for loved ones to bring home from travels as gifts which explains the teapot on the blog today.  My mom took a trip to England and this was one of the little things that found Continue reading →

5 years Later

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals/ 12 Comments/ 531

When you have pets you know that their lives, although such a huge part of your own, will most likely come to an end .  You might try to prepare yourself but when it happens it is still a really difficult thing.   Five years Continue reading →

Treepot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 8 Comments/ 12723

Did you catch that play on words?  Treepot Tuesday?  Not Teapot Tuesday. I know –  I am so witty. Today’s teapot is one that I purchased at Teavana years ago.  It is an adorable tree shape with little people carved into the trunk.  . Creepy Continue reading →

A Community that Cares

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 9 Comments/ 453

I live in a very caring community. My immediate neighborhood of Connestee Falls is amazing and always the first folks to pitch in when there is a need. Our larger community of Brevard is a close knit thriving community with more non profits than you Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Spiritual/ 4 Comments/ 535

I found this post I wrote in 2017. I had completely forgotten about this incident and that I wrote about it. It hit me hard that I had forgotten something as miraculous as this and I thought it was time to share it again. In Continue reading →

Christmas Cards-A Dying Tradition

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 13 Comments/ 669
