Happy Mail comes in many forms... do you remember my discussion on HOW to handle Honey?
I bought this jar while in CA.. it's NOT easy to use... messy messy messy!
I complained... chatted about it at Facebook, Twitter, and at my quilt group QuiltMashup where Linda said "hey you need a different container! I am the Honey Expert and will send you the right thing"
Linda's Mr. Honey Bear arrived today Yeah!
ADORABLE.. and works MUCH BETTER! You can read up on this honey HERE
Do you use Honey a lot? Buy special kinds? I'm very curious as the first came from a taste testing... they ALL tasted different, based on many factors. I heard a show on NPR about Honey and it's intrigued me ever since!
And Happy "E" mail was sent to these two people who left lovely comments to win my March Madness prizes!
Lisa Won the Binding bits with her comment " I love stripes and dots for bindings...and I really like using paper binding clips from Staples for binding clips on fabric, lol. $1.99 for 30 or 40, and they work just like the fabric binding clip."
And Jess in Australia won the fabric with "Oh the tickets are fab! I'm guessing they may be your fav too?".. yep.. I LOVE the ticket fabric!
Still one Giveaway open... let me know your thoughts on Doll Quilts!
congrats to the winners.

For honey pouring in my house,I use a small syrup pitcher like they have in diners. The lid has a level/handle that you hold back to pour and when you release it, it snaps back and cuts off what you are pouring - no mess! I purchased it at Marshall's/Home Store for around $4 a few weeks ago.

Honey seems to be the latest miracle food in the news. I buy local honey at the farmer's market. Grocery store honey does not compare! Our local beekeeper sells spring, summer and fall varieties. Fall is the darkest color and my daughter's favorite flavor. Since we started putting it in our tea, our allergy symptoms are much more mild. Yesterday's breakfast: Italian bread toast with ricotta cheese drizzled with honey! Yum!

So glad you like it! Did you know, no germ live in honey? This is in it's most natural form too......... I must admit - love it on a warm biscuit too!

Love honey! My friend's brother is a bee keeper.I purchase my honey from him.Because of the variety of flowers and plants that grow here in northwestern PA, he has a variety o on honeys with different flavors.The colors vary too!(from light to dark golden).My family likes the lighter" flower" honeys.My 82 year old father in law is partial to the dark" buck wheat"honey that has a stronger more intense flavor.Yum!

Love honey, and use it in tea and some cooking. I started trying different flavors at Craft fairs from honey farmers (are they farmer's?) Anyway, he said the flavors of different trees makes the difference and it's really delightful!

Best honey ever was my grandparent's honey that Papaw collected back in the hills and had the honeycomb in it! (back in the 60's)..My brother and I would fight over that honeycomb...LOL! Don't know what kind it was, though, I love those adorable bear honey jars!

The best honey is Orange Blossom honey. Love it on warm buttermilk biscuits. Hard to find - but last time I bought it, found it at the Super Target grocery, of all places.

I love honey! When I can afford it I love to buy different kinds, but I try to only buy raw local honey, it is great to help with my allergies. Not too mention very yummy! The last time my husband picked some up for me, he bought the big better priced jar, and a honey bear for refills. :)
