This post is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Teresa Kasner: artist, illustrator, designer, craftswoman, generous contributor and volunteer, avid collector, loving and beloved wife, mother, grandmother, blogger, and friend.
Teresa's blog was a lovely place, full of warmth and life. She enjoyed chronicling the doings of her family and pets, her meetings with friends, the scenic beauty of Oregon and the Columbia River Gorge, her ongoing craft projects, and her amazing collections of antique glass and furniture. The flowers and trees that grew on her farm, and her beloved red barn, were frequent and familiar sights to all her blogging friends.
I'll miss reading Teresa's blog posts, and seeing her cheery comments on mine, often adorned with flourishes of type that reflected the season or holiday or simply her happy love of decoration.
Thank you, Teresa, for adding so much beauty to the world. These flowers are for you.

ReplyDeleteMuch too soon and too quickly.
DeleteThis is such a lovely remembrance. She would appreciate the flowers. It is so hard to fill the hole left when someone leaves us.

DeleteWhat a beautiful and loving tribute to Teresa. She touched so many lives and will truly be missed. Your flowers for her were perfect! Blessings always dear friend.
ReplyDeleteAnd to you!
DeleteAll these photos were from a bike ride taken a few days before her death. When I looked through them I couldn't believe how many of them reminded me of her. There seemed no more fitting tribute to someone who had loved flowers as much as I did.
She would so love those. What a meaningful tribute. I am so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Deb. She was a good friend to many bloggers.
DeleteShe was so lovely, such a loss for many people. CN x
ReplyDeleteSo true, Clicky.
ReplyDeleteI have had crocheted hearts from a pattern by Teresa. They remind me of her every time I see one. Now there is even more special meaning to the hearts.
ReplyDeleteAll the best!

Thank you, Regula! I had forgotten about that heart pattern. What a nice reminder of her.
DeleteHope you are doing well, and having a nice spring. We are still having cold nights here (some with frost), but soon, I hope, it will be warm enough to plant flowers. :)
