Mug heaven

There was a point when I thought we were never going to get there, but after 3 1/2 hours and three major hold ups, we got to the Emma Bridgewater factory in Stoke. I have been so excited about today, because we've collected Bridgewater pottery for years and to have my own design in production is unbelievable. The mug will be available on the Bridgewater website in around 2 weeks time, supporting the THHN. Stock will be limited and all will bear my signature x

  1. yay alice ;)

    Its me Adhiti - you've seen me post on your facebook. I love your blog and i love your posts, you're an inspiration and you're a sweetheart.

    I just wanted to say i am from Kenya and when i read your bucket list i felt like so bad. I wish you weren't too sick that you couldn't go to one of the most amazing places in the world. I hope that one day the doctors tell you you are strong enough to travel out of the UK and can go, or even better i realy hope you do get better.

  2. Hi Alice,

    I see Whale Watching is on your to-do list and I hope you get to go. My experience was completely magical. We went kayaking out to the Johnstone Straight (I live in Canada) and camped on the beach. We saw a baby Orca 'practice' hunting salmon and then be shuushed along and hurry'd up by it's pod! A orca came right up to my boat and swam under it. On our last morning, I woke up really early and went to the beach. It was so foggy I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. But I could hear the orcas in the water in front of me. It was one of the most magical experiences of my life and I wish the same for you.

    Here are two links to video, if you care to enjoy!

    Keep blogging. You're awesome and don't let the jerks of the internet hold you back! xo Jocelyn

  3. That's so cool!

    I'm so glad your bucket list is getting ticked off and that good people around you globally are making it happen for you.

    I wish we could see photos of you in action on all your adventures.

  6. Hi Alice!

    That's so exciting about your mug design going in to production! Make sure you let us know when it's available for purchase.

    My cousin is moving into an apartment across the street from his hospital on Monday. He'll be there for a month or so with his wife because he's undergoing a bone marrow transplant. We're really hoping that it kicks out the lymphoma, because the doctors don't know what else to do. So your goal for more bone marrow donors is definitely close to my heart. x

    Good luck with everything!

  9. Alice,

    That's great news about the mug. Can't wait until we can purchase one and show our support. Congrats on accomplishing that. I'm not sure if you knew this, but Taylor Swift has an unreleased song called "Gracie", which was written about a young girl named Gracie who suffered through bouts of leukemia. Eventually, Gracie overcame to odds and is now cancer free today. Hopefully you will experience a miracle similar to hers. The rare song cannot be found anywhere on the internet, but let me know if you would like to hear it. You could probably relate to it and appreciate it more than just about anyone.

    Kind regards,

    Steve

    My name in Diane and I live in the States, in a small town named Swansboro, in North Carolina. It is on the Atlantic coast....lots of hurricanes.

  56. That's so exciting Alice! I've recently started a blog to try my luck at writing and all that jazz, and I came across yours through a fellow blogger. I have to say, you are INCREDIBLY brave for documenting your journey this way, and sharing it with the world. It's inspiring that you're carrying on with it despite the fact you've been beaten down by bitter people who must have nothing better to do with their days than try to get attention through controversial comments on your site. You are awesome, keep at it! x

Well done on all the work you are doing for others - you are a special young lady and are part of a fantastic family!

  72. I know that this is off topic, but I've always wanted to be a bone marrow donor. The only problem is that I'm only 13. I think that it's amazing that your trying to do everything you want to do, because I think that I would be to chicken to go swimming with sharks. You have a lot of guts. Although I wouldn't mind a purple iPad. Sorry I got off topic. I would really like to know more about being a bone marrow donor because if there's a chance of saving someones life, even a slim one, I would love to help.

  73. Hi Alice
    Have you ever had an operation? Cause I need one and I'm a bit worried

    ReplyDelete
  74. Hi Alice :) My name is Tara, and because of your story I am starting the process to become a marrow donor. (I saw you on the news :P) You are truly an inspiration, and I admire your strength and good spirit. I am from the US, 22 years and my sister Colleen is a Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor, and although she's had an extremely difficult trip to recovery, I plan to tell her about your story. I will say many prayers for you and I hope that you have a blast doing all of those things on your bucket list =). I really hope you get better, God Bless.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I just wanted to say that just by being yourself, you have opened the eyes of thousands around the world. We take so much for granted. I wish that I could do something to help you or make you feel better. I'm signing up for a free swab kit here in the U.S. because of you. You are incredibly brave and loved... a true inspiration. I wish you and your family all the best. xo

  80. Hi Alice,
    You are such an inspiration to me and my family. I lost an uncle to leukemia, and I see his ability to still love his life in you. I am so happy that you had fun and are doing the things you love. I look forward to seeing the mug!

    ReplyDelete
  81. Alice,
    Oh, I so want one of your mugs! Can't wait to see what they look like, and I really hope I can get one. That was a very cool wish, and I'm really glad you got to do it.
    I know a girl who got a wish from the Make-a-Wish foundation when she was little and went through a similar situation (she had to get a bone marrow transplant, and she is fine now). Her wish was to meet a famous country singer. It was really cool, and she still treasures that experience.
    I'm going to put an advert on my blog sidebar for Bone Marrow Registry. This really does need more attention. Thanks for bringing this to the attention of the public, Alice. You're a blessing from God, and your and your families work is going to save so many people. It's like a stone dropped in water; the ripples are going to be very far reaching.

    God bless you and your.
    With prayers and well wishes,
    ZG

  83. Hi Alice
    You have been very active just lately haven't you. Its great to see so many of you wishes come true.
    I think your mug design is great and i have just ordered one. I am hoping to start a new job soon so your mug will take pride of place on my desk and will keep me going with tea and coffee all day and every time I have a drink from it i can smile and think of you and your wonderful family.

    God Bless
