My Favorite Things . . .

 



Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . these are some of the things in life that I enjoy, and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Let's share!   


 

Pretty bags.  I loved it when I first went to the U.K. and noticed that most shops, even the small ones had really pretty bags.  Even the sweet shops. Little striped paper bags, etc.


 


Deer being deer  . . .  in their natural habitat.


 


Christmas trees in pots. That way you can replant them into your garden after Christmas.


 


Hand spun yarns  . . . 


 


The Coastal Towns of Norway.  So pretty. 


 


Writing desks. So much character. Always wanted one.


 

Old wooden chairs  . . . 


 

Jack Frost  . . . 


 


Fresh bread with butter and jam. But I could never cut it that straight.


 

Hope. How could we ever cope without it.


 

Manual typewriters. Its what I learned on.


 


Vintage dolls . . . 


 

Bone handled knives . . . 


 

Tweed-like yarns . . . 


 

Eyelet lace  . . . 

 

Turned wooden beds . . . 


 

Quilts . . . 


 

Roses . . . 


 

The classics . . . 


 

Crochet Shelf edging . . . 


And those are my favorite things for this week. I hope some of them are also some of yours!


A thought to carry with you . . .

Easy Cranberry Orange Mold



Another vintage recipe in the kitchen today. Easy Cranberry Orange Mold. From the 1950's. Its simple to make and quite delicious. Only 3 simple ingredients.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American Readers and friends! I hope it is filled with lots of good food and family. May you be blessed!

We are hoping that dad can come home from the hospital today. He was doing so much better yesterday and has a lot of his energy back since the blood transfusion!

I had my ECG. No news on that yet.

In any case, I hope you all have a beautiful day. Be safe!  Don't forget!

  1. I love all the things that you do, I even have the manual typewriter that I owned as a teenager downstairs. So sorry about the news on Mac, (meant to mention it yesterday). Hoping it is a lovely day and that your Dad can finish his recovery at home.

    1. It was really heartbreaking to have to get to that point, but they had tried hard for over 10 months to deal with that infection/virus/etc. whatever it was. They did their best, but in the end this was the most loving thing they could do for him, as much as it broke all of our hearts. Dad will be coming home today! We are all happy about that! xoxo
