My Favourite Things . . .

 

 

A few of the things in life that make my heart go pitty pat. Maybe they will do the same thing for yours. ♥♥♥    

 

 

 

Kittens, especially orange ones. I love them.  There was a big orange cat in our back yard last night.  Mitzie put the run to it.  She is brave if we are with her. Otherwise it is just a stare down. 

 

  

 

Puppies, with their fat little tummys and waddle of a walk.  I love them too.  Just like babies, I think they are made cute on purpose.  So you will love them and naturally want to take care of them.  

 

 

French milled pretty bars of soap.  At the manor there were boxes and boxes of them in the linen closet.  Big bars, small bars, all smelling beautiful, and so very, very pretty . . . 

 

 

  

 

Red geraniums in pots on windowsills.  Can there be anything more welcoming? They just say to me, Come on in!  Somebody nice lives here! 

 

 

 

Big fluffy bows. On anything . . . 

 

  

 

Look at these baby shoes  . . .  love, love . . .  love.

 

 

Powder Puffs  . . . especially with lovely smelling powder . . . achoo!  S'cuse me!

 

  

 

Tea lights.  I tend to buy the little battery ones now because they are safer when it comes right down to it.  But I do love the smelly ones . . . 

 

 

I also like fairy lights  . . . 

 

  

 

Aprons.  Any kind.  Love, love them.  I used to have quite a few.  I need to dig them out and wear them more often! 

 

 

 

Cardigans, especially ones with 3/4 sleeves.  I hate having anything around my wrist. 

 

 

 

Marigolds.  Slugs hate them.  They make a great repellent for all sorts of garden pesks.

 

Stone steps  . . .  where will they lead.  I hope its someplace nice  . . . 

  

Gazebos  . . .  I've always wanted one  . . . 

 

Austria.  I loved our holiday there in 2009. It is one of my favourite places we have gone together. 

  

Sunflowers.  Any colour.  They make me smile. 

 

Garden statuary  . . . 

  

Historical Costume Drama's . . .  we just finished watching Poldark, series 4.  There will be a series 5, but it is said to be the last one.  Sigh  . . .  

 

Blooming heather  . . .  covering the moors and hillsides like a purple sheet . . . 

  

Cranberry glass  . . . 

 

Milk glass  . . . 

  

Jadeite . . . 

 

Vintage Pyrex  . . . 

  

An old fashioned larder  . . .  oh to have one  . . . 

 

The simple grilled cheese sandwich  . . .  nothing more, nothing less  . . . 

  

Ripe peaches  . . .  sweet and juicy  . . . 

And those are my favourite things for this week . . .  what are some of yours?

A thought to carry with you  . . .
