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. ♥♥♥  

 

 

Glass Pumpkins. They come in all colours, shapes, sizes. This one is handblown by Leonoff  Art Glass. I think its quite beautiful. 

 

So are these ones by Jack Pine.   

  

Blyth Dolls.  With their big bobble heads and eyes and their small bodies they intrigue me. I could look at them on Pinterest for quite a while, saving, saving, saving.  They fascinate me. All the colours, all the different hair styles, all the different outfits  . . . I guess they come in different sizes also. 

 

Vintage Illustration, especially when it is from old children's books. I love the old verses also. I wonder do children still read them? 

  

Mittens. I would rather wear mittens than gloves.  My hands feel much warmer and cosier in Mittens. I need to learn how to knit on four needles so I can knit my own. 

 

Rings. I love rings. Not overly large ones though.  Just normal sized.  I am not a person who likes anything around my wrists or neck much, but I love rings.  I did like to wear necklaces and bracelets when I was younger, but now I am getting old, I just think they accentuate things I don't want noticed, lol.

 

Marigolds . . .  they are such cheerful things. 

  

Whimsey in a garden.  I have fairies tucked away everywhere in mine.  They are a delight to me.

 

Pressing flowers in books . . . they are like little secret surprised that make you smile when you happen upon one.  The same with feathers . . . 

  

Forget Me Nots.  So precious, but I have yet been able to get them to grow in my garden. It is the same with Lily of the Valley . . .

  

Vintage Pot Holders  . . . 

 

Gingerbread Houses  . . .  I used to make one every year for my kids.  

  

Pies  . . .  from sweet to savoury. If its in a crust, yum . . . well, for the most part.  

 

The sound of geese flying South for the Winter . . . it is a haunting melody.  

 

Playing with felt  . . . 

  

Literally anything with polka dots  . . . I just adore polka dots. 

 

Clocks, tick tock, tick tock.  I find the sound of them tick tocking quite comforting, unlike a dripping tap. That I cannot stand. 

 

 

Poetry.  I adore poetry. I love to read it and I love to write it . . . 

 

House Plans, especially vintage ones and this is one of my absolute favourites. 

 

 Orange cats.  I think they are smarter than regular cats, but I could be wrong. Don't burst my bubble.

 

Humanized animals, which is probably why I love Beatrix Potter so much! 

And that is that for today. What are some of yours?
