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. ♥♥♥     

 

 

 

Shortbread biscuits and they don't even have to be homemade, although to be sure homemade is infinitely better.  I just love shortbread! 

 

 

  

 

Old black & white films, especially the musicals.  I never tire of them.  One of the things I really used to love was when I was married before and we visited my mother  in law.  She loved old black and white films also and she would tape them so that when I visited we could sit and watch them together.  Of all my ex-in laws I miss her the most. We were very much alike in a lot of ways and had a lot of the same interests.  We got along really well.  I loved and love her.  She must be getting close to 90 years of age now! 

 

 

 

The Holiday Season beginning with Thanksgiving.  I love, love, LOVE the holidays.  I love everything about them.  I love the foods and the traditions.  I love the decorations.  I love EVERYTHING about them!  When my children were growing up I did my best to make every holiday season filled with joy and wonder for them. The last holiday I ever had with my family was Thanksgiving 1999. I wish I had known then it would be the last one.  Alas, I did not, but that's okay because I treasure it in my heart and every year I take it out and love it all over again! Some people never even have one.  I had many, many brilliant holidays, and I still do, as different as they might be.

  

Snowmen.  I love snowmen. I love making them. I love looking at them.  I just adore snowmen in any way, shape or form. 

  

Greengate China.  I love the stuff.  I have a few pieces.  If I won the lottery every bit of dinnerware, bakeware, glassware, table linens etc. would be Greengate. Seriously.  

 

China Tea Sets, with the cup, saucer and sandwich/dainty plate.  I love them. I have two sets. 

  

I especially love these types where the saucer is the sandwich/dainty plate.  I have none of these types. 

 

White ceramic milk jugs.  They come in handy for all sorts. 

  

Brooches.  I love brooches. 

 

Enamel Ware  . . . 

  

Linen Tea Towels  . . .  

 

Old trunks  . . .  the stories they could tell.  

 

Salted, roasted Pistachio nuts  . . . 

  

Twinkle lights  . . . . 

 

Luke and Lorelai . . .  Lorelai and Luke  . . . 

  

Ceramic spoons  . . .  

 

Embroidered knitware  . . .  

 

This little one . . .  except that she isn't a thing . . .  she is just a favourite.

  

The first snowfall of the year  . . .  I can smell it.  Its extra ozone in the air  . . . I miss that. 

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

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American family and friends! 

A thought to carry with you  . . .
