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. ♥♥♥     

 

Pretzel sticks.  Pretzels altogether. I love them.  Crisp. Crunchy. Salty. Great with Kool-Aid. (Now that's something I haven't had in forever!) 

 

I'm an adult, but I'm not afraid to admit that I like Kool-Aid.  I couldn't drink it now because of the Diabetes, unless it was sugar free, I guess.  And its all artificial, so its not good for you, but I always loved it.  Especially the red one.  I can remember drinking it as a special treat when I was a child, and if it came in one of those coloured aluminium cups, it was even better.  

 

Do you remember these??  Why did everything taste better in them?  We didn't have them at home.  We had these  . . . 

 

The Tupperware cups, but  my mom didn't have the caddy.  Just the cups.  My grandmaman had the spoons and they were put together as some sort of arrangement on her coffee table in the little lounge she had just off the kitchen. I remember them clearly.  It was kind of pretty actually. 

  

The way the Christmas Tree used to smell when my father brought it into the house. Like a forest . . .  a pine forest, and so fresh and green. I still love that smell. To me it smells just like Christmas.   If I find a candle that smells like that I always buy it.  

 

White linens  . . .  towels, sheets, pillow cases . . .  white is my favourite. 

  

Beatrix Potter books  . . .  the illustrations.  They are so lovely. 

 

Old children's books  . . .  I love the smell, the stories, the illustrations  . . .  

  

Reading is one of my favourite things and has always been one of my favourite things  . . .  when you can read, opening a book is like travelling into a whole new world.  I cannot imagine not being able to read, or not enjoying it. 

 

If you want to get lost, I can't think of a better place to get lost in than in a book . . .  

 

Story book cottages . . .  they look like a wonderful place to live . . . 

 

Teddy bears  . . . 

  

Flower-sprigged dresses  . . .  with lace and ribbons  . . . 

 

Wooden gates and the sound the latch makes when they shut  . . .  

  

Windows that look like this  . . .  don't you feel that if you crawled out that window, you would be crawling out into a magical world? 

 

Embroidery and lace  . . .  

  

Quilts to keep you warm  . . . 

 

Gingerbreadmen  . . .  run, run as fast as you can  . . .  

  

Beautifully wrapped packages  . . .  you almost hate to unwrap them  . . . 

 

Twinkle lights   . . .  anywhere, anytime, anyhow  . . . 

 

Christmas markets . . . villages.  I never have any money to spend, but I like to wander  . . .  

  

Scented candles  . . .  I love LOVE them . . . 

And with that I better stop or I will go on forever . . .  wait, just one more  . . .

  

 

Danish butter cookies  . . . 

A thought to carry with you  . . .

In the English Kitchen today  . . . . Ravioli Lasagna.  Its a doddle. 

My friend Tina and I are going out to lunch today at a Lebanese Restaurant that just opened.  They invited me to review it and I could bring someone with me.  I think I would like to treat Tina to a free lunch, so away we go!  Hope your day is filled with lots of your favourite things.  Don't forget!
