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. ♥♥♥    

 

Boxes of mixed Greeting Cards.  I miss them  They used to be handy to keep in the house for Birthdays and other events that came up unexpectedly.  For special people I am close to I like to by individual cards, but it never hurts to have an assortment of cards available to use in emergencies! 

 

Dried flowers.  They used to be quite fashionable.  I think this particular arrangement looks really nice, and very cottagy. 

  

Baby lambs  . . .  they are so cute. So filled with all of the joys of Spring. (which is just around the corner, you know, lol)  I love to watch them gambol.  

 

But wherever could I wear it  . . . .  eyebrows would be raised.  

  

Attic bedrooms, so long as they are cool and well ventilated in the summer months . . .  

 

Floral lampshades . . .  so pretty  . . . 

  

This kitchen is everything I love in a kitchen.  Carewaron countertops, glass knobs, wainscotting backdrops, wall-papered cupboard doors, a sink skirt, a window to wash the dishes by  . . .  

 

 

Bunting of any kind  . . . any . . . 

  

Even more eyebrows would raise  . . .  

 

Ruffles and lace  . . .  and cabbage roses  . . . 

  

  

Drawer sachets . . .  to keep things smelling sweet . . .  

 

Afternoon tea  . . .  well appointed  . . .  

  

Blue gingham sheets and pillow slips  . . . . 

 

Getting lost in a good book  . . .  its been a while since I've been totally captured  . . . 

 

Blueberry pancakes  . . . 

  

Bread . . .  fresh from the oven  . . .  with plenty of cold butter  . . .  

 

 Old wooden bread boards  . . . 

 

The warm glow of candle light  . . .  

  

Puppies   . . . 

 

Kittens  . . . .

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

  

Bad news at my mom's appointment with her Vascular Surgeon yesterday.  Her foot is infected.  I was afraid of that.  She has been in so much pain.  They are now talking amputation at the knee.  He has put her on a course of anti-biotics, but he can't put her on strong ones as her kidney function is only at 20%, so he wants to see her next week.  Basically . . . she can let the infection kill her, or have her leg amputated to the knee.   Its all very distressing.  Please keep her and my sister in your prayers  . . .  (Mary and Cindy)  Thank you very much.

A thought to carry with you  . . .

until that which seems difficult

becomes possible  . . . 

and that which seems only possible

becomes habit and a real part of you  . . .

There is something very naughty but also very nice in the Kitchen today  . . .  Turkey Croque-Monsieurs.  Oh my word  . . . so very tasty.  Sandwiches are also one of my favourite things  . . .

 
Hope your day is filled with lots of your favourite things.  Don't forget!
