Morning glories . . . love them . . .
Fancy house trims . . . . sigh . . .
What don't I love about these . . . nothing that's what!
Susan's picket fence garden . . . . sigh . . .
Sweet Peas. They are the loveliest garden flower . . . as if you have captured a bouquet of butterflies . . .
Crisp lettuces . . . like Peter Rabbit, they make me quite soporific . . .
Doe-eyed bunnies . . . .
Pie . . . any kind . . . any place . . . any time . . .

In the kitchen today . . . . Grandmother's Buttermilk Cake. Delicious of course!
The electrics on my stove went kaput yesterday so I have no stove now. They can't come to look at it until Monday. It will be the slow cooker and microwave until then! Hope you have a beautiful day. Its chucking it down here today! Blah! Don't forget!

And I do too!
Oh my...Buttermilk Cake...that would be such a treat!! I cannot use real milk anymore, but almond milk with a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice seems to work just fine in recipes, albeit, not as rich tasting however. And don't those dresses look comfy? I would call that a "house dress", kind of like my Grandma used to wear around the house!!
ReplyDeleteHugs...hope you will have a good day...I am headed off to bed now...haha...tis after midnight here...I am a "late night" person...

I didn't have any buttermilk Elizabeth, so actually used milk I had soured with some lemon juice this time! Those do look like house dresses. Oh what kinder simpler times they were! Love and hugs, xoxo
DeleteI've Pined Le cake;) Love Susan's picket garden too..and did you see her new cups? I've nary a one but those 2 new ones are so cute..I wish our CDN dollar would augment..
ReplyDeleteoh well..
BTW That Johnson's Brother pattern has been on VS a few times..very reasonably priced.
I was lucky this week w/ a dear dear thing..I'll share it soon..two parts were missing..one tea cup..and the lid to the tea pot so I am on the lookout.. ;)
My first MIL had that JB pattern. I loved it. It was their every day dishes. I can't wait to see what you found! I love Susan's cups also. I did buy one, way back at first from the stockist over here, but it is soooo big! Love it though! xoxo
DeleteOh my sweet friend, I have missed reading your posts. I have loved seeing you here and there on facebook. I’m back again after a month non-rest.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love all the things your love. We do have a lot of the same tastes.
This one was fun. I particularity liked the dish patterns, always love pearls and of course Vintage Valentines are the best.
Then there is that adorable Tuxedo cat, morning glories and those adorable dresses.
I had a home with a white picket fence for a while and loved it.
I do love sweet peas and that cute rabbit too.
W also had a home with a clawfoot tub and it was so fun to just soak in. I loved those moments.
Very cute butterfly quilt and I always love blue bird items.
I have loved For Get Me Not’s since Elder Uchtdorf’s message.
Thank you for that cake recipe; I am sure it will taste just like the one my mother used to make.
Love you much and It was fun to come back today! Big hugs~
Thanks LeAnn! The cake is great, and I love Elder Uchtdorf's talk also. It is nice to see you back. You lead such a busy life, I don't know how you do it! Love and hugs, xoxo
