My Friday Finds . . .

 
 
A few of the things  I find each week that pique my interest, bring me joy, inspire me to learn, create, do, become, inspire memories . . . maybe they will do the same for you!   (I can't believe its already Friday!) 
 
 


No Tox Life. I am intrigued.  Not cheap by any stretch and I wonder if it works properly?

Nothing new to share cook-wise today so an old one, Pork Chops & Stuffing.  (On the plus side the china cabinet is gone!  Now I just have to find a place to put everything that was in it.) 

Have a wonderful Friday. Don't forget . . .

  1. Good morning, Marie. What a lot of good ideas. How cute are those little seedling pots? And the paperclip/ribbon bookmarks are sweet. I love the recycled gift tags, too. I'm glad your china cupboard got picked up but I'm curious why you wanted to get rid of it. It looks like it held quite a lot of "stuff". Well, here it is Friday again. Only one more week left in January. It will soon be spring with its promise of renewal and hope. Well, maybe I'm being a tad optimistic here. Hugs, Elaine

    1. Hi Elaine! It was just huge and overwhelmed this room. Our homes are really quite tiny here in the UK and it took up the whole wall in our dining area. I can't wait to show you all a photograph when I am finished sorting everything out. We have gotten a long low bench large enough for two to three to sit on for along the wall, with storage bins underneath and on Monday two tall narrow bookcases are coming to match (ikea) where I can store my collectables on show and it should look fresher and more open in here. We'll see. That's my hope anyways! Yes, Spring is just around the corner. About six weeks or so, I think! Can't wait! Love and hugs and happy weekend wishes! xoxo

  3. I do remember the days when we would use newspaper to line our waist baskets before plastic garbage bags came alone. It worked quite well. But now I no longer get the newspaper so I'll be sticking to the plastic liners. Although that is not so environmentally friend.y.

    1. My son in Canada says that all their groceries come in paper bags now. I wish they would do that over here. I miss paper grocery bags Pam! xoxo

  4. Hi Marie!

    Thank you for visiting my blog...it always makes me smile to see that you have visited!

    So many cute things to look at and look up! The little nesting dolls are very cute, my grands would have loved them when they were little.

    I can remember not having plastic garbage bags, we always used paper bags from the grocery store...because we didn't have plastic there either. The world is making changes that way and I am so glad they are. I need to be better about bringing my own bags. They still have paper but you have to ask for them.

    The roasted garlic looks delicious...I love garlic! I especially love it smeared on a good piece of French bread, yum!

    I hope all is going well for you, I know it's been a long week.
    I have thought about your sis all day, and pray that she is finding some peace...you are all in my continued prayers. XOXOX

    Much Love,
    Barb

    1. Thanks so much Barb. I have not been able to speak to my sister since she went to Ontario. She called my father yesterday and when I was talking to him he told me that she was enjoying seeing the other children and of course her two grands that she had not yet met, but it was still a very sad occasion for them all, understandably! I wish more grocery shops would move to paper bags here. So far most are plastic! Love and hugs, xoxo
