My Favourite Things . . .

 

 

These are a few of my favourite things.  Maybe some of them are yours also!  A few of the things which catch my eye, inspire me, pluck at my heart strings, make me smile, intrigue me or that I just plain enjoy. I hope that they will do the same for you.   

 

 

Fruit.  I love eating fruit, raw or cooked.I have never met a fruit I didn't really like, although in all fairness I very seldom eat a raw banana out of hand.  I prefer it raw and sliced onto cereal, or baked into yummy banana bread.  My favourite fruit has to be ripe pears, followed closely by ripe white nectarines. 

 

Painted wooden furniture, especially when the colours are  mixed together, like here with the white and the pale green.  I also love the painted wood panel walls, wooden counter top and pendant lighting.

  

This strikes all my chords!  Laura Ashley of course. 

 

I really, really, REALLY love this dress. 

  

I also really, really like this ring.  I like to wear dainty rings . . .  not huge rocks. 

 

Vintage enamel ware.  And those tiles  . . . 

  

A collection of Bird Houses  . . .  

 

Black baby dolls  . . .  when I was a little girl, I wanted one more than anything, but never ever did get one.  

   

Easter Trees . . .

This plate  . . .  love in so many ways  . . .  

And those are my favourite things for this week.

Have I told you about my problems on facebook? No? Well, about a week ago I started getting notifications that they were removing my recipe posts because they were considered spam and in contradiction with their community terms.  I have asked for a review of course, but I don't understand it.   People share recipe posts with me all the time, no problem.  I feel like someone has singled me out for some reason and is complaining.  It just doesn't make sense that they would start deleting my recipe posts unless someone personally called attention to them.  Otherwise wouldn't they be removing all of the recipe posts on there?  It has me flummoxed.  Why???

Anyways, not much I can do about it. I added my son as an admin on my page so he can keep an eye on it.  He is flummoxed also.  Why would anyone want to do this to me???

A thought to carry with you  . . .

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Blueberry, Lemon & Almond Loaf.  An Ottolenghi recipe and delicious. 

Have a wonderful Thursday.  We have decided to self-isolate now, just to be on the safe side.  We did pop to Costco yesterday and they were sanitizing all of the carts before you used them and just taking extra cautionary steps in general for the well-being of people. I was impressed.  I have never seen Costco so busy and so much loo roll being carted around. Seriously.   It was crazy.  In any case, do have a lovely, lovely day.  Stay safe and don't forget!
