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.

DeleteHow I would love a farmhouse sink, mine is smaller than average. And nothing can beat the taste of a fresh homegrown tomato. Yum. They will be coming in the markets soon. Those fig bars look wonderful so now I'll check out your recipe. It's a lovely summer day here and I hope yours is the same. Have a beautiful day !
ReplyDeleteI have a small sink also Pam! It was rainy here yesterday off and on, but no complaints as we do need rain from time to time and we have really been spoiled with sunshine as of late! xixi
DeleteAbout half of these are among my favs too...thanks for sharing!! OH yes, loved the old pops...orange, grape, rootbeer by favs...heh, they had one of these machines in my dad's shop...so you can bet what we were always asking for...think it cost either 5 or 10 cents in those days!!

You could get a lot even for a penny back in the old days Elizabeth! We lived next to a motel and they had one in their lobby along with chocolate bars and potato chips you could buy. My sister, brother and I spent a lot of our allowance in that motel lobby! xoxo
DeleteI always love going through your favorite things because I like so many of the things you like. I did love those bottles of pop and orange was a favorite. Tomato sandwiches; yummy for sure. I loved the dress with pockets. All the decor, homes, and that cute kitten with the pink nose. Lavender fields; that a treat it would be to see. I truly just love all the photos today.
ReplyDeleteSending loving thoughts and hugs!
Thanks LeAnn! Love and hugs to you and Roger always. xoxo
