https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOOPpfEd5Zsq2tbOc2-UBk6Njak8VrG7e7evggWXGZ2mh-j53ekFS5_iJ7oLR7meELGbGOHT1tpJoMRH-WDForIBx-F86puBU5K_uuGKf1hWiGc5Jko8kG6S71gFooUD3ZEZNrNzAWfJI/s320/alfp_favorite_things.png 


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.

In the English Kitchen today, Sheet Pan Beef and Broccoli for Two.   Perfectlyflavoured and sized for two, deliciously simple. No fuss, no muss. 

Have a wonderful Thursday.  Noted that a lot of places that relaxed their lock-downs are now tightening up again.  Too soon, things were let loose too soon. I think if we can figure out a way to live with this safely, for now that is the best we can do, and then perhaps in the future we can find a cure/vaccine, etc.  People are far too complacent and take too many risks I think.   Anyways, safe and healthy day to you all.  Don't forget  . . .

    1. No, FAKE kind sticks out a mile! You can see it right away. I hate insincerity. I know that door, sigh . . . I like silver now also. I guess perhaps silver goes better with older skin and hair? You have a nice day also! xoxo

  3. Lovely favourite things as usual, Marie. And yes, we must all be kinder, I think. That little pile of kittens and the little kitten reading, oh my. Love the puppy dog eyes, too. We're off to get a few groceries. I want to make ribs in the slow cooker and your roasted potato salad so must get provisions in for Saturday. Hugs and love, Elaine

  5. I so agree with you sweet friend on how they opened up too quickly. However, if they would all just do as asked and wear masks when you can't social distance and only meet in small groups; this could get better. I'm super worried about my grandchildren going back to school to soon. They are going to wear masks; but I think that's not going to be great, because kids don't obey much these days.
    Lots of fun items that I enjoy too. I love pearls, of course and old keys do have character. I loved all the decor photos. I think a white kitchen is the best and I loved the bedroom at the end of the post. I love rings too.
    All the kitten photos were adorable.
    I would say French blue is my favorite color.
    Of course, the dog photo is adorable. How we love our fur babies.
    How I wish the world was more kind. What happened to loving one another; it's horrible in the states.
    I often think it would be fun to have a home up in the forest or by a lake where there isn't a lot of people.
    Those little dolls area adorable.
    Thanks for sharing all the fun things.
    Blessings and hugs for you!

    1. Every country that opened up is having to shut down again LeAnn. I think we would be better to focus on how to live safely with the virus while we wait for a vaccine to be found. I see all of the predictions about the last days coming true. Scary but hoping that Christ will return soon. Love and hugs, xoxo
