My Favourite Things . . .

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 your favourites too. It is a good to take your mind off things that are bringing you down and to dwell on the good more often than not. You can admire without wanting. What can I say, I like to look at pretty things!   



Lacy bras.  They are just so pretty. 


The London embankment.  I have never seen it in snow before.  Beautiful. 


The elegance of Audrey Hepburn . . . 


Pretty paper  . . .  so beautiful . . . 


Pink coats  . . .  pink anything really  . . . 


Four poster beds  . . . 


This  . . . 


Messy buns  . . . 


I have a long standing love affair with ribbon of any kind  . . . 


Same with donuts  . . .  in fact I dreamt about donuts last night. 
 

Oh to have a waistline  . . . 


Beautifully flowery dresses  . . . 


Blue jeans although I have not been able to wear a pair in years  . . . 


Spaniel puppies  . . . .  so adorable  . . . 


Shoes with bows  . . . . 


Italian Gelato  . . . 


Books with pretty bindings  . . . 


Anything with bees  . . . 


Fruity tea pots  . . . . 


Toadstool soup bowls  . . . 


Sigh  . . .  I want me a rolling pin like that  . . . 


Russian bee postal stamp  . . .  


I have a ring thing  . . . . 


Belly snuffles  . . . . 



Fruit, cereal and yogurt  . . . 

And those are my favourite things for this week. Maybe some of them were yours too . . . 


Happy Birthday to my special girl today. Eileen. Its hard to believe she is 43! How did that happen. When I was a little girl I dreamt of having a little girl of my own on day with blonde hair and brown eyes.  I was going to call her Honey. I had the girl with the blonde hair and the brown eyes, but I did not get to call her Honey. Nevermind, she will always be my special Honey.  Love her to pieces.  I hope she has the perfect day! 
 
My friend Warren came through his by-pass operation safely.  Please pray for his continued improvement and healing.  Thank you!

A thought to carry with you  . . .

I want to have a little house
with sunslight on the floor,
a chimney with a rosy hearth,
and lilac by the door.

I am sharing a delicious Amish Chicken & Stuffing Casserole in The English Kitchen today.  Quite simply delicious. 

I wish for you a beautiful day, hopefully filled with some of your favourite things.  Don't forget!

  6. I loved looking through your favorite things today. It was a break from trying to keep track of my husband. He is a terrible patient.
    I do love Audrey Hepburn. The photo of the snow in England was lovely. I like snow and we haven't had much. However, I don't like it for a long time.
    I really like the pink coat. I would love one of those.
    I wish I had long hair to do fun things with.
    Glazed donuts are my husbands favorite and I like Chocolate, of course.
    I fun to be able to fit in those gray pants and the Levi's of course.
    I love the puppies! I do love books and those were lovely. The photos with bees were fun.
    Your Eileen is adorable and I am so happy that you can be near her. Happy Birthday to her!
    Sending happy thoughts and hugs!
