My Favorite Things . . .

 

  


A few of the things in life that make my heart go pitter pat. Maybe they will do the same thing for yours. ♥♥♥    I'm pretty sure however, that these things mainly make my own heart sing.   


The new Royal portraits of the Duchesse of Cambridge.  Nothing short of stunning.  I have the utmost respect for this woman.  She has always held herself with dignity and grace.

I have had a lot of something smalls over these past months. And I am grateful for each and every one of them. 

 


Dove soap. Its pretty much the only kind I use for the most part. 


 

Chickadee's. They are the sweetest birds  . . . 




RR mailboxes.  When I lived in NB, I had tole painted mine with sunflowers all over it.  


 

Old writing desks  . . . 


 


Breakfast nooks  . . . 

 


My grandmother used to sing this song to me and I sang it to my own children  . . . 


 

Sewing boxes  . . . 


 

Outdoor markets  . . .  they have beautiful ones in France and Germany. 


 

Old kitchen dressers  . . . 


 

Surprises  . . .  like this  . . .


 

 

I had this plant in my garden in the UK, but for the life of me the name of it escapes me this morning. The Bees loved it. 


 

Wings  . . .  I'd like a pair  . . . 


 

 Tulips  . . .  pink are my favorites  . . . 


 

Colour  . . . I love colour  . . . 


And those are my favorite things for this week.  I hope some of them were some of yours as well.


Cinnamon is doing really well this morning. I am ever so pleased. She perked right up yesterday.  She was not as tired as the day before and is eating and drinking well.  Oh how I love those two little furry babies of mine.  Cindy and Dan came for supper last night. I treated us all to a takeaway which was nice.  Dan had his usual burger (he is predictable that way) and Cindy had her haddie bits and I had fish and chips. (Talk about predictable!)  It was nice to have them here.  I do love my family so very much.

I am going out today to do some banking and get in a few bits before the storm which we are supposed to get tomorrow, water, etc. That is January for you. A series of storms.


A thought to carry with you  . . .

  1. So happy Cinnamon is feeling better. She probably wasn't over the anesthetic yesterday. And Marie, you do have wings, you just can't see them but they are there. Sounds like a nice dinner with Cindy and Dan. Stay safe when you're out and about. Hope the storm isn't too bad. Love and hugs, Elaine
