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.    

I cannot believe that we are here at the end of January, this is my last favorite things! How did that happen?

Beautiful necklines and that little black dress.  Its been a very long time since I have been able to pull off either look, but that doesn't stop me from admiring the look from afar  . . .

The British Robin. It has to be one of the cutest birds.  I used to love seeing them visit in my garden when I lived in the UK. About the size of a small finch, they were pure delight.

Dishes that are a bit out of the ordinary. I love these stoneware sipping bowls with their almost polka dots and worn looking edges . . .

I love this  . . .  when I think of all the paper punches, rubber stamps, etc. that I had left behind in the UK.  Oh well, this would probably drive the cats nuts, but I do love it.

Red nail varnish, although you do have to feel and be very confident in yourself to wear it  . . .

Windmills. Ever since I saw Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates on Disney as a child, they have fascinated me.

Crinolines. They might have felt itchy but when I was a little girl it felt like I was a princess when I got to wear one. My mother had a 1950's cupcake dress. Powder blue in color. She looked so beautiful in it.

there is a deep lesson concealed within it,

although you may not see it at the time.
