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.   


 


Kitchens that look vintage. Love the old stoves, the Formica countertops, etc. I could be happy in a kitchen like this.




All things cherry  . . . I adore cherry kitchenalia, linens, etc.




Holly Hobbie.  Have always loved Holly Hobbie.




Victorian houses, although I would not want to have to heat and maintain one! There are a few of these in town. I don't know how people can afford them, as pretty as they are to look at! 


 


White buttons  . . .  well any button really. I just love buttons.




Cherubs  . . . 



Vintage fashion plates  . . .  




The writings of Christina Rossetti . . . 




Vera Mouse  . . .  from the mind and brush of Marjolein Bastin . . .love her bees too.




Audrey Hepburn.  She had class. She was beautiful when she was young and when she was old.  




Wool fabric  . . .  would love a real wool blanket  . . .


 

So very pretty . . .  the satin bow, the embroidery, the buttons  . . . 


 


Breakfast trays  . . . 


 

Hammocks  . . .  


 


Clocks  . . .  I love to hear them ticking  . . . 


 

Hair in plaits  . . . 




Wooley sweaters . . . especially this time of year  . . . 




Vintage Barbara  . . .  loved Funny Girl  . . . 




Old plates  . . . mismatched  . . . 


 

Baskets and wild flowers  . . . 

 

Red squirrels  . . .  they're so cute. 


 

Bunting  . . . 


 

Slip covers   . . . 


And those are my favorite things for this week.  What are some of yours?

A thought to carry with you  . . .

  3. I made a Christmas wreath out of white buttons a few years ago, many of them came from my mom's button tin.
