My Favorite Things . . .

 



A few of the things that make me smile, bring happiness and joy, and make my heart go pitter pat. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say its worth a thousand smiles.




 

When the kids were growing up I used to have a larder just like this. Filled with lots of jars of home canned produce, jams, pickles.  Those were the days . . . 




The art of Ronald George Lampitt.  He was an artist from Sidcup in Kent in the UK.




Cinnamon rolls . . .  but that tea pot is calling  my name! Its so cute!


 


That shawl and those pintucks in that dress.  Love, love.


 


What a bright and busy kitchen!


 

Pretty tiles. All go together and yet no two are the same. 


 

Some more art I like, by Annie Ovenden.  Murmuration . . . 


 

Geraniums  . . . 


 

Colorful buttons  . . . 


 

Wooden Drying Racks  . . . 


 

Peppers  . . . . 


 

So pretty  . . .  it reminds me of a coffee table I once tole-painted  . . . 


 

Sewing supplies  . . . 


 

Hand knit sweaters  . . . 


 

Its a bee pillow!!! Love!


 

An embroidered watch face  . . . 


 

More art I love  . . . 


 

Hand crocheted doilies  . . . 


 


Love the colors  . . . 


 

Attic bedrooms  . . . 


 


A pot of stew  . . .  love me some stew.


 


Soon  . . . . 


And with that I will leave you with a thought for today  . . .

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Chicken Tender Nachos.  Low carb. Simple to make. Delicious.


Dad's eyes are a.o.k.  We were very pleased to find that out. We had been concerned as you know. We had a lovely supper out last night as well. He always sings to the waitress.  The waitresses all love him. My dad is pretty likeable I think! Love him to pieces.

I hope that you have a lovely day today! The sun is shining here and it is supposed to get quite warm. -11 yesterday +11 today.  There is no rhyme or reason.   Whatever you get up to today, stay safe and warm and don't forget!

    1. I think if we knew half of what went into what we ate we would be horrified Elizabeth! No wonder we have so many ailments! xoxo
