My Favorite Things . . .

 

 

 

A few of the things which catch my eye, inspire me, pluck at my heart strings, make me smile, or that I just enjoy.  Maybe they will do the same for you.  

   

 

 

Light.  I love things, rooms etc. to be light and airy  . . .  I also love shadows and light and the beautiful way they play together . . . 

 

Book ends  . . .  they add such charm.  These are playing hide and seek . . . she's only on 98, 99, 100 . . . ready or not, here I come. 

 

Painted portraits  . . .  who were these people, what were their dreams  . . . everyone has a story to tell.  Ghosts from the past  . . . 

  

Macarons  . . . crisp little bites of heaven  . . .  I've only ever had them once, but have not forgotten. I have never made them. Never.  Too afraid I think. They demand perfection and I am not good at perfection  . . . 

 

Blowing bubbles  . . .  watching them dance in the air and float  . . .  big, small and tiny, tiny. The other day when I went to use dish soap, a bunch of little bubbles exploded from the container and floated in front of my eyes next to the sink. It was magical  . . .  

The kitkats like to play with bubbles. They are fascinated by them.

  

Shutters on windows  . . .  working ones. Ones you can pull shut at the end of the day.  This doesn't look real. It looks like a doll's house  . . . 

 

Yes please  . . . can you imagine a little tea party in a spot such as this?

  

Flower boxes  . . .  on balconies, windows, etc.  So beautiful . . . there were wonderful ones in Austria . . . 

 

Being a mother  . . . its Mother's Day this weekend. Happy Mother's day!

  

Yarn  . . .  I love to roll it into compact little balls . . .  its a mindless occupation that keeps the hands busy and they look so tidy when done. 

 

I bought a pillow pattern yesterday to help use up some of my yarn scraps.  I got it here.  I am in love with it. Love this girls patterns.  

I also bought a hot water bottle cover pattern.  Same seller.

I know this to be true  . . .  I love truth  . . . 

 

Piano music  . . .  I could listen to Paul Cardall for hours and hours and hours  . . . . Still wishing I could take piano lessons  . . . 

Love this  . . . 

  

Hollyhocks  . . .  they scream cottage garden  . . . 

 

This  . . .  fanciful thoughts  . . .  I love fanciful thoughts  . . . 

  

Pretty tea pots  . . .  not to mention pretty tea cups  . . . 

I love the simple things in life, and living a simple life . . . 

 

Round windows  . . . . 

  

Barbie  . . .  I always wanted one with a pony tail like my sister had  . . . 

 

Copper kettles  . . .  so long as I don't have to  be the one polishing them  . . . I had enough of copper polishing at the Manor . . . 

  

Yes  . . . . 

 

Wooden clothespins  . . . . 

  

Dunking biscuits  . . .  yes, I'm a dunker  . . . 

I have had enough  noise in my life. I am all for the quiet life now.  Bring it on!

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

In the kitchen today  . . .  Martha's Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing. I love this stuff!  Its another favorite thing! I could eat it with a spoon!

Off to have my tires done this morning. We could not find a bolt yesterday to replace the one which is missing on my winter tires.  I will probably end up having to buy a whole set.  Oh well, so be it. You have to do what you have to do!

Have a beautiful day!  Love and be loved and don't forget!
