My Favorite Things . . .

 

These are some of the things in life that I enjoy and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Lets share! 



    This. I remind myself of this every morning.  I thank God every morning when I open my eyes. Thank you Lord, for giving me a new day to make my mark upon. Each day is a gift that will never come again.



Autumn colors. I love this time of year.  It is so beautiful.


 


Old tea kettles . . .  especially if they are filled with blooms  . . . 




I love these stories.  They were my favorites when I was a child. I even had a small record which has the story of Flopsy's tail on it.




Stationary, especially pretty stationary  . . . 




 

Pockets. I like to have a pocket if I can.


 


Windows with a pretty view  . . . 

 
 

Flowers.  I love flowers.


 


Cake.  Chocolate is not my absolute favorite. I prefer a Victorian Sponge, but then again I will not turn down a piece of chocolate cake if offered.  I just love cake.


 

Tree Houses.  I always wanted to live in a tree house.  Ever since I saw Disney's Swiss Family Robinson as a child.



Pretty Tea Cups.  Just love them.


 

Foxes . . . 




Pretty lanterns . . . 


 


Autumn fruits and vegetables  . . .  especially squash and parsnips  . . . 


 

Blueberry Bakes . . . 


 

Antique desks  . . . 

 

Pretty dresses  . . . 


 


Pretty door knobs . . . 



 

 
Books, Book shops, Libraries  . . . 


 

Barns  . . .  I love barns . . . 


And those are my favorite things for this week. Maybe some of them were yours too!


A thought to carry with you  . . .

Classic Gingerbread Loaf Cake


In The English Kitchen today, another favorite thing. A Classic Gingerbread Loaf Cake. You can never have too many gingerbread recipes in my opinion!!


I won't be here tomorrow as Cindy and I are going on our road trip! Wish us luck!  I hope that you have a most beautiful day and that you are blessed.  Love and hugs to you all! Don't forget!

  3. My most favourite gingerbread recipe is your ‘Worlds best gingerbread’
    In your opinion which is your most favourite recipe out all of your gingerbread recipes.
    I’m asking because I’ve been tempted to try another one of your gingerbread recipes but I’m hesitating simply because I love the aforementioned one.
    Thanks Marie 😄

    1. OHHH, that's a hard question Faye, because I love them all. But if I had to pick only one of all of them, I would pick this one: https://www.theenglishkitchen.co/2020/01/deep-dark-delicious-gingerbread.html

      Let me know what you think! xoxo

Your comments mean the world to me, and while I may not be able to address each one individually, each one is important to me and each one counts. Thanks so much!
