My Favorite Things . . .

 



Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . 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.  Let's share!   


 


Chimney smoke on a cold winter's day. It makes me think of warm kitchens and toes toasting by the fire.


 


Crisp, fresh, flaky, buttery croissants. The best ones are in France. I used to love to have one on the ferry on the way over. So good!


 

Homemade Caramels.  I had a missionary friend from Utah whose mother made the best caramels at Christmas.


 

Pretty Embroidery Scissors . . . so long as they are sharp.


 

Crisp ginger cookies  . . . 


 

The Scriptures  . . .  a true story of redemption.


 

Wooley wooley  . . . the best alarm clock.


 

Comfy, cozy  . . .  I could very easily just sink into that  . . . 


 

Winter jewels  . . . 


 


Friends for life  . . . 

 

Jars in flowery caps  . . . 


 


Candlesticks . . . Jack be nimble . . . Jack be quick . . . 



 

Snowy vistas . . .  such a pretty view.


 

A pretty bed skirt  . . . 


 

Wooden recipe boxes  . . . . 


 

A well dressed pancake  . . . 


 

Snowmen  . . . 


 

Snow capped  . . . 


 

Home Baked Beans  . . .  and bacon . . . 


 


Wooden drying racks   . . . 


 

The girls   . . . 


 

Maps and atlases  . . . Love them.


And those are my favorite things for this week. Mayhap some of them are yours also.


A thought to carry with you  . . .

Curried Spam Fried Rice 



In The Kitchen today . . . Curried Spam Fried Rice. Simply delicious. Truly.


I hope you have a lovely day today. It rained like the dickens yesterday. It is supposed to be clear today. Fingers crossed as I need to get out and go to the shops.  Whatever you get up to today, stay safe. Don't forget!
