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!


 


Snow drops. We are a long ways from seeing them here.  But they are a beautiful harbinger of Spring in the offing  . . .


 

The Song of the Blackbird . . . so pretty.


 

Knitted shawls  . . . 


 


As a child I loved riding my bicycle.  I felt like I was almost flying.


 


Fresh cinnamon buns  . . . 


 


Moonlit shadows on snow  . . . 


 

Tenacity  . . . 


 

Beauty tucked away in unlikely spaces  . . . 


 

Cranford  . . .  I loved the series  . . . 


 

Lacy hearts  . . . . 


 

White linens  . . . 


 

A handknit sweater  . . . 


 

Cottage charm  . . . 


 

Lamp light  . . . 


 


A pretty blouse  . . . 


 

Things that sparkle  . . . 


 

English Cockers  . . . 


 


Brownie bites . . .  little bites of heaven . . . 


 

The wonders of nature . . . 


 

Fresh lemons  . . . lemon anything  . . . 


 

Cats  . . . such unique personalities  . . . 


 

Kitchen windows  . . . 


And those are my favorite things for this week  . . . 


A thought to carry with you  . . .

  5. Lots of lovelies here...don't know how a blackbird sings, but reminded me of the awesome melodies a mockingbird that lived near one house we lived in...sang and sang and sang. My husband would whistle to him and then he would sing back, usually changing his song a bit as he went. Remarkable bird! Used to live near a mall that had a Cinnabon place there...ah, so decadent!! Homemade glutenfree ones are relished too...one grandchild insists I must make them whenever they come to visit. But it takes hours to do that...hours!! Glad you got to go out to eat...hope the recovery continues for you!!
    Hugs, Elizabeth xoxo
