THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

2/4/2009

  I've been rifling through my freezer hoping to find the unexpected.  Hoping to find a surprise container of the best soup I have ever made.  Maybe a stew made from the tenderest beef cubes and my own garden vegetables in a red wine sauce.  But there were no unexpected surprises.  You see, I have a winter head-cold and I don't feel like cooking.  I have no appetite.  But my family does.  I did, however, feel like walking through my house, snapping photos of some of my favorite things...

  I have a beautiful, old cupboard from the late 1800's that a relative made.  It holds much of my French porcelain and glassware.

  I have collected many twig pieces over the years.  This basket is the only one I have ever found with red paint.

  My bakelite bangles were all purchased at estate sales.  I used to sleep in my car, waiting for the doors to open.  I don't do that anymore...

              Gluing dried beans onto Styrofoam balls can be therapeutic. 

  One of my kitchen walls is filled with old tinware.  I love the aged patina. 

  Wood and bone crochet hooks and an old German Tramp Art frame.

                                          From my mother and my aunt.

Hope you feel better soon! Wish I could serve you my husband's cure all...hot tea with lemon, honey & alot of bourbon in a very BIG cup. Love your blog - it's on my daily list of things to do over morning coffee.
