Family Friday


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


I stumbled across the perfect duvet over the weekend.

Our bedroom gets quite hot so we needed something that's not too heavy.





I have put away all the Christmas and left the dining room

plain and simple.

In the early morning the market was quiet and unhurried

I happened upon some beautiful roses that were marked down for quick sale

They look lovely on the bureau with my grandmother's glassware.


My sister was here over the weekend.

She wanted to see sweet Abigail Rose.

We all had dinner together at my mum's house with my brother and his fiance

and Sadie as well.

Sadie used to be Holly's dog but she gave her to my brother and his fiance

when she had to move.


While I was in the line at Marshall's I saw this wonderful unicorn mug.

I really don't need another mug but I bought it anyway.

It makes me think of spring...and hippies.


Sweet little Abigail Rose was one month old on Thursday!

    I have a weakness for mugs. I have a lot, but can't resist buying more when I see ones i love. I would buy this unicorn one for sure! Your home is so lovely! I like everything about it. I think an uncluttered life is good for the soul.

    This is such a nice list of favorites for the week. It's nice to have the house less cluttered after the holiday, isn't it?

    So great that your whole family can enjoy the sweet baby girl! They change so fast! And with a big storm headed this way, maybe I'll try to think of spring and hippies, too!

    Abigail Rose is adorable! She is obviously thriving on all that family attention :)
    I love a simple and plain decor. Those roses add just the right amount of 'bling'.
    Happy Weekend to you!

    That is the cutest unicorn cup. I'm really into unicorns lately, maybe because I have granddaughters now. Hello Abigail Rose. You are precious. So nice that you got together with family recently.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
