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.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
