The rhythm of a home

 The conservatory


 As I walked to the market one day last weekend I ran into an old friend who happened to be having a small impromptu yard sale on the sidewalk in front of her house on State street. 
I’ve been thinking about a desk for a while and was waiting to stumble across just the right one. 
She had a chippy old table that was a great price so after finagling the price a bit
I carried it home. 

I thought my husband would say, “Oh no, Kara...not another chippy old table!”
But he didn’t! He liked it! 

I set it up in the conservatory
-which is the tiny room off the kitchen which we use for music, a library of sorts, an office, plants in the warmer months, and on the opposite side....laundry-


It is painted one of my very favourite aqua colours and at some point somebody painted a sweet little flowery vine with hearts all around the border.

    What a pretty little table! I love aqua too, and those flowers are so sweet. Thank you for sharing and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party Community. Take care and have a lovely week!

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.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ 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
