Do you have any idea what this is?? It's the slanting cover that has me puzzled. I have absolutely no idea what it is but it was going for a pretty penny as a vintage piece on a UK tea site.
I guess some parts of us simply do not change as we age. I remember when we moved to Richmond Hill, all three kids got to choose the paint color for their rooms. Laura chose blue, Tania went with pink and my selection was green. I saw this yesterday and I felt from the tips of my toes a strong desire to jump in and make myself at home. Weird how a color can do that. Yet, not a single room in my house is decorated in green.
As I read my Facebook blog post Christmas, there are sure a lot of reflective and celebratory entries with the coming new year. I saw this picture and thought I would share it. I think we all need a reminder, every once in a while, that we are truly special and very valued:
I follow a feed called "A Room With A View" on Facebook and I see awesome photos from all over the world in that feed. Some of them make me wish I was there. Want to join me for lunch here?
But if the view isn't enough to entice you into joining me...here's what we are having for lunch:
