Where did the week go?
I absolutely can not believe it's Friday already. I've been sick in bed with the respiratory flu. It's interesting what happens in the household when mom's out of commission. Let's just say I'll have my work cut out for me, once I'm up and running again.
Although, I did get to read quite a bit..
I really enjoyed both Alice Hoffman's new book, The Red Garden, and Jacqueline Winspear's latest Maisie Dobbs adventure, A Lesson In Secrets.
I thought maybe you might like a peek at some recent vintage finds. How sweet is that set of dolly clothes pins? Maggie and I stopped by the vintage market last week, she spotted it and knew I'd love it. She's right.
A stack of vintage bluebird embroidered 'days of the week' dish towels and a vintage jadeite bowl also came home with us. I think the bowl might belong to a vintage mixer. Although it's quite small, it has a ridge on the bottom that must serve some mysterious purpose...
Do tell, if you know.
Thank you for all of your reports on your local 'Spring' weather conditions.
I'm hoping the sun comes out here today.
At least it isn't snowing. I take that back, it IS snowing. Sigh.
Have the loveliest of weekends, my friends.

I am sure it is. I have an old stand mixer of my husband's grandmother's and it has and identical bowl in white. Mine is an old Sunbeam. The green is lovely though.
when my boys (of all sizes) get home and I'm STILL sitting here (where I've been sitting all day 'being inspired'!)...with no tea a cooking... and no housework been done, I'm going to blame you and your blog hoppin'.
just so you know!!!
sun still shining here in manchester...it's a bloomin' miracle

Oh, such wonderful and pretty treasures. I would've nabbed those as well. Praying for a speedy recovery for you! Blessings!
Lovely post! The pegs are the cutest ever! The dish towels are beautiful and I have the biggest ever soft spot for jadite. It's such a pain that you just cannot get it over here in the UK....boo hoo!
Hope you are feeling on the mend.

Have a delicious day!
Your sweet vintage dishtowels drew me in! I love the nostalgia of these. I'm visiting from My Romantic Home. Glad I found your cheery blog!
So much cheerfulness every time I visit you, miss Mollie. The dolly clothes pins are irresistible just like the days of the week dish towels. I am imagining using one lovely each day, does it have the name of the week embroidered on it?
Hope you will feel better soon, my friend xxxx
I hope you feel better soon. Yes when Mommy is sick, the house gets turned upside down!
Love all of your finds, especially those towels. It looks like there are bluebirds on every single one. Oh my, how sweet!
The dish towels are so cute!!!
Feel better soon!!

Hope you are feeling better very soon! I absolutely adore the bluebird embroidered dish towels you found!! LOVE! I had not heard of that Maisie Dobbs book before, but now I am intrigued in the whole series. I think the LIbrary and I have a date this weekend.
