A Chick Trying To Keep Toasty!

bleh!

i know i say it over and over but with snow coming our way mid week... i do not like winter... bleh! if it snows a lot they'll call a "snow day" and I won't have to go in to work since I work in a high school health room = that's cool.

 i just saw a whole slew of baby chicks and ducks at a farm store this weekend and they were so sweet! all yellow and fluffy, peeping like mad. clustered together with children looking in the pens so enthralled at these babies. so was i.

they were much sweeter than these pictures!

then i've been looking for different ideas for a friend of mine for things to make with peeps...

i don't eat anything marshmallow...

but i thought this was very cool!

i'll be in the hospital/rehab during Easter break but i can do without the candy anyway.

and the true meaning of Easter is what it's all about for me. you might not see very many posts for a while...but i'll be thinking good thoughts. hugs, jennifer

Where do you find your favorite things?

I have had every pattern and color china under the sun. Loved them all. Blue willow, red transferware, fruit, flowers, spring, Christmas. I've mentioned many a time that I am decluttering and simplfying my style.

I do have seaglass, shells, apothcary jars, photo of family, friends and images of things I love. Colllections of feathers, favorite books.

But ever so slowly, when I'm out and about I find myself adding a piece or two to my collection of white serving pieces. Weeks go by and I won't see a thing. Then I'll be in Home Goods and there it is! A cool plate or a little bowl.

Asian grocery stores often have unique items. I use these white spoons to serve h'orderves!

Soup too, of course. I mix, I match, I add, I gift.

These spoons are great to tie on a jar of jelly, jam or salsa as a gift.

Pier 1 has a new line of serving sets for sampling.

 They also sell individual mini dishes and bowls in white and clear glass.

Prices begin as low as $1.00.

These are great for individual sauces, varied salsas, and more.

So whether it be white ...

or glass...

or a container...

decorate with...

glee!
