White Wednesday As My Mind Wanders

i'm in a bouncing around... la de da - up in the air ...

mood

i love little girls shoes those adorable socks!

there is this warm, oohy feeling I get watching a man I love shaving

perky white collars, my Mom was a good one for

buying them for me - she ironed like a champ.

white blossoms... especially lilly of the valley, snowball bushes and roses.

soft baby clothes, I am a sucker for miniature clothes...aren't baby clothes so sweet?

music... gentle, upbeat, dancing, soothing

Motown, Alicia Keys, Aretha, Frank Sinatra,

John Mayer, Reggae, Classical.

do you believe we live in a magical world?

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!

6 pitas
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions:

White Wednesday....From a different point of view!

Flowers in the window box,
cat upon the sill,
sun shining in the sky
to do with as you will...

Spring brings hope and flowers too
to brighten any day
to show us we are not forgot
and cherished in a way.

Love is blind but oh so fine
it happens now and then,
when our time is spent and shared
between a special friend.

The birds they sit high in a tree
while you may listen to their song,
with spring you feast your eyes upon...
how can that be wrong?













Flowers in the window box,
cat upon the sill
sun shining in the sky
your day yet to fulfill.

      we all have our views....
