Heirloom tomatoes enjoyed fresh on sourdough with butter. Lebanese zuchinni's too bulbous to make
Kousa Mahshi. Disappointing. Must speak to my "live in" gardener about that. Nevertheless, waste not want not. To the morning omelete you must go.
Painting old frames ready for snaps taken from my new DSLR canon. Happy 10th Anniversary says he to me.
An uplifting surprise win (after a glum few weeks) from one of my favourite
reads.
A great collection of books found at the tip shop.
Washing vintage linen on a sunny day. Thinking of sewing projects such as repurposing in to
this or
this.
Preparations in Autumn...looks like we will be spending another winter in this draughty house.
How is your daily life?
Love your wood pile...the weather is starting to change now that's for sure! We'll be spending another winter in our drafty house too, but unfortunately we only have split systems to heat it which means a HUGE electricity bill. Oh well...hopefully next winter we'll be in the new place!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristie, it costs us a fortune to heat this house too. Oil heaters in bedrooms and although I have the clothes airer in the front of the fireplace everynight I still have to use the dryer. Such is life in the mountains in an old draughty house. It's nice to relate. I'm excited for you; hope you are in your new home soon.
DeleteLove your daily life. Also love kousa mahshi if you ever get non bulbous zuchs! That and cabbage rolls my fave :)
ReplyDeleteVery creative ideas for up cycling :)
It certainly would be neighbourly to do so. Yes, that little shopping bag would be a nice gift for a dear friend.
DeleteHi Zena, we have a draughty house as well as it was old when bought over 35 years ago. Our wood stove in the kitchen died a while back and I miss it. I would love a log fire in winter. I had a laugh when I clicked on one of your links and it took me to my blog. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell, you are inspiring Nanna Chel. Here I am thinking I'm the only one stuck in a draughty house.
DeleteGlad you liked the package Zena. I'm sipping some of the tea as I type now.
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy 10th Anniversary! That's a wonderful gift to give, how are you liking it so far?
Still working it out as it came with no manual and I am use to pre-digital manual cameras.
DeleteThose vintage pillow slips are absolutely gorgeous. Pillow slips are one of my fav materials to sew with. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, Tricia.
DeleteBeautiful! I especially love the vintage linens and the firewood. (Perhaps the firewood part seems odd, but really, I do love both fabric and firewood…)
