Last Week in Review!

What a week it was, I think it would be easier to wrap everything up about the past week and few days, by using photos, at least the ones I can get my hands on as all the others were in the miserable hard drive that is now stuck somewhere in computer land.


:::BOUGHT

I sit patiently waiting, constantly checking the mailbox until I can bet my hands on this beauty. I'll share it all with you when I get it, though it may be a day or two while I devour everything inside.


:::LOVED

Spending time at the library, going through all the new books available and the hundreds and hundreds of older ones sitting on the shelves. There is something so relaxing about it.


:::CHANGED

Removed some of the photos off the wall and added new ones, also added the new Easter Garland.


:::WATCHED

The 3 disc series from BBC "Lilies". Tough, sexy, funny and heartbreaking, Lilies details the lives of Iris, May and Ruby Moss – sisters coming of age in a dockland terrace house. Familial love sustains them, and their fortunes are bound to those of their brother and their father.

Set in the years immediately following the First World War, Lilies pulls no punches in its storytelling.
It depicts a sensual, vivid and sometimes savage world, where life is lived on the breadline, yet fuelled by various kinds of love. All three girls must make their own way in the world.


:::STARTED

These adorable crochet cupcakes. I'm planning on making 6 in total to sit on this cake plate as a decoration for my kitchen. Inside I've tucked some Lavender scent, my favorite. I also have some patterns for a cake, cake slice, cookies etc...I plan on trying those out too.


:::FOUND

A bunch of small cookbooks on Amazon...recipes from all places like Lancashire, Scotland, Ireland, Around the Shires, Herefordshire and the Welsh Marshes, Isle of Wight and a few others. I can NOT wait to get them in the mail, they combine some of the things I love...cooking and England.


:::DECIDED

What activities we're doing this summer, signing up kids for swimming lessons and the library reading program, plus a few other day trips.


I leave you with a photo of my newest cupcake with sprinkles and all. I love them...and apparently so do my kids who I've found holding the cupcakes and pretending to eat them, they've even asked me to make them some to play with.
