Grateful and Getting On with a Very Different August

Good morning friends! Before I get to this week's party, I would like to personally thank each and every one of you so much for your kind and comforting words of support and prayers for my family's loss. Your comments were soothing to my soul in a very difficult time. Thank you seems inadedequate. 

Goodbye May..Hello June!

Good morning friends! Thank you so much for being here every week and sharing all your creative posts, recipes, crafts, and DIYs!! Can you believe June is just four days away! 

I'm still here, happy and healthy, and baking away! At least my friends and family are happy and I get to do something I love and learn new recipes and techniques. Win-Win! 

Thank you for your wonderful comments, I apologize if I didn't respond to them all, but I read and smiled about every single one.

On the menu this morning at my house, Croissants! 

Welcome to this week's Thursday Favorite Things!

I've No Excuse! The Days Blurred Together

Happy Thursday Favorite Things Friends!! 

It IS Thursday, right?! I'm so sorry my week is a bit off. Just trying to catch up with the days! I think I should be hosting a party called Forgetful Friday! LOL

I have been pinning your wonderful links and do so appreciate you all, but I did also fall asleep and think today was Wednesday! 

Thursday Favorite Things From A SIP Blogger

My friends, I must offer you my sincerest apologies. With all that has been going on...COVID-19, and, now, us Shelter In Place (SIP) I completely missed the Party time. That is not to say I forgot you! I have still been pinning through the week and will have my Features up, I hope within the next couple hours, but I am truly sorry to be behind.  I hope you understand and will link up now and come back later today or tomorrow to see if you were featured. 

Please stay safe, friends!

Spring Blooms Everywhere!

Hey friends, Good morning and Happy TFT to you!
I pray this finds you and your families safe and sound and free of any epidemics!
Not much else in the news, these days, is there? I know several of you, like me, are compromised for one reason or another. So, I pray you are taking every precaution.

Good morning, friends. Happy February! 

I just lost January! I swear I have no idea how January slipped by me so fast! Do You ever feel that way?! 

Thank you all for the well wishes. I believe, and I am finding wood to knock on, that I am finally over the sicknesses that stole my month and energy. 

Mixing It Up at This Week's TFT Party!

Hi, friends Welcome back! Boy, the weather has been all over the place around here! Historic snow, to open your windows, a taste of Spring, and back to close everything up because the rain and thunder and lightning storm has begun!! I LOVE every single minute of it. You may, or may not, remember, but I do a lot of countdowns to Fall/Autumn and Christmas. I just love the cooler, cozier months, curled up inside with a good book, project or recipe! I love it! It may just be because I live in Northern California, I truly do sympathize with all my dear friends in the Midwest and on the Eastern Coast that have had severe Winters, I hope you are finding cozy ways to enjoy your Winter, and I'm sure if I was you, I'd be anxiously awaiting Spring and Summer. :) 

On with this week's Features! By the way, if you missed last week's Features, I did a separate post of them to make up for my being, ahem, a little behind. See if you were one of them here, Thursdays Favorite Things...The Features

Laura from Decore to Ador's A Little House on the Prairie Birthday party was beyond belief. I'm just in awe. Happy Birthday Laura Ingalls Wilder!!

A Little Bit of This and Whole Lot That (TFT Party)

Good morning and welcome to this week's TFT party!  no theme this week, just a lot of talent and beautiful Features to share with you. There were so many, I scarcely knew where to begin! It warmed up a bit today here, after a record-breaking, once in 11 years, snow!!  that got me in the Spring mode and I baked up a batch of my Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice Muffins-Springtime in a Muffin! If you're needed a little taste of Spring you may want to pop over and get a taste of these.

I think Pam from Everyday Living is feeling the pull for Spring as well with her absolutely beautiful Toile Pink & Roses pst. POP over, she has so much more beauty to see, it was difficult to pick just one image to share with you!

How To Stay Cozy During This Cold Snap (TFT Party)

Hi dear friends, welcome back to the Thursday Favorite Things party. If you are one of those stuck in the below freezing, below zero, blizzard areas of the U.S. you have my deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers for warmer weather ahead. I, honestly, cannot even imagine. However, I do love to get Cozy on these winter days, whatever the climate. There were definitely some wonderful ways to warm up, hunker down, or just warm the heart, which is the best way of all, right?

So, then, onto my Features for this week.

Michelle from Thistle Key Lane's How To Create a Cozy Winter Bedroom was just exactly on point and so beautifully done, I had to share to of her Cozy room! Don't you just love quilts and trays?! My go-to's for cold weather, as well.

(look at the beautiful flowers, bringing the promise of spring on dresser...ahh)
