Parental Guidance, Vintage Finds, Cinnamon Rolls & More

January 21, 2013 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

Good morning! Did you enjoy your weekend? Mine was so relaxing that I did not want it to end. 

Detail of a painting I purchased this weekend.

I was visiting with my mother, sister and niece this weekend and we did all of our favorite things and more. Baking, eating, reading, sipping cocoa by the fire, watching movies and more. 

Friday night we went to the movies, which I have not done in donkeys years. I typically like to watch movies at home as I like to read magazines and books while watching the movie. Doesn’t everyone like to multi-task while relaxing and watching a movie?

As there is not a large selection of family friendly movies we settled on Parental Guidance, which I am happy to say we enjoyed. Although, I have since read many bad reviews I thought the movie was entertaining.

Have you seen it? Let me ask you did it look as if Billy Crystal and Bette Midler had some work done to preserve their youth? I have not seen either of them for some time and they look very different.

Aside from the movie, we baked more Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls, played games, and of course went in search of a few antiques. Although I tried to restrain myself I did come home with a few treasures, sadly some brown transferware for my collection was not one of the items. 

Vintage finds 

Tell me, what did you do this weekend? Do you have some movies, books or recipes to share? As you know I am fond of soup and desserts so please share your recipes and links.

Detail from another painting I found.

I hope you have a wonderful week!

    Good Morning Elizabeth, You sound like you had a fun filled weekend.
    Parental Guidance has been advertised here, I thought it looked fun, so we might go to the cinema to see the film. This week we are going to see The Quartet with Maggie Smith.
    We did very little this weekend as we have been snowed-in….but it gave me the opportunity to cook, sew and relax…..my favourite things.
    I love your blue and white dishes…..just up my street.
    Have a lovely day,
    Best Wishes
    Daphne

    GOOD MORNING! I love Bette Midler and Billy Crystal and if they did any work on themselves, I wish they would not have. I wish people would just let themselves trust in their souls to shine through the love and talent that they possess.

    What a GREAT FIND IN THAT PAINTING! The colors and style is what I love and would hang in a heartbeat in my home!

    It is flippin' cold here this week. Well below zero and NO SNOW to insulate! So hot tea it is for me!

    Much love my dear, Anita

    Sounds like a perfect weekend to me! Yes saw it along with three others, a virtual record for me!
    I thought it was a mix of silly, corny but fun. I thought Billy and Bette were a hoot and I got a kick out of them. There were parts that seemed really flat but they made the movie. On another movie note, a movie you will LOVE, I know it if you haven't' seen it….The well diggers daughter. Its French and really one of the best movies i have seen in a long long time. Highly recommend it! I am NOT making those cinnabons because literally I will DEVOUR the entire pan…no will power!

    Hello Elizabeth
    Your painting looks very interesting and I love the colours and texture.

    Your weekend sounded perfect. I saw Billy Crystal recently on TV and did not recognize him but his voice sounded familiar

Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
