Good morning friends! I hope that you have had a good week, I am a little tired, I have a “lot of irons in the fire” as they say and haven’t gotten much sleep this week, but it is all good and I am very excited. It is going to rain again this weekend so I will be able to stay inside and catch up on a few things. What are your plans?

I hope you enjoy my finds this week and invite you to share all of the things that you found interesting. 

Food

Three Cheese White Pizza from Modern Honey

I cannot wait to make this Chicken Picatafrom Food.com. 

Vegetarian Cheesy Cauliflower Chicken from Aberdeen Kitchen are a great meal for “meatless Monday.”

Mini blueberry Galettes from Completely Delicious are easy and “healthy” because they are filled with fruit. 

Dulce de Leche Marshmallow Fluff Brownies are perfect if you want a little chocolate, and a little caramel!

Books

Katie Ridder Rooms, if you are a fan of designer Katie Ridder you will love this book, each room is filled with beautiful details and the book features rooms from Katie’s own home as well. 

Windfall

Alice has never believed in luck, but that doesn’t stop her from rooting for love. After pining for her best friend Teddy for years, she jokingly gifts him a lottery ticket—attached to a note professing her love—on his birthday. Then, the unthinkable happens: he actually wins. 


One Thousand Gifts

In One Thousand Gifts, Ann invites you to discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of living that is fully alive, and a way of becoming present to God that brings you deep and lasting joy. It’s only in the expression of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we’ve always wanted . . . a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. We come to feel and know the impossible right down in our bones: we are wildly loved – by God.

I LOVE, LOVE, love Gregorian Chants and Early Music  so I am looking forward to reading O Sing Unto the Lord, 

 For as long as people have worshipped together, music has played a key role in church life. With O Sing unto the Lord, Andrew Gant offers a fascinating history of English church music, from the Latin chant of late antiquity to the great proliferation of styles seen in contemporary repertoires.

Finds

Has anyone purchased anything from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? I did buy one thing but most everything else I wanted is already sold out. I will not be sharing anything from the sale because I am sure that you have seen it from every other blog out there. I did find a few other cute things this week. 

I love this footed bowl, it is perfect for an arrangement, food, decor and more. 

I can’t resist this acorn candle holder.

Or these pinecone bookends!

That is it for this week my friends, I hope that you have a wonderful weekend. Be safe!

Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank y Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank you my friends for all of your kind messages, thoughts and prayers.

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
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
