Vintage Mondays: Pink Pyrex baking dish


Found this great little pink Pyrex baking dish along with a matching loaf pan at an estate sale a few weeks ago.  Tried out a delicious Trader Joe's blondie bar mix to top off a chilly weekend!

St. Cecilia


Our favorite garden rose!  I love how full it is (almost like a peony -- my favorite flower!) -- and it is so fragrant!

Wishlist Wednesday: Laywer's bookcase


I've been wanting a lawyer's style bookcase for some time now for the study.  I love the clean lines and especially how the doors open up and slide back into the case.  There are a few that I go visit every time I am at the antique mall--just waiting for a sale!

Grateful


So glad that it's Friday and that BK comes home today.  Never thought I would say this, but evidently you can eat too much Captain Crunch cereal...
