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...
