My Favorite Holiday Vignette

I love my red truck. Kind of wish I had one in real life. This scene is probably my favorite. So I’m joining Claudia’s holiday A Favorite Thing at Mockingbird Hill Cottage.

Sugar, Sugar

This week after physical therapy, I decided to drive down the road to Utica Square and go to Pier 1. It is really my favorite shop there. And I found this little Sugar house. It was $5. Sold!

It was just so cute.

I’ve chosen this as my favorite thing this week. I’m linking to Claudia’s A Favorite Thing at Mockingbird Hill Cottage.

Dainty Little Teacups

Last week I was on eBay looking around. I love teacups. This cute little trio I bid on and won for .99 cents. Of course there was shipping and handling that brought the total price closer to $10. But still in my eyes a good deal.

This one has cute little pink and purple flowers. Very delicate. I see a lady at a garden meeting or book club raising this sweetie to her lips and sipping oh…Earl Grey.

Then there’s this white one that would fit into anyone’s decor. I like that it’s rimmed with gold. A nice accent. I see a woman in a restaurant holding it, while listening to her husband talk about work. Her little finger raised ever so delicately above the little hole that within the handle.

And this last one has yellow/gold daffodils with pink.  I see a woman sitting at the kitchen table at mid-afternoon, having a cup of tea while doing the newspaper’s crossword puzzle in the quiet hours before she begins supper.

There is not one chip or blemish on any of these three teacups and saucers.

Yellow Mums

Judy came waltzing in the door the other day with a pot of yellow mums for me. I was so grateful.

Normally this time of year, I’d have out cool weather flowers.

I so love to look out the back door and see these setting there. They are so cheerful.

So this week, that is my favorite thing.

The Little Red Microwave That Could…

When I walk in the kitchen, this little red microwave just makes me smile. It’s just so bright and cheerful. And obeys all commands.

Which is why I had to dress it up a bit with my little red and white polka dotted measuring bowls.

Cute overload, huh?

And not to be outdone are the measuring spoons and barnyard salt and pepper shakers.

Isn’t it funny how little things like this can make us so happy?
