Light snowflakes falling, turkey roasting, and vintage jazzy music playing while watching the dog show…that’s what’s happening in my corner of the world (with a definite post-dinner nap in my future!)
Sending warm wishes for a happy, cozy day wherever you may be!
Just a note to let you know the November MaryJane’s Farm post is up…if you’d like to pop over and read it, here’s a quick link:
Thanks!
While it quickly melted, it’s reminded me I need to pick up the pace. I cut the last of the sage and brought it into dry for Thanksgiving stuffing (or do you call it dressing?) I brought in some pots of rosemary, begonias, and geraniums, hoping they will perk up the kitchen throughout the winter, along with the last of the garden peppers. I don’t think I have the energy to make pepper jam, any suggestions??
Jan you are so right - the green gingham skillet is on eBay!
Will let you know what I do with the bead board – I am plotting and planning, scheming and dreaming! I also found some handwriting (plus the vet’s name and number) on the wall. Maybe it’s just me, but I think things like these are treasures. Not exactly sure what the last sketch is supposed to be…
And lastly, while staying up way too late to finish a book I’ve been reading, my Aurora app sent a notification that the Northern Lights “might” be visible in my location. Since this is a rare occurrence here in the Midwest, I grabbed my coat and outdoors I flew! And while they only lasted a few minutes before the clouds rolled in, it was an absolute thrill to see them.
What did make my heart happy (at the end of a dusty and dirty day) was this sight..
And while it was a storm to the north, the contrast in colors was absolutely stunning.
What also made my heart happy with stumbling upon oodles of what surely must be vintage bead board - again, dusty and dirty is the theme for the day, but it set my heart a flutter!
I know I know, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but my mind was whirling. I want to redo the kitchen in an unfitted style-I can just see bead board on the walls and ceiling (be still my heart) and while there isn’t nearly enough for that, maybe just a special wall, or maybe the ceiling, or maybe having a cupboard built with some of it. I’ve tried to work with the kitchen, trust me, it must be out of the 70s. There’s only so much paint can do.
Then I found this in the barn, thinking it might be a cake pan until I turned it and found ??? on the side. Maybe not a cake pan, but a skillet - perhaps that’s where the handle was attached? Does anyone have thoughts on what it might be? Love the green gingham pattern!
