Favorite Mug


A mug has three different occupations. 1: It can be already used and to be in the photo must be plucked out of the dishwasher. 2: It can be clean and ready to hold some tea. Or 3: it can be a pen and pencil/anything that will fit into this cup.

I'm feeling sheepish or Baaaa humbug

Definition of: I'm feeling Sheepish

I have a tendency to speak before I really think things out. That feeling of "I really want to crawl under the rug at this moment in time." Like right here at this moment I'm feeling sheepish because I have no good example to show just how many time I say this phrase or think it in a normal day.

Puzzled


We have a card table set up in the room with the wood stove in it. The perfect spot to go with a cuppa to put together a puzzle or to paint. Or just plain go hide away from um the other inhabitants of this house.

Teacup


This is a really funky and cool teacup that mom received from her secret sister some while ago. Somehow it made its way onto my bookshelf and has sat there happily for 5 years.

Dolls

Sitting pretty, waiting for a tea party.

I once had a sweet doll, dears,
The prettiest doll in the world;
Her cheeks were so red and so white, dears,
And her hair was so charminly curled.
But I lost my poor little doll, dears,
As I played on the heath one day;
And I cried for her more than one week, dears,
But I could never find where she lay.
I found my poor little doll, dears,
As I played on the heath one day;
Folks say she is terribly changed, dears,
For all her paint is washed away,
And her arm is trodden off by the cows, dears,
And her hair not the least bit curled;
Yet for old times sake, she still is, dears,
The prettiest doll in the world.

Pretty Plum Tree

This plum tree has been around for a while, we bought it up in Manchester at the Equinox Garden place. It bore some fruit during it's first years in the ground but has plummeted (no pun intended) and has just become a pretty spring decoration. If you could just bottle some of the sweet scent and market it as a perfume, mmmm it has such a light fragrance to it.

Tree Pollen


Dad is very glad to be up in Greenland right now. He has pretty annoying spring allergies to the tree pollen. By the time the lilacs are gone by, that marks the end. Last year I started having some problems as well. This morning I woke up with a lovely headache and stomach ache which means it's now my turn to count the days till June.
