A Goodwill find

Whenever I go to a thrift store, I have certain things I am on the look out for. One thing that I've admired is the Butter platforms I've seen on a couple of blogs. Marty has one in her kitchen. She shows it on her post HERE.

I've never come across the Butter platform, but I did find something interesting at Goodwill.

Outdoor Wednesday

A couple of years ago, our family took a trip to Snowshoe West Virginia. My kids love to snowboard.

And even though the vistas are very beautiful.

The cold is not inviting to me. So this is where my hubby and I spend the days, while our kids hit the slopes.

Yep, I can get just as nice of a view and stay warm :-)

Red Winter Tea

After Christmas I love to display my red china, especially as we get close to Valentine's Day. They are pieces that I have picked up through the years. I had purposed not buy any more china, but when I recently came upon Royal Stafford Asiatic Pheasant, well, my resolve dissolved

Little by little I've purchased red dishes. Cups and saucers, tea pot and a few dishes.

I bought this amazing teapot at Cracker Barrel many years ago.

I stopped in my tracks when I found Asiatic Pheasant.

There were only a few dinner plates, but with the pieces I already have, they make a lovely winter table.

On a trip to Georgia this summer I found this very cute creamer at Queen of Hearts Antiques in Alpharetta.

A few of my Syracuse Strawberry Fields China on display on the hutch.

I'm ready to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea and brunch. How about you??

Sunday Morning

Make me to know your ways, O Lord,

teach me your paths.

Lead me in your truth and teach me,

for you are the God of my salvation,

for you I wait all the day long.
