When is the last time you used a paperweight?
Paperweights in a digital age.
I opened my China cabinet and saw three. The glass one in front seemed to almost glow. My sister gave Matthew the Dandelion suspended in clear resin and the glass orb with the bubbles was from my maternal. grandmother.
Then I remembered I had a book about paperweights in my living room.
See the examples Concentric Millefiori
Millefiori (means a thousand flowers in Italian)
A couple of examples –
The plates in the book are colorful and informative
I received a happy text and some photos from good friend Shuey in Niceville Florida. Shuey guest blogged the most viewed post of the year 2012 the stunning Barred Owl
Look what’s going on at their library.
Shuey writes,
“Crochet Yarn Bombing. First time at our local Niceville Library. Some really beautiful pieces for sure.”
And
There’s gong to be some upcoming yarn bombing in Millville PA Community supporting the Millvale Library, sponsored by Abeillevoyante Tea Compamy and McWalker Yarns click links for more info and details to participate as due date is August 24th.
It was an intense thunderstorm. I said I bet there will be a rainbow.
The double rainbow is in reverse color order he pointed out to me. Wow. I did not know that
Would believe I have a nut dish? Just the one.
A boat shaped Lenox nut dish.
Steve had a container of mixed nuts and I saw it and thought, wait a minute, somewhere in a China closet there is a designated dish to hold nuts.
I’m serious. A wedding gift in 1974, it was paired with that lidded Lenox candy dish I posted the other day.
An added spoon would be the best way to serve the nuts so people don’t stick their hands in the dish.
Happy Tenth Birthday to Charlie.
Hope you have a great day ❤️FFR
My friend and gardener extraordinaire Erin brought us some lettuce and snap peas from her garden. She was worried her lettuce would bolt due to the extreme high temps we’re having.
I washed, drained and wrapped them in towels and put in the fridge.
Remember the post of the tuna balsamic simple sandwich with chopped sweet onion, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese?
No bread this time
Thank you Erin. It was delicious
