sewhungryhippie: Middle Age induction ceremony highlights.

Last week I had a really lovely day.

I just wanted to recap it here, should I forget many years from now, or if perhaps one day in the near future I start feeling gloomy after days without sunshine. It helps to remember the good bits.

All sorts of flowers came through the door.

And chocolates---completely decadent and lush, exactly how I choose to live.

My children decided to decorate my sewing box so I would have extra good luck on this day:

Which in fact I did, as you can see below, I won my bidding war.

The vintage pyrex dishes I had been drooling over for months appeared, thank you Ebay. These are made in England, from the 1960's. I love them so much. They make me smile every day.

Pyrex is so heavy. I get a workout for my wrists every day now. Let's get real---nobody wants fat wrists.

I made my coffee and tea in my special tea cups. I don't usually use these as they are so dainty, I do love them so much.

I felt like a proper Lady.

It probably helped I walked around the house practicing my Downton Abbey accent.

Yes, I talk to myself, (in a British accent) don't you?

You know when a friend just knows you?

This was her gift to me----it is so perfect I nearly fainted.

Okay, I didn't really faint, but in efforts of dramatic intention you understand my point.

I squeal every time a package arrives from Amazon. This is a peek into my world right here:

(Thank you husband).

That orange thing is a julienne cutter--(I know!!)

My Mom and Dad sent me this among other things. I'm always reciting British Historical facts for random strangers so they think I'm really clever and scholarly. (Or just plain mad is more like it.)
