Such blessings..









Hello everyone.. 
Here we are half way through the week again.. 
We have been having quite the weather.. 
Snow and then freezing rain and so on.. 
I think I hear Spring calling my name.. smile.. 
How about you?  
Our kids and grandsons are so enjoying the ski slopes this Winter.. 
I think they are typical Canadians and love this season.. smile..

Just sharing a few pics of the last couple of days.. 

Received the most precious parcel in the mail from dear blogging friends .. the Mayo Family
We have become such great friends and share a love for the Lord..
I was so excited to open it and it was crammed full of treasures.. 
Thank you dear family.. 

Several years ago I bought a set of dishes which we used for our Valentine supper HERE..

They come in several colors and were a wee bit expensive.. 

Yesterday..
 I found 3 salad plates and 4 bowls for 69 cents each at the Salvation Army Thrift store.. 
What a blessing.. 
Now if I could find 1 dinner plate.. smile.. 
I only bought 5 for some reason.. 

Today was a freezing rain day and I needed to make some bread.. 
This one is mostly wholewheat.. 
Nice when you toast it for breakfast with a bit of honey drizzled over... smile.. 
My hippie breakfast.. smile..

A new cake recipe that was a bit dry but the icing was lovely.. 
I think it would be delicious if you used oil instead of the shortening which it called for..  

I must go for this time dear ladies.. 
Have a wonderful evening and may God bless each of you.. 

Looking forward to a coffee date tomorrow with a friend.. 

Thanks for the sweet visit..

    I read the Mayo Family's blog and love it. I love the dishes you found at such a great price. Keep warm. It's cold down here in Illinois too and tomorrow we're going to get some snow.

    How nice to find more of your dishes at the thrift store! You sure do have some high snowbanks there Faye. We didn't get much in yesterday's storm, thankfully. There are flurries here this morning but I hope they end soon as I have to go to town. I am so tired of snow boots, gloves and a down filled parka!! Ready for spring here too Faye. :)

    We (my four year old daughter and I) just made the bread again yesterday (we doubled it, this time). AND... I have to tell you that slicing that bread and into the toaster is the best thing ... evah.

    But what makes it better... yes! is to drizzle with honey - that and the warm melted butter - but even better yet is to finale it with a sprinkle/dash or two of cinnamon.

    Oh boy...

    Sounds like you're having quite the winter! So are we, we have far more snow than usual. I can't wait to see the little treasures that you received in the mail.
    I toyed with the thought of baking bread today, but I didn't, maybe tomorrow. I want to make your rosemary bread again, hubby liked it.
    Hugs, Cindy

      Hi Karen.. so nice to hear from you ...
      The dishes are from a craft type store here in New Brunswick and are called A La Carte by Skye McGhie.
      And the quilt is actually 2 place mats that were in the parcel from the Mayo family.. Aren't they lovely?
      Take care, my friend..

    Your snowy pictures are beautiful, Faye... but they make my feet cold. *grin*
    I love your dishes... and getting a surprise in the mail always makes ones' day!
    Your bread looks yummy~ toast and honey is one of my favorites. James says it looks too messy the way I eat it... that's okay, just more for me. *ha* ((HUGS))
