February days..

Hello to all of you.. 

How is everything going for you? 

Just sharing a few pics tonight of our doings.. 

The Petitcodiac River yesterday.. 

The tide was in and the river was high.. 

It was a bleak and grey but we had a fun day..

Visited our youngest son and let them do a test on the baked donuts.. smile..

Made a wreath from fresh bay leaves.. 

It is to hang in the kitchen... 

Enjoying my new coffee cup that was a gift from our daughter.. 

Love the humor.. eh?

We visited our little market and bought a bag of apples..  

We did a bit of thrifting .. 

I love old marmalade crocks and found 3 plus a tray for $4.00... 

I have a plan for them which I will show you later..  

I had some basil that needed using so I did a flavored salt.. 

It smells so fragrant when I open the jar.. 

All you have to do is put some kosher, sea or coarse salt in a jar then layer with whatever herb you prefer then a layer of salt then herbs and so on.. 

Just let it sit and test it every once in awhile.. 

Use it as you would regular salt.. 

Made a pie for supper tomorrow.. (Valentine's Day)

It is our favorite and I do not use much sugar.. 

Thank you everyone for taking time to drop by and leaving your wonderful comments.. 

You are all awesome and I appreciate your visits.. 

Have a wonderful day tomorrow.. 

What are you all planning for the special day? 

Looking forward to hearing from you.. 

Peace...

Finding stuff for the shop...

Hello ... 

Welcome to the Blessed Hearth tonight.  

Thank you so much for all your sweet comments last posting..

Today has been a kind of easy day as I am just sitting and doing the dreaded taxes... smile.. 

Papers everywhere.. yuk.. 

Oh well, I will hopefully have them finished before I leave next week on my little trip.. 

I thought you might like to see some shop finds that I came across.. 

I love the old paper plaque above.. 

Our God never Faileth.. 

Then there is this wool quilt top...

My friend, Trace would love this.. smile.. 

She loves wools... 

Then there are Nipon plates..

There are 3 of them.. 

And...

A quilted pillow top that just needs to be put together..

And...

this dear little pitcher.. 

Do you know what the two wee bowls are.. 

Food and water dish for a Canary.. grin.. 

Or so I was told at the auction.. 

Gotta a Canary?  

And then there is this gorgeous old scrapbook album...

Look at the date... 1881... 

Salisbury, N. B.  is where I grew up.. 

Don't you love it?  I do... 

It is full of old cards and scraps of Victorian papers..

A sweet lavender heart wreath.. 

and a tin candle lamp.. a bit of prim...

Two more lovely old books..

A Standard Canadian Speaker and Entertainer Book.. 

And another sweet little one.. 

We won't be opening the shop until the middle of June.. 

Anyway, dear ladies thank you so much for dropping by.. 

I appreciate your company and notes so much.. smile..

Take care and God bless...
