spent a bit of time looking for a display plate to use for Sunday’s Afternoon Tea, and came across a few small plates that I had forgotten I had…

I’ve been wishing for some smaller plates so was very happy with this find…

now to find a spot in the kitchen cupboard for these cuties…

obviously I need to have a wander through the drawers a bit more often…

finally put away some dishes the other day…

I figured I didn’t need thirty plates available at my fingertips for feeding all my company so I moved a number of plates and bowls and added a few Christmas ones where I can reach them;-)…

interesting how long it took me to let go of that stack… also moved some of my favourite dishes off a counter to fit in with the rest..

looking tidier in the kitchen…

a few days ago as I was driving home from work, I came across three different cars with vanity plates…

made me think of my beloved… whenever we would spot a vanity plate he would usually be the one to figure out what it said…

of course I couldn’t take photos of the plates, but this morning as I was walking down the street by the office I came across this plate;-)…

I figured this one out, lol…

on Christmas Eve day I bought some new plates I’d been eyeing for a while…

last night we used them for Christmas dinner…

today I had to find a place to put them… had a good time going through one of the kitchen cupboards and making space… was able to let a number of things go which always makes me happy…

later in the day I spent some time searching for something on the hallway bookshelf… and in the process was able to set aside a number of children’s books… again, way to go me…

dishes have been put away, give aways packed up, and books ready to be picked up by a young friend…

collections…

big girl pants, collections, Corelle, holiday, plates, purple, shopping, treats, widow

being as I’m on holiday, it seemed only fitting that I should get a few treats;-)…

yesterday I picked up this cute case to add to my iPhone case collection… I also got a clear one and will have to choose a few of my pictures to print and put in it…


I’ve been changing up my cases on a regular basis and for the last few weeks was using the one that holds a credit card… works great but will only hold one card and I really need to carry two… 

I also picked up some clothes… a warm hoodie, a long sleeve t-shirt and a pair of patterned pants…


my final treat was this morning when I found three cute plates…


I’ve been enjoying eating off different plates for the last while, and have been adding to my collection of fun dinner ware… only need one so it isn’t too expensive to add a few new ones… the two tree ones are Corelle which also means they can go into the dishwasher, and won’t break…

happy holidays… lots of treats;-)…

barbecue…

barbecue, big girl pants, car, chair, craving, Outlet Collection Mall, plates, purple, red, shopping, Teen burger, widow

great luck with shopping… met the kids out Kenaston and my grandson headed off in my car and my daughter and I went searching for a few things on my list…

got the cutest little red barbecue that is being put together at the store and delivered sometime this week…

had to download this picture from the internet because I didn’t take one while we were in the store, lol… it has two burners, with shelves on both sides that fold down so it won’t take up too much room in the garage… and it has four wheels which will make moving it around much simpler…

then we found a purple sports chair… had seen one last summer and been on the lookout since then… it’s purple after all…  it has a little table and containers for snacks and drinks… will be great for soccer games and camping…

at the same place found two pretty plates… been feeling like my plain white with black on them are getting boring…

went to the new Outlet Collection Mall and I picked up a better quality garlic press from Think Kitchen… the Mall was a big space with many stores, some of them new to the city, but only appeared to have a few actual outlets…

had a teen burger for lunch… not exactly the best meal for me but I’ve been craving one, so adjusted the rest of my meals for the day… it is much better for me to have the food I’m craving rather than end up eating all kinds of things I don’t really want…

got dropped at home, had a nap and then made a ChefsPlate dinner… 

feels odd not to have the car, but my grandson will bring it back at supper time tomorrow…

busy, but productive day…
