This and That

Now that I am home full-time, I find I am spending more time planning healthier meals, baking (not so healthy) but, oh so yummy treats for the kids, and working out at the gym 3 to 4 times a week.  But, honestly, with my youngest still at home, I am just doing all the normal mommy things and my day seems to whizz by.

I made Ina's cinnamon sugar doughnuts for the first time.  They were DELICIOUS.  And, so so EASY!  I bought the doughnut pan from Sur La Table and handed out the above packages to my neighbors!

It isn't until the evening, after the kids are in bed, that I then start to think about my house/decorating, unpacking, etc.  I doubt I'll find a better balance until my youngest starts school in a year or two, but for now, I am just fine with that.

I was able to complete my collection of Lion's head bowls (from Sur La Table) - they were on super sale!

Two weekends ago, I visited Goss Antiques here in Louisville.  A dream come true for a lover of antiques with never ending rows of dealers (mostly furniture).

I found a booth called CS and K Antiques and she had the most beautiful french/english furnishings.  I purchased the above picture for our bedroom.  I love how subdued it feels.

It wasn't until my Ebay purchase of Colefax and Fowler's "Bowood" fabric arrived that I noticed the similarities in colors between the picture and fabric.  I must be drawn to this color palette - cream, green, gray/blue and white.

I hope you all are having a good week.  We are having record 'cold' temperatures here in Louisville.  I can't believe it.  And, I thought I was moving to the South???

See you next week and Stay warm!!
