Tasking a new Makelight photography course...

Happy days these are.

Continuing my love for taking photos.

So much fun learning and styling my photos.

Each day I can be creative,

each day I can find a new photo

to take.

Back at home...

As much as I love being away from home for

a holiday or joyful

Claire duties,

I do love being back home.

All of the flowers grew so much in the week we were gone.

I was overjoyed that I was still able to enjoy my peonies.

I styled my thrifted finds and I must say I am so

pleased with my

"New Pyrex"

issued to celebrate Pyrex's 100 anniversary!

Wood fired Pizza...

We spent a wonderful afternoon

enjoying the woodlands and amazing wood fired pizza.

To my surprise, Marilyn has several pieces of Pyrex, including this Butterprint bowl

that she got from her mother.

She also made her pizza dough in her

Pyrex Town and Country Cinderella bowls

she and Norn received for their

wedding anniversary more than 50 years ago.

I dug out some Alpine Willy Clematis to transplant in my garden.

Let's hope next spring it will be blooming amongst my

VIrgina Creeper.

Back to our sunny home...

It was a quick trip,

filled with lots of love, hugs and kindness.

I found a few lovely thrifted pieces.

The real finds were

these two Kosta Boda

avacodo plates.

They have become harder and harder

to collect.

And the girls had fun....

Cindy leaves today, but we sure had a lot of fun.

Somehow we never took

enough photos.

Here are a few we did manage to take.

Cindy made out like a bandit in

Value Village.

I was able (thanks to Cindy's good eyes)

to add on to my Pyrex collection.

3 tourquoise

Cinderella bowls to complete a set.

Using my Pyrex..

My love for pink and tourquoise

pyrex is well known by

my friends who have gifted me more than a few pieces.

I often get asked if I use any of them?

I use some of them almost everyday.

Especially for mixing, baking and storing things

in the fridge.

I am happy to admit that I continue to collect these two colours,

although they are getting harder and harder to find.

I never ever put them in the dishwasher, they are always washed by hand.

Happiness is a cupboard full of pink and tourquoise pyrex.

Good eats...

Cindy found for me a

Pyrex Oval Baker in the Pink Daisy pattern.

They were manufactured starting in 1957.

They are more uncommon than the oval divided casserole dish.

{which I am lucky enough to have two of}

These strawberries look amazing in this dish.

Along with jam and pear butter,

Landjäger sausage, wonderfully aged Cheddar,

as well as cookies and a cheesecake pie, is it any

wonder why she is so welcome at our home?

I might even be fortunate enough

to get to try her pickled asparagus she just finished

making.
