pretty bowls and snowy walks

 I just love pretty bowls, especially old ones!












I pick them up at the thrift stores all the time.

Just a few patches and traces of the pretty snow left for our winter walk today:


bluebird house empty for now

a still snowy path








my peacock pin







we find neat old stuff in the fields:

Are you reading anything good on these chilly Winter days? Or do you prefer t/v?

I finished two more old Helen Van Slyke novels:






and two more paperbacks:


I must be pretty darn close to reading all the books this author wrote by now! LOL These novels are pretty old, from the 1970s, I believe.




I'm working on my magazine stack too:



Quiet days and evenings at home, chilly walks, animals to feed and care for, books to read, good evening movies and comfort food suppers....That's Winter here.
I hope your winter days are safe and warm---what do you enjoy about Winter?

  1. Oh, I LOVE your bowls! You do have some very pretty ones!! It would be fun to set the table with those bowls. We could team them up with my vintage plates for a real feast! LOL. We really should live closer together...think of the fun we could have! I loved seeing you walking in the fields and seeing the snow still on the ground! Amazing it hasn't all melted yet! It's been warming up here and I've enjoyed getting outside in the sunshine a little more this week. Oh! You are the "Peacock Princess!" You know I got that new little Madame Alexander doll for my dollhouse for Christmas from my sister, and she is the "Peacock Princess!" Now I know who the REAL Peacock Princess is! YOU!! So when you come to play with my dollhouse someday you can be her! LOL. I am not familiar with that author. I haven't been doing much reading this winter. My eyes get too tired too quickly. I think I will be the next one in line for cataract surgery once we get hubby's eyes all fixed. The doctor said mine weren't that bad YET, but as time goes by they aren't getting any better I'm sure. It's all I can do to keep up with my reading and writing here in blogland! It's so good to hear from you, and hope you and your hubby are doing well. Say hello to Tracie and Amybelle and Tansy from Lily Grace and Bailey. They do need to get together again sometime!!! Bye for now. Love to all.

  2. Pretty bowls. They are even better if you use them. haha....I collect Wizard of Oz stuff but I have a THING for boxes. Oh no, not cardboard ones, wooden ones but so far, I have kept it in check. However, when out thrifting, i am always looking.

  4. So weird to see the snow in your area. We expect it here and some people even appreciate it---me...not so much. I love old dishes and have way too many. I am trying to downsize and get rid of some of them. I have given several pieces to my daughters over the years but have tons more to share. lol
    Have a wonderful week, Debi- xo Diana

  5. ooooooh debbi...i have such an unhealthy addiction to bowls, any and all bowls but mine are primarily "cheap and fun" polka dots!!! what i love most about winter are the changes in weather, from morning to night and then the next day is another surprise. i like the shorter days more "making" (knitting time). thanks for checking in, this illness has been a long one...my email is stangs6@hotmail.com. email me any time but i don't always have my computer when i am in the hospital!! love and hugs!!!
