A simple and sweet weekend view this week. Puzzles, vintage treasures, garden roses and more.
Daylight Savings
Did anyone else sleep in today? How it is with the time change- but it sure feels like I started the morning running behind when I got up and looked at what time it was.
Puzzle Adventures
We finished the spooky puzzle yesterday- such a fun one to work on but I have to say, a bit harder in some of the areas than we anticipated and they took us a bit to get figured out. All in all though- working on it for about an hour after dinner the past week was pretty fun and a good way to get your brain working a bit.
Vintage treasures
I did it again. I have been shopping for vintage treasures. And I brought a few things home. I am planning on doing some redecorating and found some perfect pieces for that as well as some vignette photos that I am working on. I will share some of the treasures this week- here is a peek of one of them & I have a feeling you will love the others too.
Garden Roses in the house
I am playing with a few pretty blooms this week from my friend Grace at Grace Rose Farm. I am pretty in love with how ruffly and pretty they are- and you can bet you will be seeing more of them.
Grand dogs
We watched two of our grand dogs this week while one of my sons and his family were on vacation. Lots of walks and playing ball was on repeat.
Sourdough Adventures
I also baked a couple of loaves of sourdough this week- they are turning out better which makes me happy and of course- they are delicious. I love the process of baking them-the only problem is we don’t eat them quickly enough so I am thinking of sending a loaf over to the neighbors on occasion.
Thanks for all your feedback on the vintage glassware from last weeks post. I haven’t figured out too much more about it but I will keep you posted. Either way- you will be seeing it in a table setting soon!
Happy Weekend All.
Your puzzle looks so fun Courtney! I’m having a heck of a time with my current one – it’s quite a bit trickier than I first thought, but still fun! And those roses! Gorgeous! I can’t wait to see what you do with them. Thanks for sharing all the fun!
Courtney, You find the best treasures! I would love to spend a day with you while you treasure hunt. The bread is gorgeous. I love to bake it and end of giving loaves away to happy friends and neighbors. I haven’t tried any of the elaborate cutting details-yours are so pretty. Happy Sunday!
I would love to know the name of the ruffly roses. Looking forward to seeing more of them. Maybe you could do a post about grace rose farm and give us some names of the beauties….whatever you post I so enjoy it all!
We’re ready…franki
Lovely roses and vintage finds! Did i miss the tips and tricks with recipes for sourdough bread? We have only one place that bakes or has the sourdough freshly in stock. I know I need a starter but in reading your trials your baking sheet or pan needs to allow space in the oven for rising? Would a pizza stone work for baking sourdough?
Daylight savings ends here next month, i have no issues with it starting or ening unlike some I know. Beautiful flowers and a jigsaw puzzle I wouldn’t have the patience to do
I love your chair are you going to sell it.?
Hi Courtney, I am loving your posts of course!! That grren chair top ypu showed was fabous. I want to see all of it??? Please I never saw the post about startin a sourdough starter and how to bake etc. Please repost if I missed it because apparently I wasn’t the only one. Thank you. I love the roses from Grace Rose farm. I have bought 4 bushes from her.
