How nice! Last summer someone/something pulled out all my parsley --a rabbit? I didn't know the curly kind is tastier. I will have to remember that.<BR/>I love the pattern on those dishes. I wonder what it is. I just bought a single mug at Marshalls with a similar pattern.

The days when the kids are off to tuition, where I am not a slave to the house cleaning..those boring days or times, are the only times I have belonging to me. Otherwise, it's all around the kids :D<BR/><BR/>Your weekend sounds similar to mine, spent potting aroud the garden too. Though I cant knit even if my life depended on it haha :D <BR/><BR/>The biggest regret I had was not salvaging my grandmother's stuff, and she had so many plates, bowls etc., all from the 20's to 50's. When she died, no one wanted any and it was all given or thrown away. Sadly, vintage stuff were not valued so much over here, and I only appreciated it last year while visiting some blogs.<BR/><BR/>Happy week ahead my dear Willow :D<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of you when I wrote the rendang/celebration.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402753481785047700noreply@blogger.com
