When I saw this shelving paper at Walmart I fell in love. I love cheerful reds at this time of the year. I decided to use it for placemats! There was enough for 7 so I will have to go back since I want 8. This is GREAT stuff because it is NOT PAPER>
It meets my rooster's approval
Yes, yes my table is messy because we are working on a puzzle:
ANYWAYS--it was such a pretty morning today:
It made me want to slow down [which I am very good at doing!]
I decided to get out my egg cup---YES YES YES, I love to eat a boiled egg this way ....I like mine hard boiled.
Here it is awaiting the egg. And then with the egg
You just take a regular knife and give it a few wacks where you want to remove the egg shell. You can look on youtube for a video--if I remember I will attach one at the end of this post. Then you dig in:
I ate mine at our big coffee table with some hot brewed tea---this is the cosy covering the pot
a distant photo ;-)
and my happy cup--I love the bright colors in this cup--plus it is a big one!
The tea pot is an old favorite--thick and heavy made in England. This with the cosy keeps it nice and hot
Just wanted to add--I needed some juice cups so when I was at ole Walmart I found these!! AND they are made in the USA!!! I love their tones--the remind me of stained glassed windows---my photos won't do them justice:
Plus they stack nicely
I needed some index cards with the binding---the 4 by 6 ones. However the stores were not carrying them so I resorted to this next item which is actually almost as handy. I wanted a place to put prayers, Bible quotes and inspirational stuff to use while praying:
AND last of all I wanted to share something that is so warm and cozy---it is a fleece type sweater from Nordstrom's that I bought at Christmas time when they were on sale (online) --everyone said how warm and comfy and cozy they were and so RIGHT--not the best photo---I gotta get going!!
Here are directions for using egg cup:http://www.ehow.com/how_5128780_use-egg-cups.html
and for the Nordstrom's fleece [today it is 39 dollars] go here

It was nice to read a post that sounded so cheerful and happy! Most of us are in the glooms about winter and lousy weather and you seem to be perky! I needed that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cozy post, Kim! I love the red and white floral place mats ...very warm for winter! And I too love a boiled egg and muffin for breakfast! Love the blue and white dish and the pretty juice glasses. Cozy morning!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing all your fantastic finds.

What a great idea to use that shelving paper for placemats! Love the cheery pattern and color and that cute cup!
ReplyDeleteSometime, Rhianwen needs to have a sleepover at your place. She'd have so much fun with you and your special ways of eating food and relaxing! Hmm, maybe I could come too...Just the girls.
ReplyDeleteLove the sweater and the egg cups!
