Nothing like home made bread to make a home feel cozy. I can't eat this bread since this is not gluten free! I made it for my men. This is my daughter's favorite bread recipe for slicing. It can be found on my cooking blog here.http://nannykimsrecipes.blogspot.com/2014/01/maple-wheaten-bread.html
I like touches of red in the home in the winter! Yup --it is cheerful and cozy to me.
I also like my winter teapot.
I do like the old paint by number scenes above---nostalgia for me!
my red plaid throws--makes me think of my kid days in Vermont...
AND....in reading old English mysteries we were always reading about sherry. So for Christmas my hubby bought different kinds of sherry and some port for us to try. This was the dry variety since we don't like a lot of the sweet stuff:
I love to occasionally do jigsaw puzzles this time of the year---well, any time of the year. This one is impressionistic--I have decided impressionistic ones are HARD!
and last of all I have left my cardinal tablecloth on---love them and they are cheerful!
and a hot Indian spice soup (not overly spice--y but full of flavor!

fresh baked bread . . . red checked curtains . . . a jigsaw puzzle . . . Life looks good at Nanny Kim's.
ReplyDeleteNothing is better than fresh baked bread, so I am avoiding baking any! I would eat it. How disciplined of you to avoid it. The kids dancing are so cute. I wish I could still be so carefree!
ReplyDeleteThe phone charger I wrote about lists at $49.99 but I saw it on Amazon for around $36. I am sure if you googled it there would be a variety of prices.
All looks cozy there!
ReplyDeleteHot bread, yummy soup, soft blankets, and good books.

Nothing like fresh homemade bread, hot from the oven, the aroma floating through the kitchen, which is framed in pretty red and white checked curtains, soft cozy lighting and soup on the stove!
ReplyDeleteActually there is: those adorable cuties dancing up a storm in that lovely video! Definitely cheery!
