Happy Love Recipe

I thought it would be fun to take photos of fresh produce to show off my recently found antique kitchen scales. To pair with these photos, I also found a couple of classic happy love recipes to remember at Valentine's day, and for me to practice all year:

4 cups love 5 spoons hope
2 cups loyalty 2 quarts tenderness
3 cups forgiveness 4 quarts faith
1 cup friendship 1 barrel laughter

Take love and loyalty, mix it thoroughly with faith. Blend it with tenderness and hope, sprinkle abundantly with laughter.

Bake it with sunshine and serve with generous helpings.

Take a cup of kindness
Add a dash of charity

Mix with understanding
And a bit of courtesy

Top it off with patience
Sprinkle liberally with cheer

Serve generously to everyone You meet throughout the year

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

Aqua Blue Vintage Bottles

I think I may have mentioned from a previous post that I started collecting vintage bottles last year.

Well, this collection is growing...

Most of these are antique bottles dug up from different parts of the US. Oh and I have a couple from Europe too!

I think they look so pretty adding more light and sparkle to my living room.

I picked up some spring flowers from my front garden. They make the bottles even prettier.

This is an old Irish soda pop bottle

I have two of these little ones, they read "Eiffel Tower Fruit Juice" and these are from England.

These yellow beauty are broccoli flowers. They turn into pretty flowers in the spring. Oh but they still smell like broccoli, not the best smelling flowers.

Simple and pretty!
