I am sharing a trip to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in Walnut Grove, Minnesota. This was part of our larger visit to see my son and daughter-in-love and their new home in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.We also went to visit an apple picking farm during our trip and snapped some incredible photos in the freshly fallen first snow of the season plus their friendly sweet dogs Bandit and Luna.
I can’t wait to share more of our home with you as we unpack and then begin work on garden design later this spring.

I love it’s simplicity and neutral greys and whites ~ very pretty! Plus
with this lovely upholstered and nailhead trimmed headboard it still has
that French style which I love.

Katie’s cute redo of her little van into a truck at Let’s Add Sprinkles is just perfect for spring. Part of 10 on the 10th which I was also a participant this time. 😉

What would springtime be without thinking about upcoming proms and weddings?? Well, this incredible prom bouquet made by Nicki at
Sweet Parrish Place was made entirely of grocery store flowers…
yeah, that beautiful!!!
I’d like to mention a few Honorable Mention posts too which aren’t necessarily in my normal decor or recipe categories, but I like them because of movies and other things…
1. Paula at Frog Prince Paperie shared the cutest Princess Bride movie t-shirts
and she shares the links to where you can get the downloadable SVGS. Still not sure what an SVGS {savages? ;)} but I know your kids would enjoy wearing these!
2. Tania at Little Vintage Cottage made the sweetest miniatures scenes in walnut shells ~ just adorable!
Thank you for coming over and please congratulate everyone featured here today! And thanks for the back-linking, too. We appreciate it!
Now let’s party!

Christmas Teas with Friends New and Old

We held our last study of the year where two special stories about the birth of the Christ Child were shared.
Peggy read to us from the gospel of Luke ch. 2…
The Birth of Jesus
1In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place while a Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3And everyone went to their own town to register.
4So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

A place setting for Jesus
After much visiting and meeting new friends we brought our soup bowls into the kitchen and served up the delicious chicken, spinach and cheese tortellini soup ~ heaven in a bowl!

Love this alcove for the range and all the brick! The copper pans and sieves remind me of the copper pans and moulds my mother collected. |
Sprinkled with little slivers of parmesan cheese and pine nuts the soup had a nice crunch that satisfied all of our palates.

The Advent wreath
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14, NIV)
“This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” (Luke 2:12, NIV)
3. “Shepherds candle” ~ which represents “Joy” as the shepherds heard the Good News and went in search of this great news. This is the third candle lit and it is traditionally a pink or rose-colored candle.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. (Luke 2:8–11, NIV)
4. “Angels candle” ~ lit on the fourth Sunday of Advent, the Sunday before Christmas, is the third and final purple candle lit. It represents “Peace.”
