I read a blog, Charming the Birds from the Trees, often. Occasionally, she does a fun thing called Commitment to Loveliness, a fun way to increase femininity and beauty in our lives each week without even trying! All you have to do is choose five things to work on or do during the week that will increase the loveliness in your life!
Here is my list for this week:
1. With these last few Indian Summer days, I may plant a cute miniature dwarf peach tree in my front bed and finish the fall yard cleanup.
2. Finish Christmas kits for my older grandchildren and their families. Shhh, don't tell.
3. Cut out a new blouse.
4. Make pickled ginger or ginger marmalade from Fancy Pantry. There's just something about the name; don't you know.
5. Make some lavender sachets for my dresser drawers and some to give as gifts to my visiting teaching sisters.
While your at it, you ought to candy some ginger. They, try adding candied ginger and chocolate chips to banana bread! You're in for a treat! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog from Charming the birds from the trees. I was wondering what Fancy Pantry was, website/book? Sounds like an interesting find.
ReplyDeleteAlso what go into your Christmas kits?
