2. afternoon light over the kitchen sink
3. an early Christmas present to myself, a little satchel. (purchased from down that little lane)
4. quinoa for a simple meal. served with caramelised onion and steamed butternut pumpkin stirred through
5. bulk marigold planting today in the hope of keeping all those seedling-munching bugs away
this week has not been the healthiest. what started as a headache this time last Sunday led to whole body aches for work on Monday and a cough that has stuck around all week. I'm on the mend now so hopefully this coming week is a lot better.
How pretty are those little tea light holders - just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better Zara. Milk glass with candles make a perfect Christmas display! I love that satchel. Good luck with your seedlings x
ReplyDeleteThe milk glass gives a candle such a gentle glow. Love it!
ReplyDeleteYour new satchel is so nice.
I don't have much luck with Marigolds, within days of planting them, something chews them to the base overnight. This year I sprinkled some Woollies minced garlic around them and have only lost one plant! They are all in bloom now! x
I have been searching for an old school satchel for Sunny for her first year of school next year but can't find one that has two straps so that she can wear it on her back :( Am in love with yours! Glad to hear you're on the mend. We've been battling tonsillitis and gastro! These holidays can't come fast enough!
ReplyDeleteAdore the milk glass Zara. Get better soon xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stills again this week Zara. I cooked up some Quinoa too which I made into a simple but very tasty salad 'no added oil lemon lime minted cucumber & cranberry quinoa salad' . xx
ReplyDeleteLoving every single bit ! x
ReplyDeleteHi there, popping in from The Beetle Shack, I love the milk glass photo...hope you are feeling much better soon. Regards Kathy A, Brisbane, Australia
ReplyDeleteOoh I have that piece of milk glass too. The quinoa sounds do good. How did your mr go with it? I would love to serve this up but I think my mr would ask where the meat is. He's more if steak and three veg man. Was it a satisfying meal? I hope you feel a lot better this week Zara. Summer colds are annoying! Take care x
ReplyDeletenice satchel. and amazing light. xx
ReplyDeleteThat milk glass is perfect! Such lovely shots, hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteLovely Zara, especially the milk glass candle holders :-) Our Marigolds didn't work, think we planted the seeds too early :-( Hope you are on the mend, nothing more annoying than getting a cold in Summer. Mel x
ReplyDeleteLove the milk glass, and the shade of blue for your satchel is down right perfect. Get well soon! xo
ReplyDeletemmm quinoa...one of my fav foods. We often eat it as a risotto. Lovely photos! xx
ReplyDeleteLove your posts. Beautiful and simple.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the light over your kitchen sink. It is stunning and may have even made doing the dishes a little more enjoyable. I hope you are feeling better soon. We're all battling yucky colds at the moment too. Not nice this time of year. Melinda x
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling much better Zara, lovely satchel btw. We have a few marigolds in bloom at the moment, hubby likes them so I have a few scattered here and there, just the plain yellow ones.
