A Few of My Favorite Things



The thunder and lightening tonight remind me of one of my favorite things. It's the scene from the Sound of Music when Maria calms the children down during a thunderstorm by singing to them all about her favorite things.
Who doesn't LOVE that song? So on this stormy night, I thought that I would share a few of my favorite things with you!

I recently found these on etsy, and I think they are wonderful!


Vintage Apple Crates


(wouldn't they make a great book case?)

Beautiful Bird Measuring Spoons


(these absoloutely sing to me)

Waffles

and finally something from one of my favorite blogs,

    I couldn't find an email for you but wanted to answer your question. No, I haven't made my own vanilla sugar yet. Have you? :)

    I would like to. I have heard if you store used vanilla beans with sugar that it will become vanilla sugar. I am going to try it and I will let you know :)
