November 4, 2013



Shannon

Mr. Man getting some new places to hang out! This is a cute one of him on the stairs, although this is a few-and-far between calm moment and he keeps trying to *get* upstairs (and he isn't allowed). Ah, well - I'll take the tranquil moments whenever I can get them!


Suzie

I did not buy everything in this cart yesterday when I had a so much fun at Value Village but I did buy the mushroom containers! I was so surprised at myself. A lot of my glass jars have cracked around the edges and make me nervous and I have been thinking about replacing them so I got these two containers. I wasn't sure what my reaction was going to be to them. They make me feel homesick and Mom-sick but they also make me feel at home. I struggled the entire time I was there so I brought them home. So far, I am happy. I have been wanting to add more character to my kitchen and these have loads of character and happy memories of our old growing up.

Oh, my gosh!!! Those are truly amazing, Suzie. I can totally understand why you feel complicated about them. I hope they nourish your heart and your kitchen. It certainly makes me smile to see them with you!

Suzie Ridler said...

Jamie, are they just like Mom's? I think they are. It does nourish me, thankfully. It turned out to be the right decision. Yay for smiling!

Jamie Ridler Studios said...

Yes, they are exactly the ones we had at home. Exactly.

Suzie Ridler said...

Yay! I thought so but am so happy to have it confirmed. Thanks Jamie!

Oh Suzie, I'm so glad you found and got those awesome mushroom containers. I think it's a great way to add character and I hope they bring you new (and old) happy memories.

and...Late add from me.

It amazes me just how regal Gobo can look! I mean seriously!

Thanks Shannon, I am glad I found them too and they do bring back happy old memories and are helping make new ones. I am using them for sugar. Big one for baking, small one for tea and coffee. :)

I love that picture of Mr. Man! He does look so regal on his new-found perch.
