Snippets~ Before the Frost~And one of the attics~ No ghosts~:)

A few more glorious days of sun .. vermillions and golds..

 and then  the the skies opened..

On the first telltale hrs of  a gorgeous weather change..impending..I started  chopping off all my perrennials heads..I picked the last Clematis. ... Huldine~..and the last Fairy Roses..truth be told..if we have no frost soon..The Fairy roses will be blooming their heads off again~..♥

They are my very favorite roses here in my gardens in QC~

We had some  pomegranate scones.. yet again..Sunday.. that I love so much..(still hate arieling them:)

and may have found  a tool on Amazon..but will wait until I buy and try to share~

I have posted these before..and cannot find my post anywhere~..

Try them..I vouch for them over and over again..and make over and over again~♥

That same clouding over day..I went in the garage attic..I knew I had boxes up there w/ clothes my daughters wore..

I found a few keepers..like the embroidered dresses I made them..etc..

and thought of Jana~

I have posted about her before..from edible flowers..to pinks..to paprikas..to curly haired blonde beautiful children~

My daughters have great friends..

and each one has her.. (or his..Chris)..little comfy..funny..honest..warm..brilliant personalities..

But I had the opportunity to work with one before I stopped working..  Jana..and well...I loved her too:)

So when I thought of the kilts and saddle shoes and Polly Flinders dresses and hand knit sweaters..jumpers..etc..all these girl clothes.. w/ my 4 alphabet boys..

I though of Jana and her 2 Nordic looking blonde darling daughters:) Clémence..and Astrid~♥

So they are washed..pressed and off to 2 new little girls more than 30 yrs later:)

BUT..I aslo found half of the Barbie clothes collection..a neighbor's mom had knit for me to give to the girls from Santa.. look how beautiful:) All kinds of hand knit perfectly knit little intricately made outfits..and she had made the hangers too.

I am keeping those for now..

and may buy myself a new vintage Barbie:)

I found the very first Cabbage Patch doll too~

Enjoying these small trips down memory lane..while the ABs..make new memories  for me..

The muffins are delish..Karol..a client of mine  served these to me when we worked together..

Footnote~

I love visiting my cozy slipper blogs..the ones I look forward to every day..
The unfortunate thing is..sometimes you may not get to hear me dropping by..
It's that spell check ..prove you're not a robot thing..

Once ..twice..three strikes I am out.

Sometimes I think..oy I'll never get past this one..and I have 20/20 close up vision..
and it works fine.. other times..I think do I even try? No one could make this out..and I get a home run..
But quite a few times..all looks good and ..3 strikes I am out..
even 2 strikes  .. I find ..well.. it can get to me..And my middle name is Patience.
So please never think I am stopping by without trying to say:" Hi! How are you? Looks good":)Pinning..!

It's just that the welcome mat gets tugged back by the spell checkerooythingy.:(..I am going somewhere or seeing small boys..or doing something downtown..etc..
My apologies..
I do try~!
Not because I have to..but because I want to..drop by.:)
