Week 40:These are a "Few" of Our Favorite Things

Beth's

It was hard to nail it down to just a "few" things! There were so many more I would have added on to this weeks theme if it wasn't so cold outside! But here are a few of my favorite things in no particular order.

This first one was a given.

I love cameras! I am currently saving up right now to buy my first SLR. But this is what I have been taking all of my Project 52 photos with.

Books. I love to read! I was also an English teacher, so it reminds me of teaching. Which I loved!

I am so blessed to have so many great friends. I have lived all over and have met so many amazing people.

Traveling. Need I say more!

 Home. I loved growing up in the Copper Country (in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan). But home means more than just the phyiscal place. This also represents my family, who mean everything in the world to me.

 Colorful fabrics. I am addicted to color and fun retro patterns.

Playing cards. I love playing cards with my family when I am home. I also collect decks of cards from the different places I travel to. It's a fun little keepsake that I can actually use! These are a few of my favorite ones.

                                                  

  

Gerbera Daisies. I love them! When I have my own garden someday, it will be full of these!

Cows. I know, kind of random. I have loved cows since I was a kid and have collected cow things ever since. My love for the animal only increased when I lived on a dairy farm in New Zealand. They are just so cute!

 A zest for life and a little inspiration.

Art supplies. I love being able to use my creativity to produce something that others can enjoy. I feel like I am the most in my element when I can spend my time being artsy.

Bird decorations. I started collected bird things when I lived in Wisconsin and have continued it here. I just love finding fun bird things for my apartment.

Accessories. I am going to be a little girlie here for a moment. I LOVE accessories; shoes, jewelry, purses, scarves. You name it.

This was a fun theme for me, however so many of my favorite things are covered with snow or unavailable at this time of year.  We decided not to use people as they are not things.  But I couldn't resist people "doing" something, which you will see in a few photos

So we begin and in no particular order. 

My  sewing and embroidery machines.  I love to move them out of the craft room and in to the kitchen for all day projects.  The view is always sensational!

A cupboard in the kittchen with my parents crystal, my great grandma's vase and my teapot and teacup collection.

This one speaks for itself. I sang my babies to sleep with this song every night.

 

Children praying.

This on speaks for itself.

A tiger warmer, a good moxa stick, a corn bag, and a cup of Jasmine tea in the Christmas cup I got when I was in high school.

 

Sunday night pan popped popcorn

Blueberries!! Anything blueberry!

My parents started an angel collection for me when I was born, I now have angels from all over the world, this guy is one of my favorites.  He really speaks to me, I love presents as much as he does!

Games are a big part of our family, my back hall is dedicated to the art of a fine game!

Every since I was a kid I have loved books and bookshelves.  I love big tall old bookshelves filled with old books.






Living in the U P 

Big huge snowflakes, the kind that make you feel like you live in a snowglobe.  All of my favorite flowers are hiden under the snow, slowly preparing for their burst of color in a few months.

My Yoga practice.  I add an extra home practice this time of year.
