This weekend I plan to be motivated.........I will start making the home more cozy as the temperature drops. I'll hang my heavier velvety drapes, pull out the chenille upholstered ottoman ready for some foot propping and romantic movie watching on cold, dark nights.......
I should crank up the sewing machine and whip some of those remnants into soft throws for the sofa..........................
................and today I shopped at Whole Foods for locally grown organic vegs. The soup kitchen will be in full swing this weekend................butternut squash & parsnip, Russian vegetable with Savoy cabbage, leeks, potatoes, carrots, Mulligatawny, and smoky red lentil with Cheddar toasts. The tureens will be filled.........................mine are all white but must say I fell in love with this beauty at an expensive beach gift shop last weekend - well at least I took a photo as I couldn't bring it home!

This is such a warm time of year. We are all like caterpillars wanting to wrap ourselves in our cocoons. I love that you change the drapes. I have always wanted to do this but don't have enough space to store things. Are you using the fireplace already?
ReplyDeleteI would have cried to leave that pretty pumpkin soup tureen at the shop. I am so weak to temptation of all things autumn.
Enjoy your weekend too dear Mary! Please stop by my blog and sign up for my birthday give~away.

Mary,
ReplyDeleteThose soups sound so delicious. It's going to be cold here this weekend so maybe I will make some Cabbage Stoup" from Rachel Ray. It is yummy and filling.
Don't you love going to Whole foods...such a total experience, sights, smells, tastes..

Oh I love that soup tureen. I don't have any, because they are too hard to store, but I love them.
ReplyDeleteI rarely cook anymore, but soup I do once in awhile.
Enjoy.
Sounds yummy! I'm up for some soup about now. It was 24 degrees when I woke up this morning - and I live in Georgia! The squash and parsnip soup sounds particularly nummy. Would you share the recipe?
