Blue Skies Smiling at Me

 

Blue skies smiling at me,

Nothing but blue skies do I see....

It's truly a gorgeous day here on Lake Superior!

A brisk wind is blowing, it's -2C, but the lake is just as blue as blue can be!

I didn't do much today. But  for some unknown reason I can't explain I felt inspired to clean the copper I have hanging on the pot rack.

 When it turned out so well  this then lead to cleaning my silver!

I know it's no longer in vogue to polish your silver , which was alright with me since it's not my favorite of chores to do.

In truth I wanted to be sure that my silver wasn't beyond cleaning. After all this time I wondered if there was a point of no return for tarnished silver.

I'm very happy to report that mine had not reached that point. Yeah!

 

 

Now that my MIL is back from Southern Michigan, she and I have been making our regular weekly  trips in to Value village. Most times I come home empty handed,  but last week I found three treasures I couldn't resist.

 

I don't know if I've told you how much I love old flannel blankets. I have a couple that have been passed down to me, they both have a blue stripe at the top. So I was thrilled to find one with sweet flowers, something I had never seen before.

And I nearly jumped out of  skin when I spotted this tiny blue Pyrex container.

 

It matches perfectly with my blue Pyrex cup and saucer set.

And honestly, there was no rhyme or reason to buy this ceramic foolishness.. But with those begging eyes, tell me, could you have left the sweet fellow behind?

 

Well that, my friends, is the long and short of my exciting week. Surely you did something more news worthy than polish your silver.

Please tell me, how was your week?
