I thought that it would be fun to join Patrice at Everyday Ruralty for Chats on the Farmhouse Porch.
Here are the discussion questions:
Do you eat eggs? What is your favorite way to serve them?
Do you have a favorite item that you really like having around? (a pillow, a chair, a sweater, a teddy bear, etc.)
I blog with tea close at hand @ my built-in kitchen desk.
Is most of the furniture in your home dark wood, light wood, painted, lacquered, or distressed?
Our art studio has a painted and distressed table, dark wood antiques, and a contemporary blond wood bookcase. White distressed dining chairs are in the dining room.
A dark wood, hand-painted table under a painted and distressed frame
A painted plate rack in our dining room
Please fill in the rest of this sentence. "I could write a book about____________."
If money and calendar/family obligations weren't an issue, would you prefer to spend next weekend at a Bed and Breakfast, a posh hotel, a cabin in the woods, or on a sailboat on a calm body of water? I guess the last thing, the sailboat, would have to be someplace warm. :) (It's 30+ degrees here.)
Fun Q & A!
And here's a little something for Wendell...a carrot bouquet from Healthy Gourmet Gifts.
What are you chatting about today?
Until next time...
Blessings!
Ricki Jill

I had to look up a coddled egg. Thank you for teaching me something today! I just love your blog header. It is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteOkay first, love the new header. Second I love this series. Your house is so pretty and light filled.
ReplyDeleteI bet Wendell is going to love your gift. They are the most thoughtful carrots I have ever seen. I just absolutely love your tea cup. I adore tea cups and am always buying pretty ones at the thrift store.
ReplyDeleteI really like your blue china shelf. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteHi RJ! Don't shoot me as I've never had a coddled egg and really don't know what it is. You've been fiddling with your blog's dress and it looks wonderful! Although I couldn't find your pretty little face! :) I'm also in love with that blue shelf!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I'd love a cabin in the woods getaway. Especially with a fireplace and a cool evening!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI love eggs! Yum. A weekend in FL sounds great. It's supposed to be 14 degrees here tonight!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post..enchanting images..gorgeous! and lovely thoughts to ponder!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful day!

Ricki, You have great answers. I think the egg cups are very pretty. I'm into blue and white dishes. I am also a habitual tea drinker. The beach at the Watercolor Inn looks so inviting. Now-please! Wendell is so happy with his carrot bouquet. Thanks for joining in!
ReplyDeleteThe idea of a cabin in the woods sounds right to me...except I'm afraid of bears! Your home is very much like mine with a mismatch of furnishings. If I like it, it stays!
ReplyDeleteLove your new blog design!
XO,
Jane
That was fun! I always enjoy learning more about you.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful mug. I enjoy a cup of tea after supper but have yet to find the perfect mug. I love the egg cups too. My grandfather always used one. I wish I still had it.

ReplyDeleteFun party! My favorite eggs are scrambled French style. My favorite photo of your house......your cart full of MacKenzie-Childs.........Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Ricki Jill, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of coddled eggs but had never seen a coddled cup. It's quite beautiful. I love learning something new so I read up about them and now I know more about them.
I love your answers and the creative way that you have visual aid to expand on your answers.
Have a great rest of the week.

I don't think I have ever had a coddled egg either Ricki:) Beautiful mug and egg cup too! Nice finding out more about you!
ReplyDeleteI have never had coddled eggs I will have to give them a try. I love the carrots!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy learning more about blogging friends, enjoyed this! Also, love your blue plate rack, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a GREAT week!
What's a coddled egg? Is this something like pooched eggs? Either way, I haven't had eggs prepared in this fashion. I love hot tea, especially when I first get up. Usually after that, I drink coffee. I'm more of coffee drinker than tea, but I enjoy both daily. I love the mixtures of light, dark, painted woods in your home. I know one day when I do an entire make over, then I want to incorporate whatever strikes my fancy. When we first started decorating then we kept thing closely the same - boring! Thanks for connecting with me yesterday on Patrice's farmhouse porch! Now following...~Cathy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bouquet for Wendell! And now I have to go research coddled eggs, never heard of that one!
ReplyDeleteI love tea, too! Fedora and I just had an impulse-buy shopping spree at a tea store here called Teavana, and we've been having 4-5 cups per day. (we may even be having a tea-centric swap this year!)
ReplyDeleteI love your plate rack! I've never seen something like that...how absolutely brilliant. That's definitely going on my future-home-decor list. Thanks! :D
I need to try those coddled eggs some time. And I have noticed that lots of people have quite a mixture of furniture in their homes. It's really quite popular to do so. Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat carrot bouquet has to be the cutest thing I've seen lately. I'm pinning it.

Just saw my picture here of the carrot bouquet I created for one of my fantastic and very creative customers. How wonderful and thank you for showing it. Isn't it fun!
