I also made some yummy rice krispy treats.
I was able to make it into our wood fired sauna this week after nearly 6 months of recovery from my broken femur. I couldn't risk it when it was too snowy out there. Oh it was lovely! I rested on deck, listening to the spring birds sing.
Speaking of spring birds....our chickens are laying again. Time for egg salad sandwich, topped with sliced cabbage. This helps with digestion...ahaha.
I met a fellow blogging friend, who came out to my shop/office on Tuesday for a nice visit. She even came with a treat! Thanks for the delicious coffee cake. This photo of her son's little tree was sent to me by another customer. All the needle felted ornaments, I made. I love when customers share what they buy from me and how they use it.

We've been working on 2 small estates. I was looking up and checking prices for some pieces. I couldn't believe the sold prices, so I googled "are home interior figurines in for 2026?" I guess so! I can see the trend leaving minimalism back to individualized, curated spaces. Not the cluttered 1980/90's, but the heart of the trend is from that time period. Even what was collected and the color schemes.
I was able to do my aqua therapy. The pool is closed for 2 weeks for maintenance and cleaning starting today. My most productive days of the week usually are Monday - Wednesday. Then it's back to this....
"PUTTERING" around. I did keep up with the boxes. Yesterday, I found something pretty special. I forgot I even did it. I'm going to complete it and gift it to my daughter, Anna. It has to do with her cancer testimony.
It's Friday Fish Fry in Wisconsin. This is a BIG DEAL here. Is it that way by where you live?
O.k. off to work on boxes. Have a great weekend. Keep working on doing what you love.
Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.
The Easter/spring table is delightful, and I love the 'dilly dally' background.
ReplyDeleteThanks - Dilly Dally is the best!
DeleteFriday fish frys are all around here too. What a treat to see how your customer decorated your sweet felted items. Kudos for you also on enjoying your sauna once again. Hope you can enjoy it more often now. Janice
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like that she shared it too. I plan to do a Sauna today!
DeleteGlad to see curated spaces are coming in. A minimalist I am NOT! And I always love it when people bring pie that is not a dessert to an event like that. Your Easter tree is darling!
ReplyDeleteI like savory pies too! I am NOT a minimalist either. Thanks.
DeleteYour church potluck sounds yummy. Growing up, the teeny, tiny, church we went to had potlucks quite often. It was so small that you knew exactly whose casseroles/desserts you liked and whose to avoid after a while ... and because you could recognize what they typically brought and/or their dishes, it wasn't difficult. i'm glad to hear you managed to use the sauna as I know how much you enjoy it. Sad that we're now back to snow today. Gah! Hope you enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was snowing yesterday. I do know what you mean about whose to avoid (wink, wink). I hope to sauna today. Thanks.
Deletei am lucky enough to have many things i love and the time to devote to them. today i did a little coloring and tonight i will knit!! that cooktop is a great idea and i am sure it helps a lot. i got a stool for the kitchen but it didn't work out too well!! love the easter tree, i used to do one but have not the last few years...i should gift my ornaments to someone!! have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThe cooktop is such a help for me to feel like I'm contributing something by still cooking something now and again. I hope you have a great weekend too. Thanks
DeleteThat sauna must have felt like a million bucks! I remember my first hot shower after Hurricane Andrew felt like that. Priceless, really.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your puttering, dilly-dallying, and just being still all weekend long.
Thanks, I hope to Sauna today too. It's cold here this morning and a hot sauna will feel good. Oh, I'll be puttering. You too. Thanks.
DeleteYou look so happy in the sauna. I'm glad you were able to sit and enjoy it and the birds too. Makes me smile every time I hear them.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the home interiors. I suppose some 'influencer' must have liked them and started a new trend. It always amazes me how much people pay for certain things! I suppose I'm just too cheap lol.
I hope you have a lovely week!
It was wonderful and I was truly happy to be able to get in it. It is a step up, but I managed. As someone who works with estates and selling, I am always amazed at prices. What you think should be more, sells for less and vice versa. I returned some unsold glass to a client and she took them to a thrift shop. The owner knows me and my online sales. She said to my client "well, if Jacky can't sell it, no one will. She can sell anything." I just laughed when she told me.
DeleteThe sauna must have felt wonderful! Your meals look absolutely scrumptious!
ReplyDeletePot luck gatherings are so much fun and there is always delicious food as well!
The Easter bunnies are so cute! Lovely illustration at the end of your post.
Linda, it was wonderful. Thanks, I love to cook, darn hands don't want to cooperate with me. I did find a way.
DeleteThere is nothing quite like a warm wood-fired sauna and the sound of birds to make a person feel brand new again. A Friday fish fry is a classic tradition that always brings folks together for a good meal and even better company.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right on both accounts. Thanks for the comment.
