Another Day, Another Garland
Another day, another garland. This one (plus 30 tiny star
ornaments) are from Target. I ordered them last week just in case I
couldn't find them at our store when the Christmas things come out.

A Day with a Goddaughter
I was lucky to spend the day with one of
my beautiful goddaughters today! We were very productive: we baked apple
bread (recipe from the Wall Street Journal), cleaned the bird cage,
read all of the Angelina Ballerina books I have in my possession, made
lunch together (bratwurst in sautéed onions and peppers, potato salad,
pickles, and macaroni and cheese with bunny pasta), worked on coloring
pages, rode her scooter, and watched several episodes of the old
Angelina Ballerina cartoon. It was nice to spend time with a
three-year-old again!

Bouquet Garni
I
just put together a garland of bouquet garni. Most of them are made of
parsley and rosemary, but I also have several of parsely and sage. I'll
use these little bundled herbs in soups and stews and maybe even on our
Sunday roasts. I had never heard of bouquet garni before, but @rue.dauphine.paris
mentioned making them to use in her kitchen a few weeks ago and they
intrigued me! I'm debating where to store these once they're dry: In the
cupboard with my spices? Maybe hanging near my braided garlic? For now,
I'll enjoy them as a garland in the dining room.

A Little Bathroom Upgrade
We put up new window film in the master bathroom! I love the change and feel
like it's a better match for the tile and general style in here. Everything feels more
elegant and cohesive now. The film is from Artscape, which can be
purchased both online and at Home Depot (maybe other places too, I'm not
sure). We needed two different coordinating types because of our window
sizes.

Improvements at the Rectory
I really love the changes that we made this year to the garden (espaliered pyrocatha bushes) and eterior of the rectory. Painting the walls and painting the shutters and doors sage green made such a gigantic difference. I feel like it has really elevated the look of the rectory and I feel such joy when I see it now!

Antique Marble Pastry Table
Eeek! I spotted this dream of an antique
marble pastry table on Facebook Marketplace yesterday and it is ours
today! I have seen tables like this for sale several times and they have
always been too expensive or fallen short in some way. This one was
exactly what I wanted, the correct size, and right in our budget. It can
be used in multiple ways and is currently acting as my desk. I am so
thankful to my husband for seeing my vision, driving to get it with me,
and helping to set it up!
