WHERE OH WHERE

Good Morning Prim Folk,  snow is gently falling outside my window as I post this, looks like a winter fairyland.  I do  love a snowfall, to me is so calming and beautiful.       So I found myself wanting to do some more Christmas decorating today with the blanket of fresh fallen snow..... I had ordered this  little antique skaters lantern,  they are the sweetest, I can imagine of days long ago children skating on a pond at night all aglow with these adorable small lanterns lite for them to see where they are skating.   When  one came up for sale on FB, was a little pricey,  but I thought about it all night long. Morning came, I emailed the gal asking her if she still had the lantern. Oh happy day, she did, so I have the sweet little lantern now.   I do have another one but not the same style, love them so. Now where to display the lantern. Do I hang it on the peg rack with the other one? with the old child's skates or leave it in the cupboard where I placed it when I received it?

 Kinda like both, so gals, where oh where do I put the sweet little lantern?   Would appreciate your feedback to help me make up my scattered mind.........Wishing you a cozy day, Blessings Francine.

Wishing all my American friends a Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy this wonderful holiday!!!!! Blessings Francine.

CELEBRATING

Good Morning Prim Folk,  I must say it is a frosty cold one here on this Wednesday......... Monday was my middle Sister's Birthday and also my older Sister's Wedding Anniversary, so we had to get together and celebrate with family.  We went over to my Sister's cozy apartment in the evening for fun, food and family, my favorite things.  Warms my heart always spending time with them, I really do not need an excuse to get together with my loving family. Her boyfriend's Birthday is coming up too, on the 28, so there was lots to celebrate together. Of coarse the fabulous Jennies cake was her cake of choice, Winnipeg's famous yummy cake, so so good.  Lots of laughs, many wonderful presents she received, all in all a great evening.  I adore my older Sister's, also a sweeter then honey Sis-In -Law, they are the best, caring, loving Sister's a little sis could ask for, I am blessed...........Thanks for popping in, wishing you a cozy day, Blessings Francine.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

Morning Prim Folk, hope your weekend is going great...... Mild day here today, but  it is grey and cloudy.  Our company left yesterday afternoon,  had a great visit with them, very nice house guests to have............ The other day my sweet Sis-In-Law was posting some oldie but goodie pictures of her family and ours, I love to look at the family pictures from long ago.  This one picture is of my Brother, two Sister's and me. It was taken at my Grandpa and Grandma's house in Dauphin, Manitoba.

  That is me in the tiny tub all by my lonesome while the others are having fun together in the bigger pool.  Wonderful memories of staying at our Grandparents house warms the heart. Wishing you all a cozy day, Warm Blessings Francine.

FROSTY MORNING

Greetings Prim Folk,  Happy Wednesday to you all.  It is a cool snowy day here in Winterpeg, but at least not as bad Buffalo N.Y, that is a lot of snow there, hope everyone is warm and safe, including the animals......   So this A.M. you will find me  curled up in my comfy chair with a hot cup of coffee and the latest issue of Country Sampler, all warm and cozy inside.  Also it is one of my favorite things to do, yummy smelling candle lite, all is good.  We are having company from out of town today till Saturday so will enjoy this morning all to myself.  Thanks for popping in, have yourself a cozy day too. Warm Blessings Francine.

FIRST SNOW

Morning Prim Folk,  is a chilly one here today, snowflakes a swirling, twirling outside as I type this. Woke to our fist dusting of snow here in Winnipeg, I have a feeling it is going to stay too. In came the month of November and along with it came the cold and snow.  But we are warm and cozy inside, sipping my hot cup of coffee.  So  now  with the snow falling out my window, 

I feel like pulling out the Winter/ Christmas goodies today  and start decorating the home for the Merry month...... Cozy Blessings Francine.

BLOOMING CHRISTMAS

Good Morning Prim Folk,  Happy Saturday to all of you sweet blogging friends...... I am off to work but wanted to show you how pretty my Christmas cactus is when in bloom.  I know, I think a little early  too but so beautiful.  It was given to me by my Sister's boyfriend who didn't want it anymore for it never bloomed for him. I said I will take it, give the plant a good home and hopefully will get the cactus to bloom. Well, looks like I did good, but the secret I believe is the old Yellow Ware bowl I planted it in. He gave it to me in a plastic plant pot, yuk, I don't do plastic.  I  had this  nice cracked  old bowl I have been hanging on too, love Yellow Ware, I   thought it would make  a good plant pot someday and will  go great with  my decor.  So my friends, that's why it is blooming today, old,  worn and loved is good, wink wink....Warm Blessings Francine.

WHEN YOU GET APPLES

Morning Prim Folk, hope all is well in your neck of the woods..... Not a bad day here, sun is trying to pop out in between the clouds....  Last week my Son gave me a bag of apples from his tree in his backyard.  Nice apples this year, smaller then usual but he had a great crop.  So I brought them home, said to Cam, lets get baking some pies.    I am by no means a cook, so off Cam went to the store and bought me two boxes of Tenderflake pie crusts. That's what I like, no fuss no muss.  So I ended up with two  apple pies and then with the left over apples, made a cobbler. Thanks Son, was a yummy treat, me loves apple pie.  

Wishing you a cozy Fall day, Warm Blessings Francine.

WELCOME NOVEMBER

Morning Prim Folk,  well, with Halloween over now,  time to say hello to the month of November.  I do like this month,  time to slow it down and start to make the home warm and cozy for the colder months ahead. Feathering  the nest I like to call it.   Out comes a worn quilt on my favorite chair  to cover my lap when the morning chill is in the air.  With the early darkness I have more candle glow in the house, always have one burning but now I find myself lighting a few more.  Also out come my dear friends, older books and magazines I enjoy to read over and over again.   Curling up with a good read, hot cup of cocoa or  coffee is a comfort  that I welcome in this comfy cozy month of November.   Warm Blessings Francine.
