~ HOSTESS GIFT ~
I've been making these tasty spiced nuts for several years now...
they are quick and delicious and get rave reviews!
I am not sure if I have shared the recipe before?
I buy the big bags of nuts from Costco.
Did I mention how delicious these nuts taste?
These are from a cookbook that our local school put together many years ago.
SO YUMMY
I hope you enjoy them :-))
Am really surprised by the quality of Sonsie Skincare!
My rosacea has calmed and the redness has diminished.
The skin drinks up the serum and moisturizing cream.
Not greasy at all as it is absorbed right into the skin.
Sonsie reached out and sent me an email with a link that offers a discount with the code.
I don't usually do these things but I am over the moon with the products,
so thought it might be fun to share the 15% discount
to those readers who might be interested.
Please let me know if you try the products.
Wore the thrifted Butler bird brooch on my handknit sweater...
it makes quite a bold statement...it is bigger than most of my brooches.
I also wore in on a black boiled wool tunic top with black pants.
Such fun to add a wee bit of vintage BLING :-))
Some of the last garden roses...
the blooms are lovely but the usual fragrance is missing.
They will be sweet smelling again come Spring.
Went to the Church Hall for the Friday Sale...
found a VERY tarnished tea strainer.
(I thought it might even be pewter)
After some silver polish and a few minutes later...
Shiny silver
Surprise!!!
It is
Sterling Silver
The sale was well attended and it was a challenge to move about!
I found some nice ribbon for wrapping gifts.
My ribbon supply has almost been used up.
I love to use gross grain and satin ribbons...
but I don't always want to pay high prices for ribbon.
I do love a Bargain :-))
Revlon's Iced Amethyst 625 lipstick
bought to wear with my thrifted Eileen Fisher Velvet top.
I wore it to a dinner party last weekend.
I am still in shock that I found it in a thrift shop!!

Those are the BEST cookbooks!!
Hi Lesley, I'm sorry to hear that you are still suffering from your concussion, hope it gets better soon. You look so chic in your black and white outfit, right down to the pearl necklace! Have a very Merry Christmas!
Hello Leslie,
Nuts are a great gift and these sound delicious. I have one with other spices, but yours would be good to try.
I love the colour of the velvet top and the matching lipstick on you. Such a great colour - makes you sparkle!
I hope you continue to make progress with your health issues. They are never fun.
I love your blog. It feels like we’re visiting. I recognize that cookbook. I make the lemon loaf and Phil’s muffins. Ian loves the Russian potato soup.
I wanted to ask you about that lipstick. I’m going to go to Pharmasave and get some! Love seeing your thrift finds. It’s my favourite way to shop.
