odds and ends

little one had her first cup of tea this morning. i brewed a pot of decaf black tea, added some milk and honey to hers, and told her she could have tea just like mama. it warmed my heart to drink tea with my girl. i look forward to many more tea times together as she grows.

i have found several thrifting and curbside gems lately.

a like new rocking horse for $10 at a thrift store. it wags it's tail! i looked it up when we got home and found that this horse sells for $100 to $120 new!


a {free} spice rack from the curb. i washed it and it's now filled with spices.


a {free} playground from another curb. it is the perfect size for our porch and our girl. we have already spent many hours enjoying this find.


other things i am loving...

i am taking this sourdough ecourse. i really enjoy it. my starter is six days old today and is thriving. i'm going to start cooking with it soon. maybe this weekend!


this salad. yum.

our walk this morning. we went right after breakfast, in the crisp morning air. it was quiet and lovely.

i'm not loving the fruit fly problem we are having right now. but i am loving the solution i found somewhere online. pour some white vinegar in a bowl, add a small amount of dishsoap, and fill the bowl with water (do this quickly so you get a lot of soap suds on top...that's the crucial part of the whole thing, i have learned). they are attracted to it and drown. it really works.


and these little toes.
