Using Your Best…

/2 Comments/in , /by

Good Morning Everyone,


You know… it just dawned on me that I am starting year 7 for the blog. Wow… I have been doing this 7 years already. With all of the issues and concerns in the world going on today I think our minds are just on overload. 


While it seems that the world is going crazy, I am still trying to live my life the way I want to. The photo above is a little shopping that I did at Homegoods. I have not been to Homegoods since February. It felt wonderful just walking around. I have been on the lookout for hand towels for my home. 


I am still trying to use my best…. every day. 


These pink towels have been the rave on the LiketoKnowit app. I was very pleased to find them for only $10 when they are selling for $60 on Wayfair. 


I am a true believer in using your best things. I have written about it since I started this blog.




A beautiful Waterford table linen that I found at Homegoods for only $22. I love the hydrangea detail. 



I think that if your heart requests beautiful things you will receive them. 




I placed it on our table at home…. why not use it? 






I made a roasted chicken dinner and I pulled out my Royal Albert Old Country Roses dinner plates. My husband always says, “oh we get to use these tonight”. I tell him these are no different to me than the other plates we have. I want my family to get use to this. Use your best always…..



Enjoy your day!

    Hey Mrs. Shockley,
    Those are great finds. Oh my word I love the tablecloth.
    You did a blog post awhile back and mentioned "new tea towels " for the kitchen. And I realized mine were a few years old and run down. I also went to Homegoods this last weekend and found beautiful tea towels and dish cloths. So nice to refresh simple things in the home. Lastly, the Victoria Tea Set arrived yesterday. Such a beautiful set. Can't wait to use lemon balm, mint, and chamomile from my garden for tea.
    Have a lovely week,
    Mya

      Hi Mya,
      Thank you! I was so excited to see the tablecloth. Oh yay, you made it to Homegoods. Doesn't it feel good to be able to walk around again? Having new towels does feel like a refresh! So glad you were able to get some.
      Your new tea set came?!!! Yay! Don't you love it? I know I do! How lovely, you have your own herbs to use. I'm jealous. Send pictures to me on Instagram if you can!
