This is a very heartwarming book by my favourite author.

I must confess...

...that I have 4 of these in my bedroom


plus this one

and another one with a fabric shade and solid pink base. They didn't have these things back in the 50's so I am enjoying them now, haha. I just can't seem to fit into the pink toddler bed that matches, lol.

Rice Cooker Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

2 cups pasta - I use rigatoni
2 cups water
butter - 4 tablespoons or desired amount
old or extra old cheddar cheese or desired cheese
1/2 cup of milk or desired liquid

Place the pasta and water in the rice cooker and push COOK.
When the rice cooker turns to WARM check that the pasta is cooked.
Place the butter, cheese and milk in the rice cooker and stir everything.
Keep the rice cooker on WARM and check for doneness in 30 minutes.
The rice cooker will keep this for a few hours nicely and you can always add more liquid if you desire.
Serves 2-3.

Antique Large Primitive Pantry Cupboard Cabinet

I purchased this piece about 20 years ago in a little town called Ridgeway in Ontario, Canada. It was originally a baker's cupboard as far as I can tell...

My China

Back in '73 when I was getting married, my Mom picked out my china, lol. Old Country Roses by Royal Albert. I do love it but I would have picked pink roses! She picked it out for my sis and my sister in law, as well.

Complete 7pc Doris Dorie Dresser/Perfume Set

This beautiful dresser set was auctioned last year by Justin Time Auction. I have a collection of dresser pieces in pink as well as the pink lady dresser lamps that matched a lot of the jars. I would dearly enjoy owning a set like this!
