Knittnkitten's World

This week I found some tea towels that are the same spicy colors I’m looking to put in my kitchen. 

Then today we went to the farmers market and picked up some supplies for the week ahead.

Picked up some persimmons and macadamia nuts to make bread with.

Some fruit for with our cheeses.

A head of lettuce for sandwiches from left overs.

The pomegranate was just because!

Some beets for roasting, I steam the tops and toss them in balsamic vinegar, olive oil and fresh garlic.

The sprouts will make a casserole, remember that yummy recipe I made earlier this year?

I almost forgot these guys.

If you haven’t already, go check out your farmers market!

It’s that day again!

Saw this and couldn’t resist.

Don’t you love it.

Well yes indeed!

The Air quality here is pretty rough.

I woke up this morning to ashes all over my car.

None the less we manager to dig a hole and transplant the grape vine from it’s pot.

Yes I know it needs pruning but we figured one shock at a time.

We also relocated this little guy.

I think he was too close to the compost pile before and was getting his roots singed.

Here’s a new friend from the garden Don’t now his name but he’s really cute.

He might be an orchid but who knows.

This, believe it or not, is what charlie looks like when it blooms.

As you can imagine the flowers are tiny and the purple spots are like pin points.

Did a little tidying of my corner or the garage.

Still need to do some more, but it’s a start.

Here is a close up of some of my incenses.

For those of you who don’t know I used to work at Enchantments behind the oil counter.

Speaking of oils… 

I have a few of those too.

In other news Puppy took his Obama sticker off of his bumper, he only had it on a day when someone spat all over his car a couple of weeks back, and the way things seem to be going why risk another angry idiot who might key the car next time.

Stay safe!

…coming out of the super market and smelling smoke this time of year in CA to get you blood rushing and to create an instant desire to run home and check on the internet to find the source. Of the wall of yellow smoke gave us an idea of the direction of the fire so that when we did make it back it was no surprise to see that the fire was out of Corona, about 15 miles from here. Now I just wish I could stop sneezing.

Today the sky looks a bit like this…

Me thinks I will be doing me best to stay inside today.

This was a wedding gift from Bee and it is the founding plate in my collection.

It’s title is the Wedding and it’s from the Brambly Hedge collection.

As I only have a few plates this will be a monthly event.

For those of you wondering this weeks tea cup was English and from the Selby pottery.

I wonder what has changed their tune.

I love the way the black, gold and iridescent white look together!
