i SPY: Around My Home

Ashley from Little Miss Momma is continuing her weekly i Spy series with Favorite Things Around Your Home.  I will be linking up with her.
So without further ado, I bring you my favorite things as interpreted by my mood on my walk through my house this afternoon.

i spy dinner {soup} already cooking on the stove on this cold, rainy afternoon.

{i hate that pot, btw}

i Spy coffee. the nectar of the gods

and another type...

{if you are a red drinker, Apothic is one of my $10ish favorites. so good}

i spy fancy(ier) soap. 

little things like this make me happy.

i spy Happy{the dawg}, chillin'

i spy my children...

...peacefully reading...

...tickling the ivories...

...and following the rules

{i spy my lone little lefty!}

i spy grand works of art on display

 

and my current state of being. 

{not a fave, but it helps me live}

 

i spy my favorite wedding photo. and my love i married 10 years ago.

i spy our old glass doorknobs and skeleton key holes

i spy leaded glass windows. so charming. but so leaky in the cold winter.

i spy my newest sewing mess. 

and part of my happy milk glass obsession.

 

i spy a sign that i have children who are growing up {typed reports done on a laptop. that they know how to hook up to the printer. ack.}, but then again, children who are still young enough who adore an annoying as all get-out singing easter bunny from their great grandma.

i spy a reminder of a time when my babies were still babies.

sigh.

and finally...

i spy a stack of old, original Nancy Drew mysteries. 

my mom read these. my aunt did, too. as did i...many, many times.

and hopefully, someday my daughter will, too.

 

i spy a home that's lived in and loved in.

What about you?
