| can't wait to read this one! |
 |
| and last but not least, this is my kitchen! Well a corner of it anyway! the space filled with books is meant to be for a microwave but I love my books too much so the microwave went downstairs |
You will love A Distant Feast - I must reread when our stuff comes out of storage. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read it rachel. Why is your stuff in storage?:)
DeleteWhat a nice little glimpse into a corner of your kitchen Sherry :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine. I do love my little galley kitchen !
ReplyDeleteWhat a divine silver cake fork!! I love it.
ReplyDeletethanks francesca. and it was amazingly cheap compared to other antique stores i have been in.
DeleteThat olive pot... what a lovely friend! I really enjoyed the peek into your kitchen, and I especially love where you've stored your cook books!
ReplyDeletethanks lisa. yes she is a great potter and makes lots of lovely stuff. my kitchen is full of it.
Deletei am afraid the microwave just didn't cut it for me, taking up so much room so it really had to be downgraded to the downstairs kitchenette:)
You can check out my friend's pottery here: http://www.brookeclunie.com/index.html
Lots of goodies here indeed! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you:)
DeleteWhat wonderful treasures in your kitchen and how special to have a gift made for you - the olive pot is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHave a super day.

ReplyDeleteYes Kari I figure it is good exercise anyway!

ReplyDeletehi ardys

G'day! Love your llama and thanks also for this month's kitchen view!
ReplyDeleteCheers! Joanne
thanks for dropping by joanne.
DeleteSherry - I have an almost identical cake fork that I bought 2nd hand but I can tell that yours is in better condition as a lot of the plate has worn off mine. Still, it gets plenty of use. I love the way you have styled this post via the photos and captions. Clever you! xx
ReplyDeletethanks for your kind comments fiona. i love this little fork- it is so sweet and i thought remarkably cheap considering i have paid much more for similar things in other shops. maybe you have been there? it is an antique shop full of silver and other things on Nudgee rd.
DeleteLove your kitchen esp the book shelves and I am admiring of you being able to include two items with your blog name on it.
ReplyDeletethanks johanna . I hadn't thought of the name thing- clever me!:)
DeleteSherry, your kitchen looks like a very nice space to spend time in! I LOVE that little fork, and how wonderful is that olive oil pot that your friend made for you. Lucky you! :)
ReplyDeletethanks celia. i do love my kitchen. there is a big picture window over the sink looking out to the back yard trees and another big window near the stove so plenty of light and air. i was very lucky to find that fork and extra lucky to have a good friend who is a wonderful potter.:) x
DeleteGood call moving the microwave to make way for cookbooks! Look inviting. I have 300 cookbooks and value everyone of them.
ReplyDeleteyes my cookbook collection is growing and growing. i love "em to bits.
DeleteWho needs a microwave anyway! Oh and I can't wait to try my lemon infused EVOO! I've got another couple of weeks! Thanks for sharing! Liz x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Liz.
DeleteSherry, that's a marvelous use for 'microwave' space -- I like your idea better than the original intent! Your French spatula and beautiful serving fork will make 'dishing up' a pleasure, and ohhhhh that lil' olive pot... love it! Thanks for sharing peeks of your cookbook collection, too.
