Spring on my Doorstep

IMG_4295Bye bye cashmere scarf, hide in the wardrobe my furry coat, in the closet my leather gloves, spring are you here? Bye bye red nose, go away dark rings, hello trendy sunglasses, spring is it you? Please enter my dear spring, bring with you my summer dresses and your warm evenings… Oh and just a thing my lovely spring: don’t forget to close the door on the cold winter!

Pretty Board and Dinner Planning

Oh, Courtney

I recently purchased a chalk board for the kitchen because I wanted to plan out the dinners for the week, plus it looks pretty damn cute! I would also like to make an effort to post the dinners for the week every week on The Oven Mitt. If a noteworthy dinner is in the works, it will definitely have it’s own post too. 🙂

This week, we’ll be having:
Sunday – Fend for yourself night
Monday – Homemade marinara sauce with penne pasta
Tuesday – Crunchy honey chicken with a salad
Wednesday – Turkey burgers with fries
Thursday – Chicken caesar salad
Friday – Burritos
Saturday – Dinner out with my family

Musings and ramblings, tonight I will ponder along with my moods, I will philosophe with my wine and I will dream away by the fireplace. Words, punctuation and emotions: please enter my thoughts, drop in my wine, and come out in black ink. Pages and dreams, writing and wine, tonight is a delight.

My Pretty Christmas Wrapping

photoQuick, quick, Santa is expected! A bit of pink ribbon, a wide cream crepe paper and lots of lovely stickers to create the prettiest Christmas wrappings! My lovely wrapped presents, you are my little works of art, too quickly ripped apart to unveil your Christmas secrets. My dear colourful little beauties, once again, you made the cold British winter that little bit better.

My dear wedding dress

My dear wedding dress, you will be made of lace and satin and tight around my waist. Pretty dress, you will dance around my legs on the sound of French serenades. Lovely white dress, soft colour to my skin tone, you will make him say yes and me the happiest.
