Well, I was going to share my weekend with you yesterday, but after my day in the cupboard, I just couldn’t.
It was my date night this weekend and I took Mr. Michie to the movies! It was so much FUN! I can’t tell you the last time we went to a movie in the evening, we are usually afternoon movie goers.
We saw OZ. We both really enjoyed it, I thought they did a nice tie in of the elements, the costumes were beautiful and I only wish she was real because the little girl the “wizard” helps save in China Town, I could just take home with me, she was so cute!
We grabbed some breakfast before going grocery shopping on Saturday morning:
Then I spent the rest of Saturday preparing Sunday’s lunch. I made my Nana’s macaroni salad, my dad’s green bean salad and homemade yeast rolls.
On Sunday we baked a ham and I tried a new peach cobbler recipe. It was delicious! I made a few changes, by adding some cinnamon and a little bit if lemon zest to the peaches, like I would do if I was making a pie.
I have been reading a series of books at the moment that take place in the South (The Caster Chronicles) and after reading what Amma has been cooking, I was hankering after a little Southern Home-style dinner myself. There was even sweet tea to boot!
the REAL girl says:
Look at you in the kitchen!!!! We were thinking of going to see OZ over the weekend, but didn’t. We stayed at home and worked and worked on building plans….we’re a bit stuck, but more on that in an email to come.
Your setting is precious. I love the …. I love it all!!!
dots, peaches, the little scalloped small plate, the green glass.
You’re a cutie-patootie you are!

Jennifer Michie says:
Thank you! My set is from France. It was very romantic, I saw it in a magazine and Mr. Michie liked it too and when we were in Paris he took me to the store and bought me 6 place settings.
I couldn’t have been more happier, if I tried. I have a thing for china. I can’t help it, but I have a lot of it, here and there.
The green glasses were an anniversary gift to each other, we bought a set of 6 and the polka dots belong to a piece of Emma Bridgewater pottery I have. They are my favorite things to use, they bake, cook and clean-up like a dream!
