A blast from the Past The Bistro Atlanta 1980's

March is coming in like a lion....but springing is blooming

Lenten Roses first signs of spring....hope the blooming flowers inspire people to clear out their attic, spring clean their homes and take their precious cast offs to their favorite thrift stores for me to find. 2013 is proving to be a good year for thrifting.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Did not post at all from across the pond, due to jumping from family to family and a little bout with food poisoning.... Hope everyone had happy holidays. I will start posting pics soon....Above pic is of Canterbury Cathedral.

 

Well the bags are packed, tickets bought, cars rented all that is left is a couple of nights sleep and a drive to Atlanta to the airport and away we go!

Not a permanent move yet but I really hope this short trip home lights a blazing inferno under the Misters behind and across the pond we go permanently sooner than later.

I can't wait to share pictures of England at Christmas with all of you......

Happy Thanksgiving.....

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and I learned a few good lessons do not listen to Celebrity Chefs and before you rely on a dessert you have never made before, make it ahead of time and try it!

All passports are here and tickets bought so England here we come....it has been 16 years since we have set foot on English soil and our teenage son has never been...hope he likes it there since we will be picking up roots and moving as soon as possible. Got to get my Indefinite leave to remain first which looks like may take up to a year. So as soon as we return I need to get started on the process.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and see you real soon........

Today I started packing up the linen closet, who knew we had so many sheets! so far I have packed 6 -44qt totes of linens. Granted we have a large linen closet and a lot of our linens are vintage,  I could never part with them...I am now more than 1/2 through, it looks as if 2 more totes will do it. Will have to get a few space bags for the comforters and the linens should be done ! I did take a car load to my favorite Charity thrift store, my loss their gain.

also checked the US Passport service and although they have removed the passport fees from our account no news on our passports...I hate the waiting game!

Hope you all had a marvelous Monday! see you again real soon.
