1. I like paintings, and admire trompe l'oeil, paintings that fool the eye. This was under a bridge in the town of Frederick. Believe it or not, it's just a painting.
We went to the city of Frederick Saturday night for their "first Saturday" Christmas event. There were lots of musicians, the stores were open and full of glee (also wine, cookies & cider) Here is more cow art

| that bag says, "Happy Everything" |
The shop owner said it was just a pressure curtain rod with strings of lights hung (looped) over it.
She gave us hot cider and told us all about living in Frederick.
I really like that city.
8. I like listening to books on cd while I'm in the studio. Just listened to another by author Susan Wiggs, called The Apple Orchard. Since starting the blog I keep track of a most books I read on my
Book Reviews page here
I read two books at once: by listening to one in the studio, and reading one in bed at night.
9. I like the tv series "Murdoch Mysteries" filmed in Canada.
The 9th series just became available on disc, and thankfully our library had it! Yea! Like an old friend.
It is set circa 1899 and has terrific fun who-done-it's we can't figure out til the end. The show foreshadows future inventions, has characters from history, is intelligently written and fun to watch.
The show has strong female leads too.
10. I Like studio tours and enjoyed Anne's bright and happy sewing space, check out this page of posts with pics of her studio

11. I liked this Zuni Native American man I interviewed this weekend in New Market MD. He is Zuni but also carries Navajo art.

They all have meanings which he will share with you.
For instance the bear is for strength, introspection and spiritual journey through life. My husband likes the wolf, teacher, sharing knowledge, pathfinder. The little stone is a reminder of what you want to manifest.
There is more to like but I'll stop here.

Oh I love Murdoch mysteries, and I agree with your list how can you not love all of those things?
ReplyDeleteI'm a liking this week too, LeeAnna! Love the idea of the lights on the window (might do that next year). Lots of fun things that you liked! You made me want to visit Frederick!!! I loved your Xmas trees too (previous post). But the post also made me cry. I am holding you both in my heart this holiday season. Keep busy and many many hugs!
ReplyDeleteLike that photo of the lights on a pressure/tension rod in the shop windows. I like peppermints, too - but I'm trying HARD to resist all the temptation in the stores this year so I don't gain 10 lbs. like I usually do in Dec. Super cute cow holiday pillow!
ReplyDeleteLindt truffles are awesome. Love those cows. What fun!
ReplyDeleteThat cow pillow is great! I also like the coat- No waistline here but I've been admiring lots of coats lately with slightly unconventional shapes and that one looks very cool!
ReplyDeleteI loved The Apple Orchard, too! The Beekeeper's Ball has some of the same characters and is good, too. I enjoyed your tour of the Christmas event in Frederick! So many fun things to see and do. The lights hanging on the curtain rod are a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteThat window with hanging lights is fabulous! Makes me want to be more festive...who am I kidding...makes me become festive! Now to go find some howliday decorations to put out so I can ditch the Bah-Humbug feelings! Thanks for inspiring me. ღ
ReplyDeleteLove those cows! You need to finish your cow quilt because it will be just as fun as that art. I LIKE having my Christmas tree lights twinkling this time of year. It makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteIt's Thursday already. Yikes! Lindor truffles-yes, but I hope you meant mousse and not mouse. Love your lists, don't stop.
ReplyDelete
Delete"why yes I meant mouse... doesn't every one eat Christmas mouse? In white chocolate? " lol
I need a proof reader! Thanks and I changed it.
I loved your post today you made me feel smart I do not spell well never have BUT I think I noticed a word out of place ( of course I could be wrong )
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure you don't eat MOUSE
<<<<<<2. I like Candy. I try not to eat candy but I'm back on the sugar wagon. These are worth the cost! White chocolate around a mouse of heaven mixed with peppermint. >>>>>>
Gosh I read mousse...you fixed it didn't you?
ReplyDeleteI love Lindor's Chocolates of any kind. I'm not eating anymore for a while though. I joined WeightWatchers, and LOST 5.6 pounds last week! I need to get healthy again. My spirit animal or totem is a dragonfly...not an animal I know, but still very much my spirit. I love native things, I suppose it's a good thing I am surrounded by reservations here.
I love the cow pillow and silhouettes.
Gorgeous coat, chocolates to die for, and lovely decorations--you've got that holiday spirit LeeAnna! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. It is much appreciated! best, nadia
ReplyDeleteLove your "likes" postings; I like being able to see the signs on the road now; but not liking the loss of near vision--reading glasses on a chain around my neck--such a drastic change. Not quite back to quilting or crafting yet--2nd eye still "repairing" itself--amazing the human body's abilities for self-repair...hugs and Merry Christmas to you and yours....Julierose
ReplyDeleteOh, Frederick is a lovely town! There are lots of trompe l'oeil paintings there - I took pics of a couple that I found while we walked around. And full of interesting shops, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Murdock mysteries heads-up! Looks like my cup of tea!
I like...your lists! Feeling a bit out of sorts recently, but these posts always cheer me up and remind me how much there is to be grateful for.
ReplyDeleteJust your kind of place, full of interesting things. Check out my I Like Thursday's post at http://paulabquilts.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteWonderful wonderful post LeeAnna, so true that we need good things these days. So many many things I relate to here! Love of cows (I did the same cow block you did last year, mine are unset, and I have 1/2 of the last one to finish, plus a bull), love horses, my uncle had a team of Percherons which I believe are those in your photo, LOVE dogs, books, Lindt! have 3 kinds in my house as I type, trompe l'oeil, yes! (you got the French correct too - I was a French teacher), and uncanny, I just bought a Dreamcatcher for my grandson last week in a local Native American Arts store, and I'm Canadian, live 4 hours south of Toronto, where Murdoch Mysteries are filmed. (however, I have never watched the show, need to change that!)
ReplyDeleteLOVED your post and checked out the link to Spring Leaf Studios and WOW! What a lovely and bright space! I just told my husband, "I'm ready to paint my studio walls white!" He said he's up for it....I just might take him up on that! :) We'll see! :)
