to wrap a bit
of red&white baker's string
around
my
water bottle
as i dash out the door for the gym!

i know....


but
pretty should follow us
every where we go,
don't you think?

You gotta know I want those Royal Blue boots. I must have a shoe thing... And what a perfect way to start the weekend with a cookie all wrapped up in cand-ie striped yarn. My kind of treat in more ways than one.

Sweet Weekend Wishes, Stay Warm

GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS ONE! Oh, I am so late....what falling asleep on the couch can do to a blogger! MISSING OUT ON ALL THE GREAT POSTS! Oh Koralee, I am so tired. But next week is our last week and we are gonna have fun. My sweet kids are just the cutest things.....one little girl gave me a WONDERFUL coupon book from one of our most POSH malls....woo hoo! Another little girl gave me a pack of my favorite gum...DOUBLE WOO HOOO!!! And their smiles just make me melt to nothing. WE ARE GETTING BLASTED BY A TON OF SNOW TODAY so I will be working on my blog post that I should have already had but I was so busy this week with our home addition and it is looking wonderful! Pictures to come and a post when all is ready.

MILLE BISES MA BELLE! Anita

Barbara said...

I like your Friday pretties, Koralee. I MUST steal your red and white baker's string idea. How clever and cute!

Privet and Holly said...

I am absolutely
smitten with this
string and bought
a big spool this
year to use on my
packages! I hope
that your weekend
is filled with all
the pretties that
you can fit in!!
Merry, merry weekend,
dear Koralee.
xx Suzanne

Susan said...

Those cookies look so yummy and I love them tied up in string! Your wreath is simply perfect, and so is a dusting of snow as you're picking out your Christmas tree!
My day got brighter as I opened my mail today! I'm sure your card will be the favorite of any I receive this Christmas season! I haven't even written mine yet! One year I sent Happy New Year cards to everyone on my Christmas list and another year, Valentines! Oh, dear! So much to do and so little time for making real all the plans & ideas in my head! Wishing you nothing but delightful days leading up to the sweet celebration of our Savior's birth!
Thanks for all the joy you bring to this world sweet friend!
Blessings!

I Love Pretty Little Things said...

Oh My Goodness! Those cookies look sooo Yummy! I am going to try to make some this Christmas. And, I had never even heard of eatable bakers string before- Love It!!!

Sorry that I am so late catching up with Friday Pretties. I was "Computer Free" on my trip so that I wouldn't even be tempted to disengage from the real live people sitting in front of me. :) It was nice, but I missed checking in with all of my Friday Girls! So, I am going to try to catch up in the next couple of days before Friday shows up again.

Love,
Joyce
P.S. Where you in New York this weekend?
