The Heart of the Home

When you walk through the entrance way, you walk into my kitchen
I am always amazed at the beautiful glowing light that shines out
My husband made the table 25 years ago
The wood panels are all recycled
The black and white lino, is just as good as when we laid it all those years ago  
I still use my wood stove to cook on and heat water daily
It is my heart, and makes me smile, it is a joy to come home to
I  cook very simple meals here 
And many interesting chats have been had around the table.
I thought you might like to view it.

  Love and light   Marie

  4. Hi Michele, The stove does not generate a lot of heat, outwards, and I am not making or stirring too much in the summer months, so much lighter meals. It has a beautiful warmth in winter though. cheers Marie

  15. Love at first sight is the ONLY way to describe how my heart leapt at the sight of your perfect kitchen.

    Thank you so much for sharing this and I will never lose this blog in our immense blogging world. I'll keep checking on you. I found you through my friend Beth Curtin's Acorn Pie blog (which I love too).

    Your husband did a superb creation!

  16. P.S. I have tried to push the follow button, but keep getting a thing from Google that says the URL is too large----whatever that means?? I'll keep trying. The only way to not lose someone is to follow and keep checking your favorites. Keep your fingers crossed and YES, you do bring light into this life.
