This... I LOVE this:

THESE:
Old cookbooks. I guess I have a collection now :-P
This one is from France, from 1921
There's also this one, from Quebec early 60s
I bought it for a dollar... and when I brought it home, I found some treasures inside!! Look! :
Old handwritten recipes and lists, recipes torn from newspapers and magazines, etc!! LOVE it!!
And best of all:
An OLD pizzeria menu!! Click on it to make it bigger and see how ridiculously those prices are!!!
I had seen this next item at my thrift store and didn't buy....for the longest time! It sat there and I kept on going and seeing it, picking it up thinking it was adorable, but always putting it back, never buying it. I did this 3 or 4 times. WHY?? No clue. I guess I dont want clutter in my house anymore. But then one time I went there and it wasnt there anymore, and I was dissapointed! Kicking myself for not buying it previously! I turn a corner and what do I see? It was misplaced, but still there! YAY!! And the best part, it was just 25¢ after all! LOLOLOL!!
I mean, how seriously CUTE and kitschy is THAT? It has tons of drink recipes on it. And the turquoise matches my kitchen perfectly! :-P
Next up is the ultimate item that makes me smile:

I got a set of 6 of these for I believe 1,50$ at that same thrift store. What a steal. They make me SO happy just looking at them! LOVE them. Whenever we have dinner, I always make sure I get one of those plates! (We have various plates from different sets!)
Ok, one last thing for now...
This doesnt ALWAYS make me smile. It sometimes frustrates me, irritate me, tire me. But I know one day I will look back and smile....
... because yes, I'm the type of geek that keeps old calendars forever, to be able to look back on! :)
This year is just incredibly busy, we had to have a calendar system!
Dark blue or black is for Etienne
Light blue is for Xavier
Purple is for Bea
Important appointments are in red
other misc stuff in black
Between hockey practices and hockey games for EACH kid, referee-ing jobs for Etienne, games for DH, doc and other appointments, birthday parties, volunteering, events....We need this.
Next year I will be making my own calendar so it fits my kitchen :-P
So, what things around your house makes YOU smile?
I think it's so important to have such things.
I once read that in your home, you should only have things that you need and things that you like. :)

C'est drole, on a le même systeme de calendrier. Rose pour Miss C, vert pour Mr. F, mauve pour moi, bleu quand c'est les deux et orange pour Mr. Clown.
Au moins tu as des journée de livre (la semaine). Je prendrais une photo de mon calendrier cette semaine.
J'adore ton truck pour les drinks! Et les livres de recettes, j'adore les vieux, mais je n'ai plus de place!!! Mel
Love your spice racks! Maybe you should print out some cute labels too, those would be great on your racks.
Love your kitchen redo, you have been very busy. I'm going to start my Thrifty Monday party again in March, so come on back!
