WEEKENDING: FRIENDSHIP

But oh! the blessing it is to
 have a friend to whom one
 can speak fearlessly on any
 subject; with whom one's
 deepest as well as one's
most foolish thoughts come
 out simply and safely.  Oh,
 the comfort - the inexpressible
comfort of feeling safe with a
 person - having neither to
 weigh thoughts nor measure
 words, but pouring them all
right out, just as they are,
chaff and grain together;
certain that a faithful hand
 will take and sift them,
 keep what is worth keeping,
 and then with the breath
 of kindness blow the rest away. 

 ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859

weekending, my favorite part of the week. a time to relax, live, love, just to be. if you'd like to share your weekend either with words, photographs, or both, leave a link to a weekend post in the comments. Joining with Amanda for her weekending post.

Spent another Saturday in

Charleston, this time browsing

the thrift stores with a very

dear friend who I don't see

often enough. I brought home

the cutiest pair of pink Ann Taylor

heels and a Chenille Bedspread

just like the one my Nanny always

had on her bed. I love that it is

in mint condition and I only paid

$2.99! I came home to a house

that was still clean and my

guy's had even cleaned their mess

up in the kitchen! Maybe they have

been listening to me and I won't have

 to apologize to their future wives!

Sunday was a trip to the market

which I dislike doing,but sometimes

it's necessary if I want to prepare

the dinner's I have planned for the

week. I made a fresh pumpkin pie

and will be making many more of these

in the future. I love the hint of honey

and the taste of fresh pumpkin that

isn't overpowered by spices. I managed

to get a sock cast on the needles and

am almost ready to start the heel, if

I can remember how! Rain has settled

in for the next few days so I see a lot

of knitting in my future. How was your

weekend? xx
