No Place Like Home # 14


There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort. ~ Jane Austen



Hello dear friends and welcome to No Place Like Home!

We had another snow storm the other day so I made some 'storm cookies.' These being Spider Cookies. Some folks may call them chocolate macaroons but they're not as chewy as a macaroon. You may check out my recipe here.



We just finished painting our kitchen-dining rooms on the weekend. It's really good to have that job done. Got some spring cleaning done along with it. 



Last Friday as I mentioned earlier in my post, we had another snow storm and I was dreaming about summertime. I set out a tea in pink using my summery teacups, pink teapot, and pink tulips. We munched on spider cookies too. 
More snow is on the way including blizzard warnings. My imagination helps to whisk me away from it all. You may check out that post here.



Now on to my features. You all share so many wonderful ideas and recipes each week. You really are a talented group of ladies and I am grateful for your participation.

Lord, this humble house we'd keep
Sweet with play and calm with sleep.
Help us so that we may give
Beauty to the lives we live.
Let Thy love and let Thy grace
Shine upon our dwelling place. - Edgar A. Guest
