Oh my....I feel like I was at Mumford-your house is gorgeous, and I love all the cooking things and the food! (We live about 80 miles from Mumford-been there 5 times I think)It's always nice to visit your blog! Glad the Mousiekins are having a party too!
What a fun post! I wish we had an outdoor place to cook, since we are without a stove or oven until the landlord's father finishes fixing them. At least we have a crockpot, a griddle, and a toaster to work with! :)
I don't know how I missed this one Linnie. The meal was as much fun to create as it was to eat, I daresay. That outdoor stone fireplace, wow! I think your room is just gorgeous and worthy of a magazine layout.. all that copper and the Windsors and fireplace mantle, just perfect and cozy and historic.
Food always tastes better when cooked outdoors, and in a cast iron pot - even better! I especially love that you show in your "story pictures" how you baked cornbread. What a lovely feast, thank you for sharing! I followed you here from my blog today, having just discovered you joined a while back and so I've joined your blog now, too. I can see its very warm and friendly here - I think I'll pull up a chair and stay awhile! Cindy from TheCranesNest.com
I am tickled to see that the Mouskin family is in on the historical fun too! Your copper collection is a fabulous Americana tribute while my copper collection is from France. And I agree that food + family = memories that last a lifetime. I can't smell or taste oregano without traveling back for a few moments to my childhood when my uncle made the best family cookouts ever.
I just love how you celebrate antiques by using them! AND...I am very pleased that you are "packing" and getting our passports ready for Friday's kickoff to a week in Europe!
What a wonderful post! Wish I could have been there to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day and bright blessings!

Hi, I've enjoyed your post very much, such wonderful things to use and when you don't use them, so very decorative.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing.
