This is on my mind is a Friday photo feature that anyone with a blog can join. It opens the door to us sharing our lives with these photos and gives us all a new way to discover each other, and maybe form new friendships. Your photo should show something at home that you're thinking about. It could be something already done but still on your mind, something you're about to do and you're working out how to do it, or a place at home where you've spent a lot of time during the past week. It could be anything.
To take part in this, all you have to do is post your photo and write a short caption explaining it. When your photo is published, come back here and add a comment, with a link to your blog photo. We will all be able to follow the breadcrumbs in the woods that lead to each new photo. Who know where these trails will lead us.
PS: Please label your photo: This is on my mind, and please, post a new photo today, otherwise I'm not sure if I'm commenting on the right post.
Hanno and I went to a couple of thrift shops last week and I found this beautiful vintage table tray for $10. I'm thinking it was hand made in someone's backyard shed. It's solid wood and there is a little inlaid check diamond in the centre. The legs fold under when it's not in use. I found it at the bottom of a stack of plastic and tin trays just waiting for me to come along.
Hi Rhonda, i think this will be fun,the kitchen sink one was so good.When i get time I will take part as my whole month has been spend getting ready Mums 90th birthday for Saturday and as i had to do it alone I am pooped! lol I will take a pic of what has been taking up my time on saturday.The little tray looks lovely and yes can just imagine someone making it I his shed.Have a lovely weeken Carole

Thanks Rhonda
I'm thinking about all the things I want to cook and bake for Christmas (and the pre-Christmas parties), but I'm not getting much time to experiment! So I've fallen back on an old favourite with a new twist... and it's soooo yummy! I'm using it for topping fancy chocolate cakes, pavlovas, and even just eating it on it's own for breakfast :)

Such a beautifully crafted table - a great find!
ReplyDeleteThank you for organising this Friday feature Rhonda, here's my contribution

Cheers :D
My good fortune at being able to live in a beautiful place, growing my own vegetables and becoming more planet friendly is always on my mind. I feel very, very lucky.

Now that is a great find, clever you Rhonda.
ReplyDeleteSince we moved shop a year ago we have had a niggling problem with the workshop that clever Tony solved. http://greeningtherose.blogspot.com/2010/12/this-is-on-my-mind_10.html
Rhonda, What a lovely idea! I will enjoy doing this whenI can. What a pretty tray. I love nice vintage wooden pieces. I rarely comment but have been enjoying your writings for a long time. Thank you! Gerry
ReplyDeleteI'm busy trying to make up my mind:

Thanks Rhonda. This time of year I'm sure we all have things on our mind.
ReplyDeleteAt present my mind is on the floods and the havoc it had caused for the unfortunate people affected, across the eastern side of Australia. Maa.

Hi Rhonda, my dogs are on my mind. I'm working on altering one of my dog's food recipe in order to help her recover from a non-serious health issue.

ReplyDeleteBaking has been on my mind this week

I'm off to have a look at some blogs, cheers
Rhonda, I'm in Ettalong NSW meeting my new granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteRhonda
ReplyDeleteI am sure it is a design used in High School Woodworking classes - teaching about inlay, and furniture making etc. That makes it extra special to me - it was probably presented to a proud mother one Christmas, and she kept it all her life....
I'm trying to catch up on so many things that need doing...whether I like to do them or not :)

My mind has been on how hard it is to keep up with farming throughout the winter. We have had 158 cm of snow this week and it is snowing today. My post explains my likes an dislikes about farming in the Canadian winter.

Rhonda I guess my brain wasn't working last night as try as I may I couldn't find this 'leave your comment' box. Very sad really...lol. Any way I guess it's still Friday in some parts of the world so I'll put a link to my 'This is on my mind' post!
ReplyDeleteThe table in your photo is a real treasure; real wood not 'Ikea composite'! (I know Ikea has a place those of you who are fans!lol)

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Christmas lights

oops I forgot to say what was on my mind! It's decluttering time as I have brought home what's left of my teaching resources after retiring on Wednesday. I still have heaps even tho' I've given away and thrown out for over 12 weeks! And we don't have a shed!
ReplyDeletehttp://thenextstage-maria.blogspot.com/2010/12/this-is-on-my-mind.html
Hello Rhonda Jean!
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised to see a comment from you this evening, as I'm a long time reader( comment very rarely) of yours. Your blog is such an inspiration to so many of us. I hope you'll come visit again soon!
Hi Tracy, thank you. I've been trying to get around a bit more and I tend to start somewhere and follow links. I loved the tortoise cake and the warmth and love you and your daughter showed your husband. I've just put you in my reader to remind me to go back again.
