My Prayer For You…

I pray for peace for each one of you as life comes your way.  I pray for joy and strength to fill your hearts and your lives. I pray that you will spend this year developing a love and passion for Christ that you have never had. I pray that you will have a hunger for the Word of God.  And, I pray that as you read, the Words will come alive to you. I pray that you will have a desire to see lost people saved. I pray that your family will be blessed beyond measure. I pray that you will be filled with Godly wisdom. I pray that you will realize that God loves to hear from you.  He wants to spend time with you.  He wants you to come to Him about ALL things…big and small.  Don’t save your prayers just for big things…pray about everything…please.  Remember that as a parent, everything matters to us that matters to our children.  In the same sense, ALL things matter to God. I pray that you will know, that as you and your family draw closer to God, you will also draw closer to on

Happy New Year, Everyone! First, I want to say a big thank you to Kristin of My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia . She asked me the other day if she could feature our blog on hers and of course I jumped at the chance and was so honored. She has an absolutely beautiful blog that you all should check out if you haven't already! I spent quite some time over there the other day and fell in love with so many of her projects. She definitely has one of those blogs you can get completely lost in and spend hours looking through! You can see this one post here that wraps up some of her top projects of 2010. Her kitchen transformation is incredible! I wish I had time to write more but I am not feeling so great so am going to try to keep this post as short as possible and I still have a lot to write about. This bench is just one of her recent projects: Normally when we go up to New Hampshire I take a ton of photos. Everything is so beautiful and picturesque up there from the quaint little towns, be

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Ok, I'm going to stop complaining!! Does anyone have any special New Year's plans?

Sweet Hubby's Gift + More

Hello friends.  If you are a regular reader of my blog you know I have a love for sterling, especially Victorian vanity pieces.  For Christmas my sweetie bought me the perfect little addition to my collection.  Take a look and see if you can spot it. Look a little closer I am in love with my new sterling Victorian clothes brush. It has a beautiful repousse handle and horse hair bristles. I think these pieces appeal so much to me because I like to imagine where they came from, were they a gift from her sweetie, and what was the lady like that owned them. These are also new additions to my collection of serving pieces.  I recently purchased these three pieces at a thrift store for fifty cents each!  They were so badly tarnished I could not read the markings but I assumed they were silver plate.  Imagine my surprise when I cleaned them and found monograms on two of the pieces and that all three were marked Sterling!! Here is a close-up of the handles.  See the beautiful transferware plate

My dearest readers, followers, blogfriends and blogcolleagues, I would love to thank all of you for this wonderful year, joining me at Belgian Pearls. This year I met so many new readers and blogcolleagues, and a lot of you became real friends! It is amazing how many lovely people I learned to know through blogging! Starting my blog, I never could have imagined that meeting all of you, would have such an impact on my life! All those sweet and lovely comments on my posts, all these emails I received from you, were to me a huge support and motivation to go on with my blog! ‘Belgian Pearls’ wouldn’t be of any meaning without all of you! I do hope that even in 2011, I will be able to bring you blogposts you will love and enjoy! I promise to do the best I can to not disappoint you!

Challenging Myself

Last year at this time, I was challenged by a lot of other blogging friends to do a Pantry Challenge for the month of January.  The challenge was for us to eat from our pantry and only buy necessities for the entire month.  We would be eating from our stockpile. I took the challenge! I set a limit last year to only spend $75 for the whole month at the grocery store.  This included milk, juice, fresh fruits and veggies, bread, and any other must haves. I did very well, but decided if I did it again, I would give myself a budget of $100 for the month so I would have a little breathing room. I will tell you that I have stocked my pantry, shelves and such for the past several months.  I canned a lot from our garden and put up lots of fruit in the freezer.  We also have half a beef in the freezer and have been blessed with two deer that friends have killed. I am a coupon shopper and have been able to stock up on lots of food at good prices.  My shelves are full. I will make on

From Mine To Yours…

  Sometimes it’s nice to see the people that are talking to you and are being talked about, so I decided to share a picture of my wonderful family with you all. My kids are the apples of my eye.  They make my life full.  They are my gifts from God and I treasure every second I get to spend with them. My husband is my best friend.  He is my hero.  He is the person who taught me to love Jesus and to accept Him as my Lord and Savior. Our family wishes you a wonderful upcoming New Year. God bless you all!
