The weekend was sunny but so cold and having no outside chores to do I stayed in the whole of it. I really needed that as I felt really exhausted.
I spent most of my Saturday answering e-mails. It is amazing how many e-mails I had to answer and although I managed to lower my inbox level I still have a lot. Sorry if someone expects an answer I will do my best soon.
I also stitched a lot (no photos they are gifts!)
We savoured some nice fried bread slices with maple syrup that arrived from the States. I had never tried maple syrup and was thankful that again Marabeth gave me this chance!
I finished blogging about Maija who is leaving for her next hostess in Scotland....
And arranged some buttons I recently bought. Just a little box of 100 small buttons for crafts.
Aren't they so sweet in their colourful galore?

Aren't buttons so fun to work with? Marabeth sent you the " good" maple syrup. My hubby only eats that kind.
I know about the emails. I haven't been keeping up well either.
I wanted to thank you for the thoughtful one you wrote about your parents moving to Greece. Our parents were very brave and fearless. I'm so grateful for mine.

I take bread from the previous day not fresh one(stale is better) and deep it in a mixture of milk where I have added an egg. Then I fry it in olive oil for a while till both sides are done. We eat them with all kinds of sweet things , they are great with chocolate too. But you can eat them with ham and cheese as well.AriadnefromGreece!
French toast is what we call it in the States! I sometimes put a little cinnamon into the egg and milk mixture. Yours looks super delicious especially with the thick bread slices. mmm mmm
I wonder what you will be creating with all those lovely buttons!
