The Time of Singing (and Inspiring) Has Come ~ Day 14

I'm a fan of vintage enamelware.  A big fan.

So when I found this chippy enamelware bowl at a thrift store last week, I found it incredibly hard to resist.
It's reminiscent of my great-grandma's kitchen.
It conjurs up all kinds of images from days gone by.
In my mind's eye, I see an apron-clad woman stirring up a batch of dough.
I see her setting it to rise beneath a hand-stitched tea towel. 
I picture her mixing up a batch of cookies for the little ones who would soon return home from school.

That's what enamelware does to me. 
It unexpectedly reminds and inspires me to be intentional;
to be sure I don't miss out. 

So I brought this little beauty home with me. 
I admire it each day, so happy with my find.
It sings of spring and family;
of practicality and beauty;
of labor and reward.

[She looks well to the ways of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.]

Proverbs 31:27
