Hi Everyone!
Last week if you read my blog you know I was not a happy woman because I was freezing!
Even Mr. M. said the house was cold. He did some inspections and found that our heaters were not working properly. We did have to buy new and now my house is cozy warm. Ohhh thank goodness.
Today is the T-party over at
Bleubeard and Elizabeths. Be sure to stop by there to see what is going on.
For me I am very busy making art and loving the new path I have taken with it. I will be showing some of it on my Friday Face OFF with a tutorial and a very short video.
The other day I wanted to make some potatoes that I grew this last season. I store potatoes in a box in my pantry. I pulled the box out and set it on my counter. I was shocked! I really couldn't believe it and started to laugh. Mr. M. was totally surprise.
Here is what I found.
I have stored my home grown potatoes like this for the last 5 years. This is the first time I have seen this.

Mr. M. just came in with these beauties. I ordered them from Amazon.
14 black tapered candles. In my town trying to find tapers is almost impossible and no way is there black.
My dear friend, Donna, sent this mug to me a while back and I have shown it before. It is the best mug to hold my hot water. It keeps it warm a very long time.
This is also my pass into the T-Party.
Well I am off to finish the dishes then vaccum the living room. Yeah... this is me. LOL

...we have been unseasonably warm this fall.
perhaps the storage area is too warm for the potatoes. I buy allot online these days as I can find what I need easier. Loved the meme of the lady cleaning-Happy T Kathy
Glad you have the heat situation fixed. There is nothing worse than being cold-especially inside while trying to work. I have some black tapers, soon might be a good time to burn them as I move into a new phase. And I like that mug. Those gators/crocs are laid out great on it. Have a great T day. hugs-Erika
I'm glad that it is now warm and cosy in your home, but darn, getting a new heater doesn't come cheap. I don't like to be cold, even though I try to "toughen" it out - we didn't switch on the heater before November first. Your potatoes are doing their own thing it seems - I wonder how this will go on. Your favorite mug is gorgeous! Happy T day!
Wishing you a snug winter!
I am glad to hear that you now have heat. Being cold is definitely no fun.

Cozy Warm is great, especially with winter approaching! Congrats on getting those black tapers!
I hate freezing, too. Our living room is long. Ingo bought a timer, so in the day my workplace is a bit warm, but when I take a break and go to my private PC... ccccc..old!
LOL on the potatoes - the will to survive! Happy warm T-Day!
Black candles are lovely. You are right that there are not many on sale in retail shops
A warm place to live is a necessity, glad your heating is repaired. Happy T Day, hugs Valerie
Interesting info about burning black candles.
Great to hear you noticed heaters were not working as they should. I'm sorry to hear you bought them once again. On the other hand, this means that you couldn't do repair works.
Beautiful cup, Nicole! Many people make healthy choices with regards to ceramics for food and drink. The problem is that there are many Chinese ceramics pot for sale in the UE.
All the best, Nicole!
My potatoes are NOT home grown and they do the same. I wonder if they will survive. I hope so.
Sorry to read your heaters weren't working. Replacing them doesn't come cheap, I'm sure.
I've never heard that about black candles, but I learn something new each week.
Your mug is beautiful. Quite unique. Love the image of you vacuuming, Nicole. Thanks for sharing your potatoes, your black candles and their uses, and your lovely mug with us for T this Tuesday.
So glad you are warm and cozy again, Nicole. Being cold is no joke. Your potato pictures are super interesting. I want to order some black candles now! Lovely post. Hugz
Glad to hear that you are now warm. I guess the temperature suited the potatoes too!
What a surprise, I hope they last until next year so you can you plant the potatoes now they've sprotted ☺️. The black candles were a lovely find by your hubby and so great that they absorb negative energy. Loving your fun cup this T Day, I think that would be a favourite of mine too. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs Jo x
Glad you have heat again
Looks like your potatoes have enjoyed the temperatures thinking spring let's get growing. :).
So glad that your heat is back on as it is no fun to be cold. We have had some crazy weather. Air conditioning one day and heat the next.
Have fun vacuuming!
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I hate being cold, not had any heating for the last year so not looking forward to winter. Glad you got yours fixed. Your potatoes are chitting! Well if you don't eat them before spring at least you can plant them lol. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
Nicole, the mug made me giggle the few times I used it. I am delighted that it is your fave. We have consistent weather for the next week, sunny, low 40’s for highs and low 20’s for lows, oh well. But dry cold, so ok, just rather early. Donna
Well i still have the air-condition on... Too dusty to open the windows.. Glad you got your heating fixed.. Being able to heat and cool your home so important! Amazing about your potatoes! Must have been just the right conditions.. Happy T day! Hugs! deb
I think the potatoes were shouting 'eat me, eat me'. Or they were cold too and looking for heat. I'm glad you are warm again.
I'm glad you're back to cozy -- I just hate being cold -- andit's coming! Have a great tea day!
Boa noite minha querida amiga Nicole. Acho que jamais eu me acostumaria com o frio e a neve de vocês. Obrigado pela visita e carinho.
Glad you got the heat fixed!
I've had potatoes start growing on me in the cool dark several times. I gave up and only keep them in the frig.
I would think black candles would be perfect for Halloween. They wouldn't bother me any time of year. :)
We've been enjoying Indian summer here in east Tennessee. As Hurricane Nicole moves into Florida that weather system will usher in cooler temps for us by Friday with the lows dropping into the upper 20s. I. A. Not. Looking. Forward. To. That! I'm glad you got your heater replaced before winter sets in. I know it get a lot colder in your neck of the woods so feeling cozy in the cooler months is super important. Heck, I don't like being cold! Have a wonderful day, my dear.
Glad you are warm again Nicole. My hubby complains when I turn on the heating, he doesn't feel the cold like I do.
The black candles look very sophisticated, they make a change from the more common white or red.
Glad you're warm again. I love the black candles. I often find my left over potatoes have sprouted! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
Hahaha yea potatoes and onions behave similarly in particular season dear Nichole
I hope you will be able to make your home hot and cozy friend!
I had read once same that you said about black candles. I am more leaning to black with age I think. It is mostly a matter of attitude I believe.
Health peace and happiness to both of you
I don't like being cold either-I am right now! We are trying not to use the furnace because the fuel is so expensive-but we have a small electric heater that works quite well. So far, the heat is cheaper than the fuel. Your potatoes just wanted the light I guess!
So pleased that you now have heat.
All the best Jan
Your potatoes made me laugh, Nicole. I'm glad you could salvage enough for a meal. Amazon is such a temptation ~ You can find almost anything. Love that cup! What a thoughtful friend you have.
