Cooking on Thanksgiving

at by

I’ll be spending a lot of time at the stove today. Or rather, my new Aga cooker. Yes, I know I’ve mentioned how times are tough for us – that I’m frugal by necessity. But Don surprised me with a new Aga for my birthday!

You know where this is going.

It’s for the dollhouse. I’m thrilled because I have had one of these bookmarked on this computer for about 3 years. (Photos are a bit grainy because it’s early morning here and shooting into the dollhouse kitchen is like photographing a tunnel.)

I baked a cake.

I’ve always loved British decorating magazines with cozy, low-ceilinged kitchens complete with an Aga. Now I can say I own one.

But back to the true meaning of today. I wish for you and your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving. I could list all the negatives in my life at the moment, but I’m not going to. Gratitude and thankfulness is the order of the day. I have much to be thankful for and I truly am aware of my blessings every day.

I am very thankful for all of you.

Eat lots of food, take a nap, take a walk – enjoy.

  4. Oh Claudia ~ I am sooo excited for you! I have been bookmarking the same Aga for my dollhouse. Yours is so adorable and I love the flooring in your kitchen. Everything is so charming. It’s every Anglophile’s dream! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Don and the pups. Wish you lived close by, we are having hot cross buns and coffee right now and I would love to share some with you.

    Big Hugs,
    Susan and Bentley

  14. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Don. May the two of you be blessed beyond measure. ♥

    I love the Aga. You deserve a surprise and I know it made Don feel good to give it to you. I’m with you on loving British magazines.

    I’m having a quiet day and slowly putting things away in my studio so I can see what to do next.

    Have a wonderful day,
    Steph ♥

  17. The year we lived in England we had an Aga, the exact color as yours. It was wonderful cooking on it, and it kept our kitchen cozy all winter long. It was a bear to clean, but we so enjoyed it. What a wonderful birthday present this was for you, and beautiful addition to your precious dollhouse. Congrats!! ♥

  22. I have always wanted an Aga and I did not know you could get a miniture one. I will have to get one because that is as close as I will get. It is lovely.

    Hope you have had a nice Thanksgiving.
