At last we unearthed it (yay!), but in the process, we also found my cobalt blue KitchenAid mixer. Sigh. The mixer that had been in storage, 500 miles away for nearly 5 years. 5 years of Holiday baking without it. And now, here it is, looking spiffy on the counter. It's like we've never been apart. Oh, My Precious!
See how it even emits a heavenly glow? It may just be the photo app I used combined with the nightlight that is plugged in behind it, but I chose to believe otherwise. This mixer was blessed by angels.
This clock (still in the box!) was also found, and hung.
I have many more things, brand new things, waiting to be re-discovered in my garage full of boxes (once we bug-bomb it. It's treacherous in there!). Things I bought for my last house, the house I considered my dream house, where I fantasized about my kitchen having soft yellow walls and cobalt blue accents (the clock was one of those things).
And now here I am, same neighborhood, very different house, but the soft yellow kitchen walls were already here waiting for me, and now my cobalt blue accents have come home. I guess this is the Universe's way of telling me I am right where I need to to be. Things are not exactly as I dreamed they would be, but can you believe they are even better than I had hoped for?
P.S. I love my beadboard ceilings in the kitchen!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay for the Aid! And you exactly where you need to be, fo' sho'. ;)
