Little confession: I have very few close friends, but lots
of casual acquaintances. If you look at my personality type, ESFJ (on the
Meyers-Briggs typology) this is not surprising. The few really close friends I
have, I have had for a very long time and they have changed my life in ways I
never could have predicted. One of those friends, Betsy, I have never actually
met in person. Betsy and I met through the blogging world and that turned into
years of long had, snail mail correspondence during and after undergraduate and
now we have a 50/50 online and snail mail thing going on. Betsy is flying north
for my wedding in October, to be one of my bridesmaids and just thinking about
it makes me giddy!
Anyway! One of the things I love most about Betsy is her
graciousness and the thankfulness she projects into the world. If you visit her
pinterest page it says “These are a few of my favorite things.” (yes, I know it’s
from Sound of Music). Everytime I see that it makes me sing the Julie Andrews
song, which makes me incandescently happy. That is what inspired me to share
one of MY favorite things with you every Friday. It might be a book I think you
should read, a particularly lovely photo of Lake Michigan from my walks with
Future Hubby that week, a poetic post about how much I love my locally made
wooden spoons (it’s coming…. you just wait!) or an awesome recipe I’m
challenging you to try over the weekend.
Today’s favorite thing is:
Mine are old Wagner Wear pieces (made in the USA) and the one you are looking at is a number 6.
I also own 5 and 3 and I’m currently on
the lookout for an 8 and 10 that are in good shape. There is an awesome flea market in August
where I bought this one and my 3, and where I’ll be looking for more this
summer. My number 5 was the world’s best Valentine’s Day gift from Future Hubby
this year. I LOVE these pans. Properly seasoned and cared for they are
amazingly non-stick, they put trace amounts of iron in your food (which is good
for you) and they are so pretty!! They
bring me joy every time I use them... how many people can say that about a pan?
