Antique French Ironstone Tureen
1891 Blue Floral Antique Bowls
After the holidays, with my pretty black eyes, I spent some time taking care of me, because that flu, and probably the fall, made me so tired. And that's why I haven't been blogging so much, I've been trying to get completely better.

Oh my goodness! I’m so glad ur husband was home to help you. There have been terrible falls as of late in my family. Very bad ones and these two were alone when it happened. My aunt fainted resulting in a broken arm in 2 places. Black eyes. Loosen teeth. Gashes. When she woke, she could barely climb back in bed. And she was in shock. She didn’t call anyone!!! Her daughter checked on her later in the day after no word from her in hours. If u live alone, nvest in a emergency button that will no notice a rapid change in position like a fall and notify 911 and or family membu ers.
My mother was alone when she fell outside onto concrete literally smashing her face. A neighbor going to work saw her on the ground. Called 911, then ER, next careflighted to a trauma hospital in the largest city in the sate. Admitted to SICU where she has been for a week. My mother never wanted to be intubated at her age. No heroic measures for her. If u r of the same mind, make sure ur living will is on file and close to your person or family member. Better yet listen to ur health providers and ur family especially if u r of the older generation and living alone with no family close by. Don’t try to do too much too soon. Never put ur independence above your safety. That is the quickest way to lose it.
Thank you so much, Shirley. I’m glad the fall wasn’t worse either. Who knew? I haven’t been sick for over 5 years…ha! This one was a doozie, that’s for sure. But I’m going strong again now.
I am so happy that you are feeling better. You certainly had a rough patch there with the flu and your fall. So glad that the Fall wasn’t worse. As always in awe of your gorgeous antiques that you style so elegantly. Missed you too!!!
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear about your illness and fall…happy you are on the mend. I’m impressed you felt up to even doing this post and glad to hear you are getting better. Stay healthy in 2018. Looking forward to your next weeks post about Valentine tabletop ideas (only if you are up to it). =)
Lidy, you were missed, but the important thing is not to get even more run down posting while you’re ill. So many have been really sick with the weird viruses going around this year…keeping our fingers crossed that we don’t come down with it. The soup tureens are lovely!
I’m so glad to hear you are much better. The flu is one of those illnesses you think you are never going to get better. You are so lucky you did not injure yourself worst then you did with the fall. I prayer for your complete recovery. We miss your blog. We did have some beautiful moments here in raleigh with the snow. It was breathtaking . I wish you well .
Oh my gosh Lidy, wow! So sorry to hear this and how scary that must have been. I’ve only fainted once and I found it so creepy – and I didn’t have black eyes on top of the fear! Glad to hear you’re finally better. This flu is a doozy isn’t it? I’ve known several people who were sick for 4 or more weeks!
Glad you’re back and can’t wait to share in the Valentine’s table hop with you this week:)

My heart is aching knowing that you were sick and then physically hurt! It really is a wake up call when we put ourselves last. I’ve been there. Your bashed up head really tells a story of how ill you were. I think your post may make others sit up and take notice! I’m praying you are much, much better now, Lidy. Somehow things have a way of working out, and it sounds like your holiday did! The pics are lovely.
I eat soup very often. I like to experiment making them for our supper, but I’m not a snob of some of the canned versions for lunch or a late night craving. As long as they are low in sodium, and without crazy added ingredients, I’m happy. I’m off to check out some of these yummy ones in your post.
Keep healing, my sweet friend. You were missed, and it’s so great to have you back!!

Thank you for the soup recipes, nothing tastes better when you’re laid low by colds/viruses. Please don’t rush the recovery, take all the time you need and then some more!
Lidy, we think you are beautiful even with 2 black “racoon eyes”! So glad you are feeling better! And thank you so much for sharing my Tomato Soup recipe with your readers, there is something about soup… isn’t it always comforting? Let’s make 2018 our healthiest year ever…. XO
