Since she says ‘things’, I’m not going to mention people but if I did, I certainly would put my husband and my four kids on the top of the list only just behind God.
Anyway, here goes:
#1 – My dog Scout who I also call Guy, Doofus (because so often he is) and Big Dog.
#2 – Roses
I have to have them growing in my yard. It’s essential. I prefer shrub roses to hybrid tea roses because I like for my roses to look pretty growing in the yard, not just in a vase.

#3 – Plates
I love to collect and display them. I have 7 or 8 sets of china. What can I say; I’m addicted. I especially love to hang my plates on the wall.

#4 – Goebel Angels
Goebel is the same company that makes Hummel. I have a few Hummels but I love any Goebel stuff. The angels have such cute little faces. So guileless.
I have a wonderful collection of Goebel angels that I’ve been collecting for well over 20 years. Since the collection fits perfectly in this cabinet, I don’t have a reason to get any more.
#5 – Primary Colors in my home
I love muted colors and natural colors, but I always come back to primary colors with some green thrown in. This has been going on since I began keeping house in 1983 so I don’t think it’s going away. This is my latest fabric choice of which I just ordered 12 yards to make roman shades for the 5 windows in the breakfast room in my new house:
