Downton Abbey, Season 4, Episode 7 {How Bazaar }

This latest episode was my favorite this season.

Although there are some holes in some of the plots, the character growth and dialogue keep me wanting more each week.  I wish there had been another hour tacked on to this weeks episode.

As always, I saw so many things in the sets this week.
Every week I love to see the downstairs kitchen area. I've talked about copper, backsplashes, gray paint, sconces and antlers before. The sconces and antlers had me again this week.

What did you think about Mr. Molesly and Ms. Baxter? 
I may refer to them as "Fun and Funner" from here on out. 

Other stand outs for me this week are things that have been there all along, but have been showing up more often in design circles lately:

Give Me the Goods Features & Link Party

There is going to be a GOOD change with Give Me the Goods!

Throwback Thursday {Home Made Peanut Butter Cups of Love}

I am a choco-holic. And Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to OD.

Chocolate is my vice.

My Godfather, Uncle Louie, had a drawer full of chocolate peanut butter cups from a swanky chocolate shop in Rockport, MA {TUCK'S Candies) the last time I visited him. He made the mistake of letting me know where his 'stash' was and I cleaned out an entire box of enormous peanut butter cups over the course of the week that I was staying with him.  OOPS.

It was then that I thought, "I could make these".

Over the years, I've tried several different recipes and have developed my own.

They're so good that my dog once ate 3 dozen off of our kitchen table the day before Christmas {and survived]...just saying, they're irresistible. 

And easy to make.

Valentine Freebie Printable {Hello, I love you}

I'm sort of a music lover. 

Music is a part of me. So much that I usually always have a song going on in my head...especially while I write and blog. That being said, most of my freebie printables that I share here at Commona My House (which is another song, by the way)... are song lyrics. So this Valentine Week I will be sharing a free printable each day. They'll be some of my favorite love songs in all different genres.
Come back each day to see what the song of the day is. It may be one that you know and love...it may be new to you.
