Feeling Lemony

I'm in a lemon yellow mood today. After crocheting this vintage reproduction potholder, I was feeling sort of yellow.  Have you ever felt like a color? 


 Of course feeling lemony means homemade lemon curd in a pretty jar and tied with a ribbon.


Lemon with multiple layers and dimension.


How fortunate I was a couple weeks ago to find this thrift store book find. Don't you just love it when your thrift-find meets all and more of your expectations?! I've never not found a good book at the thrift store though! Yes, I love books.


Baked from scratch lemon scones. A good recipe to make up and keep some in the freezer to have on hand to bake when you're feeling Lemony!  Just enough to set out and enjoy this afternoon.



I hope your day was lemony too!

  1. Hi Tanya
    The closest I came to lemon was a wedge in a glass of water today. I do like lemony desserts though and I just might try some in my scones for a change.
    I like the pot holder you made and how the jar of lemon curd is fancied up.

  2. Tanya: I have that cookbook - in fact - I need to get it out now!I buy a lot of lemons at the grocery and use them for scones, lemon tarts, lemon pound cakes. I love lemon.

    I certainly don't know how to crochet and that potholder is so lovely!
    How talented you are! Thank you for linking to Friends Sharing Tea!

  6. Yellow is one of my favorite colors...and orange! Would you believe those are the same colors I loved in my 20's and I've come full circle? I am totally impressed with that gorgeous potholder... just beautiful! And yes, lemon anything is wonderful. My grandmother made the best lemon meringue pie and who doesn't love a lemon bar??

  10. Tanya, I hope that you were feeling tart and not like a sour puss. lol! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Yes, sometimes a certain color puts me in a certain mood. I love lemon curd and lemon scones sound divine. Your pot holder is so sweet. Would love a bit of lemon right now. Lemon bars sound yummy too! Darn, I'm just making myself hungry. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
