Tonight I'm Sleeping In A Swinging Bed

It is almost time for bed and I think tonight's the night I'd like to be out on a limb in this bed swing. Wouldn't that be fun? Goodnight. See you in the morning. It's TV time now.

Winding The Yarn With A Helper

I love the antiques in all of Jessie Wilcox Smith's illustrations. These two young girls sitting on early ladderback chairs are concentrating with all their might because when your hands are small tasks like this are very hard. I hope you can find a willing friend to help you with your work today. This is another wonderful illustration that is new to me. How do you wind your yarn?

Sunset in Africa

It's almost time to turn off the computer and settle down to watch The Antiques Roadshow on PBS. I thought you'd enjoy seeing the sun go down in Africa. Goodnight. See you in the morning, Rosemary.

Life's Little Instruction Book | Volume II | Page 10

I disagree with #550. I would never put my address on the outside of my luggage. Would you? I think this is the first time the author and I don't agree.

Field of Crimson Clover

I've never seen crimson clover. I always plant white clover here at the cottage because it's best for the honeybees. I've been told their tongues aren't long enough to get the nectar from the other colors. Bumblebees (see next photo) don't have this problem. This field is absolutely beautiful, isn't it? Wonder where it's located?

Butler's Pantry Off The Kitchen

I like what I see, don't you? All white including the marble countertop with the accessories providing the only color. It's simple and stunning, just perfect.

In Paris, Everything Looks Like Dessert

Pastry | Paris will take you to the most delightful short movie with great photography and music about living in Paris for one year and falling in love with the pastries. My friend Jill is going there next week. She found this film by Susan Hochbaum on the Girls' Guide To Paris.com in the dining section. Please don't fail to watch it; you'll be happy you did. Thanks Jill.

Woven Castle Playhouse

How wonderful is this playhouse made from woven English willow? Such fun awaits the lucky child who gets a handmade architectural masterpiece by Willow Design. I wouldn't mind taking a nap inside one of these eco-castles later this afternoon. I love the way this one blends into its surroundings unlike the awful, garish plastic versions I see dotting the landscape in the US. Just something that caught my eye this week that I thought you'd like too. Have a great Sunday, Rosemary.
