Black and White Kitchen Love
I wouldn't change a thing in this beautiful kitchen. You know how much I love a black and white checkerboard floor having had one myself in my previous kitchen. I really want to see more of that room behind the partially opened door, don't you? Is it a bedroom? We want more in case anyone is listening reading. Simply charming!

Audrey Hepburn and E.T.
Am I the first person to notice the similarity between these two beloved movie stars? Was Steven Spielberg influenced by this Richard Avedon portrait? I know he's an art collector. Did he base this adorable Science Fiction character on this photograph? Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) was still alive when the movie was released. I wonder if she saw it and remembered this photo shoot? I think she would have loved being called E.T.'s mother, don't you?
Make Do and Mend -- Again
My grandmother used to take outgrown hand-knitted garments apart and reuse the yarn for other knitting projects. Rush over to The Homely Place to see more versions of the "Make Do and Mend" slogan that is so timely once again. Elbow patches are all the fashion these days so don't throw away your worn garments. Patch and be proud.

Addicted to Books
How many of you can relate to this? HaHa, count me in. I've been addicted to books all my life. One day I might fall victim to a reshelving accident too.

River Landscape in Cumbria, England
Such a peaceful winter scene in the Lake District of the English countryside. No wonder Beatrix Potter decided to settle in this region.

Office with Lots of Bookshelves
If I were designing an office from scratch this might be the one. I can picture myself in this space paying bills, blogging, playing on the computer, addressing Christmas cards, listening to Christmas music and flipping through books. All of my favorite modern volumes on architecture and interior design could live there. My collection of antiquarian books with fine bindings would be in the library with a wood burning fireplace.

Busy Pileated Woodpecker
Every morning I wake up to the sound of this big guy hammering away at a tree near my bedroom window. I think I have a while before he takes this one down and it comes crashing on my roof. These big Woody Woodpeckers give me a thrill each time I spot one. Luckily my camera was handy yesterday when he came calling. I'm off to an office meeting this morning. See you later . . . it's very cold this morning. Brrr.
