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.

Dandelions Are Beautiful

Isn't this macro photo of dandelion seeds absolutely amazing? Mother nature really is quite the designer, isn't she?

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.

Wallpaper Cookies | Too Pretty To Eat

These iced shortbread Cookies patterned after an Osborn & Little wallpaper look too pretty to eat, don't they? Order online from Miette in San Francisco. This very wallpaper decorates their shop. What a great gift for an interior designer. Click around their site and be sure to look at the photo gallery and swoon over the other amazingly beautiful baked confections they offer via mail order. I'm impressed, aren't you? Now I'm hungry and think it's time to cook my breakfast. If I were in SF I'd go there in person and eat something delicious. Have a great weekend, Rosemary.

Venice

It's cool, wet, and foggy this morning so I though I'd transport myself to Venice. I've never been there and I can't even imagine stepping outside my front door and getting into my boat, can you? I hope I don't get my camera wet.

Tulips And Two Lips

I couldn't resist this play on words. I photographed my two tulips today with the withering daffodils in the background. You'll be seeing them again because they are the only two left from a rather large planting years ago. These bulbs are edible and they must be delicious. From now on I'll stick with daffodils because their bulbs are poisonous. The day is getting nicer; the sun just came out and there is a cool soft breeze. Going out to work and play now. See you later, Rosemary.
