Nice bedroom. Perfect for bidding a goodnight to all. See you in the morning, Rosemary.

First Daffodils At The Cottage

I picked my first daffodils from the edge of the woods today. I couldn't resist. I did a lot of spring cleanup in the front and had to walk by a clump with two stems in full bloom when dumping leaves and weeds. The sun was shining perfectly on this one.

They are in a glass on my kitchen counter now. So nice.

Blue Iris

I love these blue iris. I had them at my former house. Forgot to dig some up to bring me. Should I knock on the door and ask if this would be possible? I might just do that.

I could never pass up the opportunity to sleep on a screened-in porch, could you?

Just a reminder to save your egg shells or eggshells for starting your seeds. Save the egg cartons too. This is the ultimate in recycling.

Bunny Ears Napkin Folding for Easter

Maybe those of you familiar with origami can figure this out. I haven't tried to fold a napkin into bunny ears yet and probably won't but I like the idea. Thanks to Martha Stewart. Click on the link for larger images and an update or two. Nice for your Easter table.

Sweetest Child's Room Ever

I absolutely love this map bed, don't you? It's in the perfect boy's room that he won't outgrow anytime soon. So sweet and not too juvenile. I like the wooden soldier lamp too. Actually I like it all. Interior design for children must be so much fun.

A Totally Knitted Home

Natural gas commercial
This is so clever. Imagine every surface of your home covered with knitting. Amazing and warm I would imagine. I try to remember that there are people in other parts of the world that are going into colder weather as we are going into our spring mode. This is for the people down under.

French Kitchen Table With Marble Top

I love this French table with a marble top from Crate and Barrel. It would be a great kitchen island too. $1299. Crate and Barrel - French Kitchen

I have Thonet chairs like these that came with my cottage.

Drive-In Movies At Home

I still miss drive-in movies, don't you? Nothing else comes close. Wouldn't you love to have this at your house? I remember seeing this long ago and was happy to be reminded of it again today. Someone actually has this on the back side of their house. Too cool for words.

And while we are on the subject, I miss drive-in restaurants too complete with delivery persons on roller skates. I wish someone would open one near me. I think it would be a big hit.

Be The Change

I love this pillow. Useful and inspirational at the same time.

Bluebird At The Cottage

Have I missed my window of opportunity to take this birdhouse down, clean it out and repaint? The bluebirds have already been going in and out of each compartment to stake out their nesting places. It really looks awful. I might be able to clean it in place with some warm water and a brush. I took this photo last weekend.

I took this photo in January. I wonder if it's the same bird that's perched on top of the birdhouse? It's sunny, cool, and very windy today so things should dry out from all the rain we've had. Happy Friday.

Saint Malo, France

Before I turn off my computer for the night, I though it would be nice to visit Saint Malo, France. I'll definitely have sweet dreams after seeing this lovely photo. Love the sun rays. Goodnight.

Easy Chair Covers Made From Dish Towels

Don't you absolutely love this idea? I have two bistro chairs and I think I'll make covers for their backs out of some pretty dish towels that are too nice to use for drying dishes. So beautiful and so easy too. Wouldn't you like to be invited to this picnic?

Reading In The Attic Of A Cottage

I could almost do this but Webster would have to move. I think I'll go downstairs to finish my wonderful book. See you later. Rosemary
