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?
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.
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.
Such a Lovely Composition. I like to sit at this kitchen table and enjoy a bite, wouldn't you?
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.
The Glory of Spring is beautifully captured in this stunning photo. What a perfect way to end the day. Have a great evening, see you tomorrow. Rosemary
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.
Isn't this how all fashion designers got started? I learned to sew by making doll clothes by hand before my mother would let me use the sewing machine. I adore this image by Arthur Rackham, don't you? It's chilly this morning and it rained all night, a perfect day to sit on the sofa and look at pretty pictures in books. Agreed? Happy Friday, Rosemary.
I know I'm fortunate and I do count my blessings every day.
I wonder what kind of baby birds these are? The beak looks rather like an ostrich. I don't think I've ever seen a more amazing photo of such brand new life. I'm so glad they have each other. Their heads remind me of figs.
