Have a Beautiful Weekend

It is overcast at my house today which means I can continue my weeding project in constant shade. Forgive me if I am not overly enthusiastic. I hope your vista is full of sun rays and maybe a few sheep.

Birds on the Walls and Dogs on the Furniture

I love the arrangement of these framed Studer/Jasper bird prints on the walls and I love the little dogs on the beautiful chair as well. This photo was scanned from a page I ripped out of an old magazine. I have quite a few of these original antiquarian ornithological prints . . . I saved this image for framing inspiration.
