1937 Lincoln Zephyr Automobile

Now that's what I call a car. I love everything about it. Wonder how it would handle in the snow? It is probably quite heavy since there are no plastic parts. It would look fabulous parked outside my cottage on a sunny day. The car and my cottage were both built in 1937.

Enjoy Your Coffee

I'll second this motion. I require two large cups of coffee in the morning to get me through the day.

"Life is short, enjoy your coffee."

An Amazing Tiny Cottage

Nantucket? Don't you love this amazing tiny cottage with roses climbing on the roof? I'd love to peek inside but I'd probably never want to leave. Totally charming. I can almost smell the sea air.

Happy Friday. Hope you are safe and warm wherever you are. I'll be doing Olympic shoveling throughout the day. See you later, Rosemary.

Update: I found an article in an old Architectural Digest about this very cottage. Read more...

Owl In The Snow

This wise owl would be right at home in snowy New Jersey at the moment. I love the way owls stare right at you and never blink or look away. Guess they don't give a hoot.

I just returned from walking Webster the Wonder Dog for the last time and it has gotten much colder. The wind is howling too. I'm turning off the computer now and pulling the covers over my head until tomorrow. I'll be peeking out to watch some prime TV as well. Over and out, Rosemary

An English Squirrel

The squirrels in England are very different from those in America. Look at those ears. Wonderful photo.

Scherenschnitte: Winter Wonderland Papercut

This image is actually a Scherenschnitte or papercutting. It is absolutely amazing and so accurately describes the view outside my window today. Birds fed, finished my movie, more later. Rosemary

Thursday Morning Snow

The view from my computer desk. I took this photo 3 minutes ago and since that time it has become a whiteout. Should I get dressed and fill up the bird feeder? I think I should. I made them a treat too...a jar of chunky peanut butter mixed with some raw grits. That should give them some fat to keep them warm. I am putting it in one of those red mesh bags used to package loose onions. Be back later, Rosemary.

A Cute Pup To Make You Smile

Honestly, this is one of the cutest puppies ever. Agreed? I love the multicolored tennis ball too. I can remember those sharp little teeth on Webster. Ouch.

It's snowing like mad at my house right now but no wind yet. I'm going back to bed to finish watching The Jane Austen Book Club that was on Lifetime last night. The part I watched was good. See you later, Rosemary.

Children Fight Over Illustrator Tasha Tudor's Estate

I'm very upset by what I'm reading about the feud over Tasha Tudor's estate. Read more. War of the Tudors: Family Feuds of $2 Million Estate ~ another article. Such greed. The children even fought over their mother's ashes. Things aren't always as they seem.

I had a first edition of the book Bethany is holding that I loaned out and never got back. Now I don't even want it.

DIY Laundry Drying Rack

I recently blogged about absolutely loving this laundry room.

Laundry drying rack from Ballard Designs.

DIY laundry drying rack folded flat.

DIY rack shown with bracket to hold it open.

Knobs along the bottom are perfect for drying things on hangers.

Complete DIY instructions from Centsational Girl for making your own at huge savings. Construct several while you are at it in different sizes. I'd like to have one in my bathroom.

I've been saving this on my desktop for ages and am running out of room. Now I can delete it. Let me know if talk someone in your family into making one for you or if you make it yourself. Martha would already be half finished in the time it has taken you to read this. :-)

So Wanting To Do This

I love these flowers in jars and bottles on the deep windowsill, don't you. I say this after reading the latest weather report predicting 17" of snow at my house accompanied by 70mph winds. Time to batten down the hatches, bring in more fire wood and put the covers over my head.

I'm blaming this bizarre weather on the animal activists who wanted to replace the groundhog in Pennsylvania with a robotic version. This is surely Punxsutawney Phil's revenge. Well, it could be the reason.
