Dogs Are Not Good Painter's Helpers

I can just hear it now, "Madam, please remove your dog." Hopefully this would be the case rather than crash, splash. My living room ceiling needs to be painted because of one blemish that drives me crazy in a certain light. It's not a leak or anything...just something I tried to fix myself and succeeded in making it worse. I have plaster ceilings. I don't know that I'll ever have it done since painting is my least favorite thing in the whole wide world, either done by me or hired out. It is so disruptive. But well worth the effort once it's done. Here's hoping you get the first day of the work week off to a good start. Rosemary

This is one of my favorite photos ever from Pixdaus

Great Valentine For A Birder

I have been trying to weed out some photos saved to my computer. I just ran across this one and though it was nice. It would be a great valentine to give to a birder. Don't forget to feed your fine feathered friends, especially if you got a lot of snow.

Amazing English House and Garden

England is without a doubt the best place to see amazing old houses with beautiful gardens. I always loved walking around peeking into private spaces. Especially on a misty day. People were always looked puzzled when I told them their back yards were beautiful. They would always say...Oh, you must mean the garden.

Amazing Library

I have no idea where this is. It is absolutely an amazing building full of books. Bookstore? Library? University? What? Where? Private? Public? I'd love to be turned loose there to browse to my heart's content. Actually the velum bindings on the table would be perfect to start with. True happiness exists within those walls. Have a nice Sunday. Rosemary

Knitted Dog Toy | Woof

This has got to be the cutest knitted toy dog I've ever seen. I would not dare give anything like this to Webster the wonder dog because he would snag it immediately with his nails. He'd love it though and smother it with kisses. Unfortunately I can't furnish any instructions other than pointing you towards the website where I found it. http://blog.plymouthyarn.com/ Go to the site and type "dog toy" in the search box and it will come up after you scroll down a bit. This would be a great project for a new baby or favorite toddler and I'm sure it would end up being cherished. I love the "spot" on his eye and his blanket-stitched ears and back seam. He's the perfect pet...quiet, housebroken, and he doesn't eat much. WOOF. To a good home only, please!

Emma Watson | Fair-Trade Ethical Clothing Fan

'Rather than give cash to charities you can help people in poorer countries by buying the clothes they make,' says Harry Potter star Emma Watson, who's lending her considerable fashion savvy - and the modelling talents of friends - to a covetable new fair-trade clothing range. Read more. The more I learn about this lovely young lady, the more I like her. A shining star indeed with a conscience too. http://peopletree.co.uk/ (fair-trade and organic fashion)

Have a great weekend. I'm so happy that I live in the part of my state that did not get very much snow. It was mostly a coastal storm.
