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

Tulips Standing At Attention

What a riot of color. These tulips look like soldiers standing at attention. Hope you have a happy spring day. It's still cool and rainy at my cottage.

Acorn Drawer Pull

I love acorns and oak leaves in any form. I have an antique sewing table with these wonderful brass pulls.

The Beekeeper's Apprentice

The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King. (The author has a great website.) A novel of suspense featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes. This is the page-turning mystery I'm reading today. It's soooooo good.

I took a little break to whip up two batches of homemade yogurt. I scanned the book cover to share. Highly recommended. Back to reading now. Later, Rosemary
