Wallpaper Cookies | Too Pretty To Eat

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.

Venice

It's cool, wet, and foggy this morning so I though I'd transport myself to Venice. I've never been there and I can't even imagine stepping outside my front door and getting into my boat, can you? I hope I don't get my camera wet.

Tulips And Two Lips

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.

Young Designer In Training

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.

Newborn Baby Birds | Amazing Photo

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.
