Wonderful Bookplate for Children


"Infinite Riches in a Little Room"
What a wonderful bookplate; I love images of children reading books. I wonder where The Children's Book Shop and Library is or was located?

Sleeping Here Tonight in My Dreams

I could rest peacefully on a bed of nails tonight and be comfortable I'm so tuckered out. Major tasks accomplished around the cottage and I'm so happy to be able to check so many things off my "to do" list.

This bedroom is fabulous, isn't it? I love it all; the storage underneath and the recessed shelves above instead of a headboard. I love white linens too having just put a white duvet cover on my white down comforter yesterday. The reading lamps are perfect. via

I've always liked the fall and winter landscape too for this very reason.

Turkey Vultures Outside My Cottage

Where were these ugly vultures on Halloween? There have been three sunning themselves in a tree near my studio window but I could only get a good shot of two of them. I just got back from walking Webster following his afternoon feeding. I looked for a dead carcass but couldn't find anything they might have been feeding on so I have to assume they were just enjoying the sun on this cloudless chilly day.

An Unusual Friendship

I would expect to see a dog on a leash . . . not a sheep. These two look perfectly content curled up with one another, don't they?
