Decorative Alphabets for You to Save and Use

 
Jessica Hische of the Daily Drop Cap invites all of you to save and use her numerous decorative alphabets on non-commercial projects. How wonderful! You can click on each individual letter after going to the site. The photo above is just a small sample. I love her work because you know how much I love fonts. Have fun!

Enthusiastic Bather

Goodness, gracious this bird is really enjoying his bath, isn't he? I love to see them splashing around so enthusiastically in nice weather. Birds are so entertaining to watch with or without field glasses.


My own photo taken years ago.
I am watching the news and Brian Williams on NBC just said there is snow on the ground in 49 out of 50 states. Florida is the only exception. That is pretty amazing, isn't it? Is there really snow in Hawaii?

White Icing at My Cottage

Doesn't the picket fence look beautiful covered in snow? I love the scallops. I went to sleep last night with snow falling furiously and woke up to bright sun and a driveway that was already plowed. I am enjoying my coffee and will get on my shoveling shoes after I putter around the cottage for a while. I'm guessing we got about 8"or so but I can't really tell. My road is absolutely clean down to the pavement. Living on a county road is the best. Their equipment is so much bigger and better than the trucks used by the township. As I typed that last sentence they drove by in the big yellow truck with the shiny red plow on the front twirling salt in both lanes.

I wish someone would tell me when you are supposed to get your car washed in the winter. This is way outside my area of expertise. It seems futile until the snow melts, right? Stay warm. I hope you lucked out in the third snowstorm of the year the way I did. See you later.

Princess Margaret Showhome 2010

How do you like this clubby game and media room? It's one I really like in the 2010 Princess Margaret Showhome via Canadian House and Home Magazine. Click on the link to see a slideshow of the whole decorator showcase house. I love these dark bookcases that make the media center almost disappear and the books and artwork 'pop' making them the focus when the TV is off. Nice.

Flowers and Plants in The Kitchen

Don't you wish you had flowers to arrange at the kitchen sink instead of dirty dishes.
