How Do You Gift Wrap An Elephant?

Webster Says: This Bed is Not Big Enough for Two Dogs

Webster got up and left after I took the first picture giving the whole thing to Piggie who goes home tomorrow. As soon as he found out he could take over Webster's bed, The Pig got up and went back to his own.

Reach for The Sky This Weekend

When I was a kid I used to love to swing and could go so high that the frame would leave the ground. Try to reach for the sky too this weekend. 

Perfect His and Her Bath | Betty Lou Phillips

Betty Lou Phillips has created a wonderful his and her bathroom in her own home. Monsieur and Madame monogrammed towels and mosaic on the floor to clarify who stands where.

Go get your own towels. HIS are in a wonderful shower shown in the complete article. The zinc tub, marble floors, walls, and window surrounds are fabulous.

An old medical cabinet was refurbished and is perfect in this bathroom for storing marked terry cloth bath linens. I have a similar one in my attic studio but there is no room for it in my bathroom. Read more...

This post should not in any way make you dislike what you have. I just wanted to show you something amazing to inspire you. Maybe you got an idea or two. Hope so!

Geranium

One of the geraniums I wintered over has started to bloom. How nice. I'll be putting them outside again in a month or so. They are pretty hardy and can stand some cold nights. Enjoy your weekend. Photo by me.

Cut Flowers for Your Table

I love the clear vase with interesting twigs in bloom showing through below the lip. This flower pot shape is nice too. It could do double duty as an ice bucket. via

A Frenchie Takes A Sun Bath

We just returned from a nice walk. It's still a little too chilly to sun yourself outside but the rug in front of the kitchen sink is perfect. Plus a piece of food might fall from the sky. A hungry dog is the best kitchen cleaner around. Piggie is like a Roomba, one of those little round robotic vacuum cleaners.

Happy Friday.

1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
