Happy Christmas: Beatrix Potter 1890

Rare original watercolor by Beatrix Potter, 1890

A happy Christmas to you.

My sentiments exactly.

I blogged about this bunny family gathered around the table to enjoy their Christmas pudding several years ago. I worked on the old photo so it would stand out more than the faded original in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. View the provenance and the museum's copy here. I love the little chairs and the way the bunnies are sitting in them. And those bibs!

Country Kitchen w/ Copper Pots

I am not actually looking for these kitchens with copper pots. They just keep finding me!

This one found me and begged to be posted. I thought it was worthy so here you have it. I love the overhead light fixture too. via

Pink Fog at My Cottage This Morning

I woke up early this morning and my bedroom was enveloped in pink. I hopped out of bed, grabbed my Nikon, and captured this rare pink fog. This photo is right out of the camera with no filters. It was probably the result of the refracted color of the sunrise bouncing off the morning fog. It didn't last long before turning to the normal gray. I'm happy I woke up just in the nick of time. Maybe I'll have purple rain later (smile).

Kitchen Full of Copper Pots WOW

Have You Ever?

So many copper pots and cooking utensils. I'm glad they are all on display too. If you've got them, flaunt them. I love the open step-back cupboard and everything else in this amazing kitchen. via

Simple and nice. I love a house photo with all of the inside lights burning bright.

Copper Pots in Home Decor

Beautiful copper pots and lids hanging from old beams in a kitchen.

This must be the back entrance into a kitchen. Copper cookware hanging and displayed everywhere. Wow. Both photos from Architectural Digest.
