Lovely English Cottage

Give me a good English cottage any day. Love this one. Scanned from a 2004 edition of Architectural Digest I picked up at the recycling depot on Tuesday. I could never have those yew hedges at my house. The deer around here consider yew to be candy. I am totally against trying to grow anything on their eat list so I am somewhat limited. They don't like English boxwood and that is a very good thing. I must get my passport renewed. England is calling.

Sleeping With Antiques




I slept a lot later than usual this morning for some reason, so bedrooms are on my mind. I love each and every one of these from Architectural Digest. It's so nice to sleep with antiques. I'm sure I'd have sweet dreams in all of these rooms.

We have bright sun shining on the snow today. I jumped out of bed and immediately put all of my bedding and towels in the washer. It's a perfect laundry day! Clothes line here I come. Have a great day, Rosemary

Tiny Gem of a Cottage

Awwww. How darling. Do want to peek inside, don't you? I love the bench with trellises on either side. I'm sure it will be a wonderfully fragrant place to sit once the plants climb and bloom.

Bell Ringer Hoists 22-Pound Bells For Bucknell

In case you thought Ben Ramseyer's name rang a bell, it really does. Just look at him. There he was Sunday at Morristown's Presbyterian Church on the Green, wielding a 22-pound chime with surgical precision as a member of the renowned Rooke Chapel Ringers of Bucknell University. This performance was part of their National Tour. Watch the video and look for them in your area. I missed this performance because of real estate. Boo Hoo.

I couldn't get the video to appear within this blog post. Here's the link. Read the article and watch the delightful video if you love Bell Ringers. These young people are wonderful! I understand that the performance was packed with admirers. The young man with the big bell is a member of the congregation and started ringing in kindergarten. How nice.

Aren't you glad I'm interested in so many things? Add Bell Choirs to the list. Rosemary

White and Inviting

Another stunning room. Simplicity personified. Spotless white woodwork and upholstery. Pleasing arrangement. A+ This would match my exterior today which is completely white because of the 4" of snow that was deposited overnight. It's beautiful. xo, Rosemary
