Things I Want To Do Today

Take a long hot soak in the tub,

Crawl back into bed with a hot water bottle and watch a movie,

And take a nap on this rainy Saturday in March.

What's on your agenda?

A Splash Of Color On A Gray Day

They are definitely not afraid of color at Maison Amiot in Quebec City.

It's raining quite hard and the wind is howling at my house today. This colorful woodwork definitely cheers me up. Have a great weekend. Rosemary

Royal Mail Goes To The Dogs (And Cats)

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home’s stamp of approval
A temporary truce was called yesterday when Royal Mail carriers helped celebrate the 150th anniversary of the world-famous Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. "Since 1860, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home has worked tirelessly to care for and re-home over three million dogs and cats, and the stamps are an excellent way to celebrate 150 years of dedicated care." The charity began life as the 'Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs' in Holloway, north London in 1860. Eleven years later it moved to Battersea and in 1883 it started taking in cats.

All of the lucky models are ex-residents that have been successfully placed in loving homes. Once abandoned, they are now First Class pets. The photographs were taken over several days in London and Windsor by renowned animal photographer Steve Hoskins. Such a happy story. My dog Webster was adopted from an animal shelter. I wonder if the USPS would be interested in having him pose for a stamp?

Bathrooms On Parade

Each of the bathrooms caught my eye for one reason or another. I never thought of toilet paper as a decorative element until I saw the last one. I love the stainless steel toilet too. Wouldn't it be nice to have a fireplace as in the first photo? The middle ones are all charming cottage baths.

The rain has started as promised and we are supposed to have two storm systems before it ends on Sunday. Good reading and movie watching weather. I really have to chain myself to the filing cabinet for some serious tax paperwork too. Ugh. Have a wonderful weekend.

I was very excited when I found this article. I know these designers and I once owned this painting. Really! I always called him Mr. Wilson. It's so nice to see that he found a good home.

Lavender Fields Forever

Here's your daily dose of aroma therapy. Focus on the picture and inhale. Doesn't all that lavender in Sonoma California smell wonderful? I feel so relaxed now. Just beautiful.
