I love the antiques in all of Jessie Wilcox Smith's illustrations. These two young girls sitting on early ladderback chairs are concentrating with all their might because when your hands are small tasks like this are very hard. I hope you can find a willing friend to help you with your work today. This is another wonderful illustration that is new to me. How do you wind your yarn?
It's almost time to turn off the computer and settle down to watch The Antiques Roadshow on PBS. I thought you'd enjoy seeing the sun go down in Africa. Goodnight. See you in the morning, Rosemary.
I disagree with #550. I would never put my address on the outside of my luggage. Would you? I think this is the first time the author and I don't agree.
The red sofa made me do it.
This beautiful scarlet ibis was photographed in Barbados. WOW. I'm really seeing red today, aren't I?
I've never seen crimson clover. I always plant white clover here at the cottage because it's best for the honeybees. I've been told their tongues aren't long enough to get the nectar from the other colors. Bumblebees (see next photo) don't have this problem. This field is absolutely beautiful, isn't it? Wonder where it's located?
I like what I see, don't you? All white including the marble countertop with the accessories providing the only color. It's simple and stunning, just perfect.
How wonderful is this playhouse made from woven English willow? Such fun awaits the lucky child who gets a handmade architectural masterpiece by Willow Design. I wouldn't mind taking a nap inside one of these eco-castles later this afternoon. I love the way this one blends into its surroundings unlike the awful, garish plastic versions I see dotting the landscape in the US. Just something that caught my eye this week that I thought you'd like too. Have a great Sunday, Rosemary.
Such a Lovely Composition. I like to sit at this kitchen table and enjoy a bite, wouldn't you?
These iced shortbread Cookies patterned after an Osborn & Little wallpaper look too pretty to eat, don't they? Order online from Miette in San Francisco. This very wallpaper decorates their shop. What a great gift for an interior designer. Click around their site and be sure to look at the photo gallery and swoon over the other amazingly beautiful baked confections they offer via mail order. I'm impressed, aren't you? Now I'm hungry and think it's time to cook my breakfast. If I were in SF I'd go there in person and eat something delicious. Have a great weekend, Rosemary.
