17th Century French Alphabet with Flowers

I photographed a page from one of my books on antique alphabets. Some of the letters are repeated and some are omitted. So this is just a sampling but still quite lovely, isn't it? I adore the flowers behind the letters, don't you?

Fabulous Goat Weathervane

I saved this fabulous weathervane to my computer because I love it so much! This goat was made circa 1880 and has survived with most of its yellow undercoat topped with gold leaf. The patina is wonderful! via

Fabulous Screened Porch in Bellport, Long Island NY

The dining area of a fabulous screened porch attached to an 1850s shingled cottage in Bellport. The owner, Elizabeth Roberts, is an architect based in Brooklyn. I honestly don't think I could stop looking at the ceiling if I were there in person.

This porch view overlooks the delightful pool and some wonderful landscaping. Want to go inside the cottage? Really? OK. Here's the link.

Great Galley Kitchen + Irish Cottage

Yup. I could cook here quite nicely. I love diamond stained floor and the topiary window. I would prefer the view to be a country one though. I don't know about having an open window opposite other open windows, especially at night. I had a galley kitchen once in a rental and loved it. via
