Remembering

Burning a candle and remembering my Mom.

Also remembering to live life to its fullest, or at least as full as I can get it. Tomorrow is not promised.

Love and miss you, Mom.

Cozy place to sit

I think for a while I need to post quiet corners, images of places I want to sit and read or just be quiet. Aren’t you drawn to these sorts of places? What I love about this is, well, everything. But in particular, the way the bookshelf is built in, and of a darker wood than the light wall. The chair looks beyond comfortable. The big basket trunk as a coffee table is perfect. A roaring fire: check. The blanket on the chair – all ready to snuggle under.

I’m craving about a 6-month hiatus from work. Gee, do you think my work folks will sign off on that?
I hope everyone is having a lovely week, with enough quiet time to keep you sane.

Gingham Style

I have a mad love for gingham. I even love to wear it, though it makes me look like a forest ranger and my husband loathes it on me. But how about these door panels.

The headboard got new clothes, too. And because I love this song so much, please enjoy.

Mint and celedon and dark purple

Irom an amazing blog called Simply Smitten. 

How about the elegant, velvet dark green pillow sitting there fitting so perfectly?
