I am so pleased with the treasures I found this weekend. 6 dozen vintage wooden spools of thread. Some of them still even have thread and the colors of those threads are so beautiful. A book of campfire song book published in 1939 and my most favorite, 2 yards of "The Emperor's Garden", a vintage (I think) Waverly fabric. I'm working hard to learn more about it. If you can give me some direction, please do. I can't tell you how much I love it.
There's a little guy who needs some Christmas cheer early this year (read more here). Please add a stop to the post office to your list of errands.
I can imagine myself sitting here looking out the window as the landscape flies past. My destination, a museum where I will wander admiring beautiful things in quiet and then ride back thinking about all I'd seen. I've ridden a train once long ago. I don't remember what it was like. I'd like to do it again. It seems so romantically academic. Besides, I really love to look at the scenery on trips and that's so hard to do when you are driving.
This might be a fun way to keep the weekly dinner menu and even the grocery list.
This room is beautiful but to make it mine I'd trade the wood art piece for the black cabinet and the chairs shown for the blue armless (I don't like arms on chairs).

I'm tired. It was a busy weekend plus the time change. This looks like all I'd like to see today, given the choice. There is no choice though. Time to get going!
This blanket is handstiched from vintage Indian fabrics, each one is unique (perfect). {Jayson Home and Garden}
I'd love it if this space were mine. I'd curl up there on that tufted couch with a blanket and start reading the stack of books. Truth be told, I'd pick up were I left off on any one of those books because I usually have 3-5 going at any given time.
How about a little treat? Post a comment over the weekend on this post or send me an email and on *Monday, I'll pick someone randomly to receive some of these versatile paper butterflies to do with as you wish. {Porkshop}
Project #1 for my sewing class has been turned in for grading and will be ready for your critique very soon. Today I'll start Project #2. I've chosen this pattern and will be completing the view on the bottom right. I've had my eye on this pattern for quite some time but I'm the kind of girl who really needs a deadline to get things done which is why this class is so good for me. I've chosen a grey sateen fabric which is simply a woven cotton that looks shiny because of it's weave type. If all goes well, I'll be wearing this on Christmas Eve and it will look as good as the JCrew number pictured here. Keep your fingers crossed.
Old tools collected and sold to you & me to give them new life. What a great concept. I'd love them even more if they came with a note about the gardener with whom they previously did work.
Orange is probably my favorite accent color but I've never thought to use it on the walls. I do like this application. With the black border and natural art, it's so very interesting. If I had just the right space for it, I might consider being this bold. {Martha}
