The weather has been so cooperative for us to work on the garden make-over....
Murphy is still enjoying sunbathing and he is getting used to the fence. One thing he does enjoy is sitting on the stool in the kitchen
We have added a hutch.
Behind the two glass doors we have Lisa's mother's china. The pale green pattern hand painted pattern is called Green Thistle Arabia. It was their first china when they married and was bought in Finland by Jerry, Lisa's dad who travelled the world.
The center cubby holds some of my tea cups and a tea pot which will change periodically
Lower bottom center hold wine and a few smaller tea pots.
The stainless steel counter top holds a Demitasse coffee set and in the corner a tea cup, a gift from Lisa that is from the "Grace" collection.
Across the room is the dining table and sidebar. Lisa brought with her a lovely cabinet...
Lisa's dad Jerry made this cabinet and her mom Carol painted the design.
On the top we have started an "air head" collection.
On the top we have started an "air head" collection.
That is what we have named them as they hold an air plant on top of their heads. We are quite happy with how it all looks. We certainly have been very busy around here.
I had a nice surprise yesterday. Lisa informed me before leaving for work that a Fed Ex package was arriving. When is did I sent her a text and she told me to open it to get a gift for me!
It is a heavy canvas tote, 21x23x11. Huge! It is stamped the Boston Public Library on the front and inside it says; "The Commonwealth require the education of the people as the safeguard of order and liberty." It can carry 27 pounds of books....or lots of crafts.... or Murphy! Some of the proceeds from purchase benefit the Boston Library. The library still uses these to ferry books from one branch to another.
So although creative hands have been idle, things have been on the move around here. So nice that you had some time to visit. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
