My New Blog

Hello dear friends! I have decided to begin a new blog. I have often thought of deleting my blog, but I decided that I should keep it. Not because of the posts, but I would not want to loose all of your sweet and encouraging comments. I prayed about what I should do, and felt I would try beginning a new blog. I am still working on it, but I do have my first post up and hope that all of my sweet friends will visit me. I apologize for any inconvenience it may cause you. Please know how grateful I am for all of you that visit me and take time to leave such kind words, I feel so very blessed to have made such dear friends through blogging! May the Lord bless you!

In the dining room and Pearl the Poodle

Hi sweet friends! I hope you are all are doing well and had a wonderful weekend! My dear husband built and painted this shelf for me. I had so much fun displaying the vintage baby things that I have been collecting.



I was so inspired by my sweet friend, Madai's, tea room post that she recently shared. Do go visit her and see this beautiful tea room. Thank you so much for sharing with us Madai. One day when you have a tea room of your own, it will be as beautiful, charming and sweet as this place is, with you as its beautiful, sweet-spirited proprietress!




I made the curtains, trimming them with vintage lace.



This area is on the opposite side.



A vignette on the dining table. My sweet friend Selia gave me the beautiful antique rose bowl. It usually has chocolates in it, but my dear husband and sweet son have enjoyed them all! They love chocolate!



We have been enjoying the beautiful filet lace tablecloth Madai gave me. It is a perfect fit for our table!



I made these curtains for the door in the dining room, using a tablecloth, more of that vintage lace and a bunch of vintage millenary flowers. Thank you so very much for stopping by my cottage and taking time to look at my dining room. I would love to serve you all tea and cookies! Thank you for all of the sweet and encouraging comments each of you so lovingly leave for me. I treasure them all and I treasure each of you! Now, for Pearl's special post.



My sweet Pearl having such a happy time out of doors wearing her new vintage hankie from our sweet and lovely friend Julie Marie at Idyll Hours. We met Julie Marie through our sweet friend Alice's lovely blog, Thoughts From Alice W.. Isn't it wonderful how we meet others through our friend's blogs?! I am so blessed by all of the friendships I have made through blogging, and so thankful for the kindness, generosity, and talent that all of you share! It truly is amazing! Dear Julie Marie was so sweet to send Pearl a vintage hankie. The colors are perfect and look so pretty on Pearl. She loves wearing it, as you can see! It will be perfect for Autumn, as well.

Pearl and I thank you so much Julie Marie, for the hankie and the lovely card!!! We are so glad to have found your beautiful blog and to have met you!

I hope you all have a wonderful week. I will be back soon to share my parlor. My sweet hubby bought a chair and ottoman for me, so we rearranged the parlor... again! I am so glad my husband and son don't mind moving furniture for me... many times! Love to all of you! May the Lord bless you this week!
