Beautifuly Illustrated  Vintage Romance Novel Covers

This Book is simpily titled

I love to think of the women who owned these books
many years ago, and their lives.

  I think of them sitting in beautiful gardens, in
beautiful dresses reading and daydreaming.

Valentines Table For Two


I wanted to set just a Small Sweet Table For Two.
So I used the center table in the front parlor.


Cozy :-)

This Tiny Porcelain Rose Candle Holder, 
is sooo sweet.


I tied a old keys to my front door heart to the napkins
for alittle whimsey.


Sugar Cookies are a meal,  right?

Spring Flowers

Cielo at The House in the Roses,  is hosting 
SHOW OFF YOUR COTTAGE MONDAY. 

Since so many of you are buried knee deep in snow, 
I thought I would share with you some of my spring blooming flowers

Here in the Northwest we almost always have snow 
(which I really enjoy),
but this year it passed us by,  and spring is coming into full swing.

So yesterday I planted some primroses,  fairy primroses, and hyacinths.
They smell wonderful!
I picked a Tiny Bouquet of Snowdrops,
 and used my minature mint julip cup for a vase.

Don't you Love how the center of the snowdrops have an upsidedown green heart!
It is Valentines week you know :-)

The Winter Daphne is just beginning to bloom, 
they perfume the yard and smell incredible!

Thanks for stopping by,
