I have spent so much time at home these past few months that I
have spent more time fluffing the cottage and enjoying it's various
nooks and crannies. I love my living room because of it's bright
and cheerful yellow walls, and for the sunlight filled mornings
because of its eastern exposure. It's a good place to sit and read
too.
I really have a passion for vintage books. I love their decorative
spines and covers. Whenever I come across one in an antique or
thrift shop I just can't pass it up. I have never appreciated
displaying books with their spines facing the back of a bookcase.
I suppose I dislike that trend because I love to see what others
are reading.
Here is a collection of dog photos of beloved companions who
are no longer with me. I love seeing their little faces, and each one
has special memories for me.
The toile on this chair is just perfection. I have two of them in this
fabric, the style of each chair is slightly different. This one has
fully upholstered arms.
This one does not.
A desk filled with sentimental treasures.
And a lamp full of whimsey.
Staying at home during this pandemic is not always fun, but I take
comfort in appreciating the things I have in nooks and crannies that
make me smile and say "this is home".
It's Friday afternoon. Let's make it a good weekend filled with
memorable moments.
Love,
Susan and Oliver
