Desk Top Tea


Some early mornings are busy ones. Lots of To Do's on the schedule today. Here is my desk top littered with fabric and magazines. Getting ready to put up some new pics on my inspiration board. Nothing like a cup of tea to help keep me focused.



An old pamphlet of slip cover making tips from my New York School of Interior Design days. While I get back to work ...



Here's a To Do List for you ... please stop by and visit Marty's A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday, Terri at Artful Affirmations for Tea Cup Tuesday, our very own Lady Katherine at Lady Katherine's Tea Parlor for Tea Time Tuesday and last but not least, Martha's Tea Cup Tuesday at Martha's Favorites. That should keep you busy and you will come away with lots of inspiration!

Bentley, do you want a slip cover for your bed while I'm at it??

Love,
Susan and Bentley

  1. Dear Susan,
    I have that same fabric on your picture board all over my house! Sweet friends think alike, right!:)
    Bentley need some Milk Bone fabric for his slipcover. I would love to know more about your design school days in NYC. Haven't been to NYC for a few years now.

  16. I do love the idea of your inspiration board. I have one of those boards too...however it was a gift to my MIL before she died in Feb. It was a pink, which really may not go well anywhere in my home.....still thinking.

  18. Ahhh, Susan, the feeling is mutual! Thank you so much. My problem is that I get in such a rush to finish something that I go too fast. I get impatient...my grandmother used to get after me for that when she was teaching me to sew.

    What a cozy little nook to work on your projects..and of course Bently wants a new bed cover! You went to WHAT SCHOOL?? Oh, good grief!! New York School of Interior Design!! :)
    And..you visit me, Susan?? :)
    :) :) :)
    Ok, I know it isn't because of my talent...lol..but still..it's sorta nice. You know??

  21. What a cozy little place to think, write and be inspired! I love your telephone too. You have really created a stunning room.

  22. I agree with you. Visiting all those lovely blogs is very inspiring.

    By the way, Bentley is adorable!! (But you already knew that, right?)

    By your profile, I see that The Major and the Minor is one of your favorite movies. We love that. Ginger Rogers is my husband's all-time favorite actress (we love classic-era movies, even though we're in our 40's!!). Our puppy was named Ginger in honor of Ginger Rogers!

    Blessings,
