A Red Plaid Table Top


So here we are at Ash Tree Cottage. A big snow storm is rolling in from the west. I have heard that 20 feet (no not inches, but feet) of snow has fallen in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and is headed this way. Thanksgiving is Thursday ~ so much to do. How about a cup of tea served from a red vintage book of children's poetry? The calm before the storm. A nice warm cup of tea ... so civilized, don't you agree?



It's a busy week, so take a short break and visit Marty's Table Top Tuesday and Sue's Rednesday for a wee bit of a fun and relaxation. Oh and look, Terri and Martha are having Tea Cup Tuesday too. That's always fun!

Bentley, you were just out in the cottage garden ... what is the snow report???

Love,
Susan and Bentley

  7. Susan,
    Beautiful! I love plaid and blue and white. Wish I could have some tea with you. Bentley, get your cute little tail indoors and snuggle with Momma before the snow hits.
    Janie, snow in Chicago for Thanksgiving? I hope some of it drifts south :)

  9. Wow 20 feet!!! The last few years here in upstate New York there really hasn't been the level of snowfall we used to have but they say this year we are going to get lots. I am kind of looking forward to it! Stay warm Bentley and watch for those huge drifts! Take care..

  10. I love your plaid table topper. I have some place mats in plaid I got for Christmas many years ago but I rarely use them since it's just the two of us now. I've been going to sell them on ebay but just been lazy, chickee... Maybe soon.

  19. Susan, I hope you don't get that much snow! All I can think of is how in the world would Bentley be able to go outside. He's so teeny, he'd have to tunnel his way through!
    Happy REDnesday and Happy Thanksgiving!
