Wow ~ Crazy for Collections!


When you visit our cottage it's no secret that we are passionate
about certain things and our collections display these passions.
Of course, there is my love of all things equestrian.
I have never outgrown my love of horses!



I have a large collection of horse prints and horse art of all forms
and of course ...
Vintage velvet helmets, boots and spurs.



And of course you will see lots of dogs everywhere too!



Bentley doesn't get jealous because he is the Top Dog around here!
And he has his own collection of stuffed dogs too.



Then there is my hubby's passion for golf.


Actually for David it's more like a religion and his temples are
Pebble Beach and Augusta!
I think that we must own every book on golf ever written.
I even serve pimento cheese during the US Open.




So while the men talk about shaving strokes off their scores
and perhaps having a snifter of port with a fine cigar ...
Let's talk about decorating, recipes and crafts and ...

Let's visit some Wednesday Parties

By the way ~ I am so grateful for cyber parties because I am
home with the flu again!!

Bentley ~ Your Daddy has mentioned bringing home a Bulldog.
What do you think about that?
I agree ~ they do snore and drool a lot!

Love,
Susan and Bentley

  4. A fox dressed for the hunt? Priceless!


    A RED-LESS DAY?

    “Oh, my goodness, oh, my dear!
    Don’t you think it’s very clear
    That a red-less day’s a drag?”

  8. I enjoyed your blog and post. I have never been around horses too much. However, I enjoy watching the horse races and even had the pleasure of attending one. The race was over before I knew what was happening.

  11. Hi Susan, This is all so pretty. I love the tartan plaid and the cute dogs. I can understand the golf religion thing since my husband is afflicted with it too. Get better soon!

  14. oops, having problems with my comments tonight. must be this horrible headache. I love your collection, The photo of Bentley is my favorite. I had yorkies myself long ago. I found a craved coral one while trifting. most of any ink is gone around the eyes & what ever features they must of colored, so it could pass for a scotty. but I say it is a Yorkie ;) Faythe @ GMT

  16. What fascinating collections. And I'm with you. All these fun holiday party blog posts with ideas and activities to enjoy are great for all of us who can't always get out and about - including those in the Sandwich Generation who are often too busy dealing with caring for the elderly parents and babysitting grandchildren to go out to parties. But this way, we can still have celebrate the holidays from home.

  17. My two granddogs are bulldogs. They absolutely snore and drool....a lot! I love your equestrian collection and I'm crazy about that plaid. This is my favorite kind of cottage style.

  25. Love your displays Susan! I love anything horses too. We call Pilot our minature horse!!

    I can't believe you have the flu again! Tell Bentley to take good care of you.
    Does David really want a bulldog? They are cute the French ones are adorable! The Vet I used to work for raised Frenchy's and Rottweilers...what a combo! But both adorable!

    Get well soon!!

  26. Me, too. I stopped riding about 4 years ago. Not because I wanted to but because I couldn't keep up with my horse any more (not in the city) and she is now at a barn near Mount Vernon teaching little girls how to ride. Although most of my house is white, shabby chic with splashes of pink, I do have a living room where my helmet is propped up on the fireplace, my boots and riding crop sitting nearby and a lifesize figure of the same Mr. Fox that you have on the fireplace ledge looking very handsome in his hunt colors.
