I love vintage homes. Homes with character and charm. Homes
with nooks and crannies. Homes with floors that creak and growth charts
on the walls displaying the heights of the kids who grew up there.
I love kitchen sinks with skirts. Always have, always will. Whenever I
see a skirt on a kitchen sink it makes me smile.
I love a cottage style bath ~ no pretentious bathroom for me.
I love quilts. No wait, love is not the appropriate term ~
I ADORE quilts like this one from Susan Branch's Blog. Isn't it precious?
I have been working on a quilt in this same pattern ~
I hope to finish it one day soon, but at the rate I am going that could
be a long way off!
I love vintage table cloths ~ so cheerful!
And charming cottage windows like this one!
Bentley and I are staying inside just dreaming of our favorite
things. Still to hot and too smokey outside from all of the
fires to do much else. Later on this evening I will pour a glass
of my favorite wine and give Bentley a treat while we visit some of
our favorite blogs. Right Bentley? Yep, he's in favor of a treat!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
You know how I love this style, too! Every picture wonderful! I love you quilt!!! Bentley, I think that would make a nice doggie quilt!

Susan and Bentley: Be sure to enjoy your lazy time tonight with your wine and your treats. I guess they would both be treats! Love all the cottage pictures. Remember that one with the red checked sink skirt when you FINALLY get to see my kitchen redo. It will ring a bell, I think..Happy Thursday..Judy
ReplyDeleteSusan, I must fess up. I was so smitten with your blue and white background (that I simply won't shut up about) that I changed mine to a darker blue. I started a Grandmother' Flower Garden quilt a long time ago doing it with little pieces of typing paper inside it and you sewed around the perimeter. Never finished it. One of the few I never finished. Wonder what happened to that? This post was delightful, because it showed all my favorite things as well.

Lovely list of favorites, Susan! :D That sweet window is so charming!
ReplyDeleteYou shared some of my favorite things too. Keep stitching. You'll finish that beauty of a quilt. Grandmother's Flower Garden is a wonderful pattern, but not an easy one to piece with all those hexagons. ;-) Love your choice of fabrics. Enjoy your evening........Sarah
ReplyDeleteI love all those things, too. Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love all of those things also! My husbands cousin is making us a lighthouse quilt for our cottage in Maine, I can't wait to see it, especially since I had a hand in some of the embroidery !
ReplyDeleteKeep cool, and enjoy the lazy hazy days of summer!
Great minds....I could have written this post! Lovely, Susan.
