New Additions

I have some new additions to our cottage.  In an effort to make this formal living

room a little less stiff and a lot more cozy, I searched for and found a couple of

new toile pillows for the antique camelback sofa.  

I wanted to repeat a form of toile in the room to accent the toile Chippendale

chairs on either side of the sofa.  I found these equestrian theme pillows.

You know me ~ any time there is a horse involved, there I am!  Trust me,

if I could find a tack room scented air freshener I would be all over it!

Oh and here is a new Roo for the breakfast room table.  Roos are running

wild in my breakfast room and kitchen.  Good thing they are not real

because you know who would be busy chasing them.

Do you remember when I said I was thinking of having some Audobon prints

framed for either side of the mirror over the sideboard in the dining room?

Well that was before I found these equestrian prints on ebay.   I have not hung

them yet because I want to change out the glass to an non-reflective one.

Can you see the script on the matting?  Love it and the crest down 

at the bottom too.

I was so thrilled to find these and knew they had to find there way

down here to Texas.  

David, Bentley and I spent the weekend in San Antonio.  We left on 

Thursday.   We stayed at the Hotel Contessa right on the river walk.

Our suite had a river view and was pet friendly.  Bentley got a little

bag full of treats and a ball from the management when he arrived.

Needless to say that was a big hit with the pup!  We did lots of 

walking along the miles of pathway along the river.  We ate way too

much delicious food, had lots of fun and returned home refreshed and

renewed.  It was just what we all needed!  I hope y'all had a

wonderful Easter weekend too.

When we arrived back home, I let Bentley out in the backyard so
he could explore a bit while we unloaded our luggage.  He
got quite a workout because he found a CAT!!! in the yard.
There was a lot of racing through the tropicals and barking
going on.  But he was successful and came back in with
a big huge smile on his face!  Then he plopped down on the
floor and let out a big sigh.  Mission accomplished!

Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
