My Cozy Corner

This is my favorite cozy corner.  It's a corner in the master bedroom

right next to a little vintage bookshelf filled with books and behind the

chair is a floor to almost ceiling window that over looks the back

porch.  

This little chair is just my size ~ not too big and not too small.

I love it's white pique slip cover and the cozy quilt on it's back that's

so handy to wrap myself up when I get a bit chilly.  David likes

to keep the thermostat set on freezing lol :-)  The light that comes in

behind me is perfect for reading, but when the skies darken as they

often do here close to the Gulf, there is a little vintage lamp right

next to me to brighten the page.  The little footstool belonged to my

Grandfather and I painted it white and covered it in a shabby rose 

patterned fabric.    It's just the perfect spot for a little alone time

with a cup of tea and a good book.

See that patchwork pillow on the right?  It was one of my first quilting

projects.  I made it for my Mom to use in her sewing room.  I purchased

the quilt at one of my favorite shops back in Idaho.  Although I miss my

Idaho friends, I am so thankful for Facebook and texting because I

hear from many of them all the time.  My Mom's best friend back there

calls me all the time to see how I am.  She was worried about me during

all the flooding in Texas.  And another friend of mine texted me at

4:00 am (3:00 am Mountain time) to see if we were okay.  She couldn't 

sleep and happened to see the massive storms over Texas on the weather

channel.  My adopted sister Robin does the same thing.  And Judy too!

Isn't technology wonderful in an age where we are spread out

all over the place?  Love it!

This is the book I have just started reading.  It's been on my bookshelf

for quite a few years ~ sadly unread.  I have only finished one chapter

and am already hooked.  I am sad that I never read it before, but now

delighted that I saved it for just such a time in my life.

One of my blog readers suggested I start a list of my favorite books.

That's a great suggestion and I will do it and more.  I am going to 

start reviewing some of my favorites that you might enjoy too.

Although I love novels, I am a big fan of non~fiction, so expect

to see several non~fiction titles on my list.

Have a wonderful weekend and I hope y'all have a cozy little

corner in your cottage too that is just perfect for you!

BTW ~ while I am in my cozy comfy reading chair, Bentley is

curled up in another comfy chair nearby.  He is always

close by and has his own favorite spots too.

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
