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

Rednesday

Wow Us Wednesday

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

Make Way for Birdies!

I found this last week.

It's a Victorian style birdcage.

I won't put any birds in it because I can't bear to see any animal

in a cage ~ but it sure will look great on my front porch.

Of course, that's if and when we start having some spring like

weather. It snowed this morning and the winds were very strong.

I'm taking a quick trip to visit Marty for

Table Top Tuesday.

Bentley ~ lets get under that down filled comforter

and hibernate until spring!!

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Spring Shopping

I get so excited when spring is just around the corner.

I want to air out the cottage and fluff it all up!

I love to stop by some of my favorite shops for inspiration

and maybe a little something special to add

to feather our nest.

I am so lucky to have a few special shops just a few blocks away.

One of them is Forget Me Not Antiques.

Lots of wonderful inspiration.

Lovely vintage linens ...

Cute cushions and ...

Words of wisdom too!

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone and don't forget to

stop by The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays.

I am going to be having a couple of special giveaways to usher

in spring. So be sure to stop in again.

Bentley ~ are you prepared to pick the winners of our

giveaways?

Love,

Susan and Bentley
