One lone little egg cup ...
Add some itsy bits and pieces ...
It's a new pincushion!
Okay, that was fun!
Let's go visit ~
How about a new stuffed toy made from itsy bits and pieces for
you Bentley?

The Relaxation Equation
Hot summer days and too much work brings on the desire to kick back
So ...
I have come up with the Relaxation Equation
PJ's + Fuzzy Slippers + Milk and Cookies + A Cozy Spot =
Napping on a Sunday Afternoon
Works for me!
I am joining
Bentley ~ Do you need a nap too? I thought you might!

Rosy Retreat
What a pleasure it is when I have a few moments to be
alone and browse through magazines and dream of
gardens, decorating, cottages and collecting vintage lovelies from
antique and thrift shops.
This absolutely adorable Spode plate was a gift to me from my dear friend
Maria. Isn't it just the sweetest plate? I love the eyelet trim. Maria found
it for me at a local thrift shop. She knew it would be perfect for a post on my blog.
It is Spode's Billingsley Rose. Thank you Maria!!
Looks like I will have to take this Rosy Retreat inside because the sky is
getting dark and gray. Thanks for stopping by today!
Joining ~
and
Hurry up Bentley ~ looks like rain!!

What Have You Been Doing?
Have you remembered to keep the child within alive?
Have you taken a few moments each day to give thanks
for your blessings?
Have you given back to your neighbors and your community?
Yesterday my husband and I attended the funeral for the father of
a dear friend of ours. This man came to Idaho all the way from
Colorado on a pack mule in 1936! He eventually settled in Ontario, Oregon,
homesteaded, married and raised seven great kids. He used his God given talents to
prosper his own family and to continually give back to his country and his
community. He never took no for an answer and enriched the lives of
many by his service to others.
A life well lived.
I am reminded to be hopeful, be of service to others and to be thankful.
Time is fleeting ~ make the most of each moment.
Lots of love,
Susan and Bentley

Cottage Blues
Love cottage blues!
I'm keeping Smiling Sally in my thoughts and prayers and
hope that she makes a speedy recovery and can go home soon!
Go visit ~
And send her some cheer!
Bentley ~ it's going to be another hot one today, don't chase those
poor squirrels too much and let's make sure they have some water
to drink!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
