Autumn Morning Rain

It's dark and gray outside. There is soft rain falling on the leaves shed by our big walnut trees. I am curled up in a vintage quilt with my cup of tea ~ enjoying a quiet start to my day.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely day and don't forget to visit our dear friend Marty for Table Top Tuesday!

Bentley is back inside under my quilt ~ he doesn't like the rain. Maybe it reminds him of a bath.

Love,

Susan and Bentley

A Pink Prize for a Pink Saturday

Yesterday I was so very excited to open a box from my dear friend Cynthia of Cynthia's Cottage Design. Inside was this beautiful Old English Rose tea cup and saucer by Royal Albert. I won it on Cynthia's newest blog The Petite Villa. This new blog is all about her miniatures. I adore miniatures and if you like them too you must visit her new site. It is absolutely charming and delightful!! She also has an etsy shop filled with her creations. Of course her timing was perfect so that I could share this sweet cup and saucer for Pink Saturday.

I love a hot cup of tea and will be enjoying the lovely pink roses each time I brew a cup. Now brew a cup of tea, or pour yourself a cup of coffee and head on over to visit our dear friend Beverly for more Pink Saturday posts!

What is that Bentley? You think you would like a cup of tea? But sweetie, doggies don't drink tea. How about a fresh bowl of water and a biscuit instead?

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Vintage Lamp Love

I have an on going love affair with vintage lamps. While we have many of them in our little cottage, whenever I find one while I am out at a garage sale, a thrift store or an antique shop, it's hard for me to pass it up. To me, they look so sweet. They represent another era when life was a bit more simple and easy.

Of course my husband likes to tease me that we should notify the power company of a power surge when we turn off all of the lamps in the cottage for the night. So ... to celebrate this 1 year anniversary of Show and Tell Friday, here I am to light the way. Happy Anniversary Cindy!!

Do you want to help your Mum turn off some lights before we go to bed??

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Vintage Thingie and an Award

This is my vintage cranberry scoop. It is hanging in my kitchen underneath another vintage thingie. Bentley and I are very excited. We were given an award by Pets Direct in England. Thank you John for bestowing this award upon us. Bentley and I are very honored to accept your generosity. Please go visit Pets Direct and please don't forget to visit our lovely hostess, Suzanne, The Colorado Lady for another weekly Vintage Thingie Thursday.

Are you excited Bentley? Just think ~ an award from your homeland. If we could bypass the quarantine, Momma would book a trip for us to visit your homeland soon!! Wait a minute, you should start calling me Mum!

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Just Because
