Natural order of things................


Large Antique French dough bowl, a little bit expensive but so gorgeous ~ purchased with the pine farm table two years ago.  I loved its burnt end, did the dough catch fire perhaps?  Picked it over the more perfect bowls!
Thought they belonged together.....country table and old wood bowl.


Giant spools of beautiful natural linen yarn found recently at Pirate's Chest flea market for $1.99 each, a steal!


My sweet roses, still quite lively and pretty to look at as I post and say good morning to each of you. 
Have a happy day.

  4. To 'welltraveled'
    - I'll not be using old blog ACROSS THE POND anymore because I'm unable to post pix on it! Sad to let it go but am enjoying this new one - have lots of sidebar work still to do! I now use the Blogger In Draft option to post which enables larger photo format (but no spellcheck for some reason!). I agree that the photos seem clearer than before.

    Thanks for stopping by with comments - always nice to hear from you - do you have a blog? it won't allow me access when I click on your name!

    Happy day - Mary

  9. Mary, loved receiving your newsy email. I'll respond shortly.
    I love the simplicity of a dough bowl. And you are so correct about the linen being a bargain. I recently ordered just a small spool for some journaling projects. I couldn't believe how expensive linen thread has become.
    Always enjoy my visits to your beautiful blog.
    Hugs to you ~ Sarah

  10. Love burnt bowl and your still soft pink roses. You inspired me to buy a bunch of similar colored roses at Costco yesterday. I hope they dry as beautifully as your do. The linen string is so delightful and what a buy. I found several balls of them a few months ago, maybe I will put them in my wood bowl. I like the look. Thanks so much for all you share.

  14. I sat through an Auction one night to buy 2 of those wooden Bowls for my God Daughter. One was $100 and the narrow one 60. She loves them...

  20. That bread bowl is a perfect example of wabi-sabi. Which I always get mixed up with wasabi and so had to look it up yet again to make sure I got it right.
