Saturday musings…………………

Here in the southeast it's beautiful again and should reach 

76F today!  I have plans to be out and about much of the 

day - crop pants and loafers sound good, boots can stay 

in the closet. 

Speaking of loafers, I'm longing for a pair in navy. 

These are from J. Crew and certainly look airy, comfy and 

cool for hot weather.

Latvian Hand Knit

Despite warmer days, when I came across this gorgeous 

hand knit wool and alpaca sweater coat by DoroTheus 

from Riga, Latvia, I fell madly in love and wouldn't mind 

it turning cold again if I could have it to cuddle up in! 

Actually another very cold front may come through early 

next week with possible snow! As it's made to order, 

wonder if they can knit it/ship it by then!!!

My dining room.

Do your rooms 'talk'? Mine have been chattering to me all 

this week requesting to be dusted, polished, vacuumed, 

mopped etc. Recent scraping of textured ceiling, painting 

walls, installing carpet etc. made this week one of doing 

all of the above…………plus I worked in the garden pruning 

and tidying up. 

I need more hours in my day, don't you?

SuzAnna's Antiques, Raleigh, NC 

Today I will venture to SuzAnna's Antiques for a 

quick look around at the Spring vignettes - it's always a 

chance to see my granddaughter working diligently, and 

to catch up with Susie & Jennie the lovely shop owners. 

I'm trying to cut back on purchasing for a 

while - this recent house project requiring much 

moving and storing, reminded me I have far too much stuff! 

If I don't stop bringing things home I'll be opening Mary's Antiques!!!

Yes, he's still here, resting on the birdbath, which 

needs a good hose down, and I think he may be checking 

out the birdhouse where he and Mrs.B raised 

their offspring the last two years. I would be so 

happy to have baby Eastern bluebirds fluttering around 

the garden again this Spring.

Hope your Saturday is full of pleasant hours and 

fun times.
