It's all in the details

It's been much too hot to take pictures outside

and to tell you the truth 

there isn't much to see out there

as everything is struggling 

just to stay alive.

So...

I thought I'd go through my old

photo's to see what I had

that you might find

interesting. 

Some of you have seen these

photo's before but I

thought I'd post

them again for those who

may have missed them.

These first two photo's 

are of the embroidered

sheer panels I 

bought at JC Penny

years ago when we renovated

our cottage in the city. 

We then bought a huge

Victorian house

in a small farming town

in the country.

I never used the panels there and

almost sold them at our 

garage sale

when we bought our 

cottage in the country.

I was surprised to see how perfect

they were!

They are very well made and have

lovely embroidery all over them.

This is a broach that an elderly

neighbor made for me years ago.

It's heart shaped and covered with 

antique buttons.

Above and below is part of an

antique dresser set I have

on my old oak dresser.

My favorite tea pot.

Above is the dresser set sitting

on the old oak dresser I actually 

bought as a vanity for our 

bathroom renovation.

It didn't work out in there 

but it worked perfect in our bedroom.

Here's a few old photo's 

of the details on this dresser.

The dresser now sits in the corner

to the left.

This is a photo of our bed taken last 

winter.

Even though it's going to be

105 today

AGAIN

I still want to climb into it.

With the ceiling fan blasting on me!

Above are pillows 

that I found at garage sales

in the city.

This beautiful duvet cover 

was given to me by our neighbors

when we lived in the city.

They had never used it!

So there you have it.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing some of the 

details from around the

cottage.

Have a wonderful weekend and stay cool!

Maura :)
