As an avid reader of Brooke Giannatti's blog, Velvet and Linen, I often come across some beautiful homes she tours or designs.  This one took my breath away on how stunning it is.  I had to share.
Even the most lavish new home could never come close to the exquisite details this home has.

Enjoy the view

Hunting and Gathering



I am going to spend my long cold winter planning for Spring.   I am hunting the Internet for idea's.  I'm gathering them all in my little brain and then I am going to try to make them work come Spring!

I have a plan for my side yard that incorporates my chickens and my girl fort bunkie.
In between the two I think I will grow a garden like the one above.   A little kitchen garden and pea gravel pathways.  In the center the 3 tiered fountain.  Visions are dancing thru my head and I don't think they are in the too hard file.  My little covered porch off the fort will overlook my little garden. Perfect for a lovely summer day of relaxing. A place where neighbors and friends could stop by and pick from the garden and take a few eggs home.
 I think I have it worked out.... hurry Spring!


Sprinkle a little of this on your dinner table


Enjoy these fabulous dinner settings.... I think as a breakfast table your day could never go wrong at any of these, although I do have my favorites!
