Weekend.....

Why does the weekend scoot by so quickly?

Saturday was a lovely day, my husband and I went to an Estate Sale

and a Yard Sale in the lovely little town of Millerton, NY. If you
are a tea drinker, Millerton is home to Harney and Sons Tea Company.
They have a delightful tasting room, gift shop and cafe.

 I scored some great stuff...Haeger Pottery and some beautifully
tarnished silverplate.

After a delicious lunch we traveled a few back roads...

The clouds were gorgeous and sweeping views of the rolling hills

 are really not captured in this photo.

Quaker Hill Road in Pawling, NY is a beautiful sun dappled drive.

I bought a lovely Rhododendron to plant.

Sunday was a rainy day and I spent it at my drawing table working on
my latest project: coloring pages. You can find the digital downloads on my Etsy shop:

Foxes in the Forest is my latest one.

Enjoy your week!

Peonies!

Peonies are my favorite flower. I love this pink and white one.

This one is an heirloom from a transplanted bush from a local botanical garden that closed.

I love the late afternoon sunlight and the delicate scent of these.

Setting up for a still life...

and celebrating a special birthday for a special someone with my favorite men!

A Week of Flowers

My week started off with beautiful Mother's Day Flowers from my son. I wish he was able to come home but we had a nice phone chat.

My lilac bush that was planted two years ago had a few blooms and a gorgeous visitor this week.

The Mid Atlantic White Violet made it's appearance.

As did the Yellow Clover flower.

And ended with this lovely niece going to her senior prom.

A very Happy Mother's Day to all!

Bitsy Owls

I finished up this little guy on Friday, it was a special request to do a smaller owl.

He stands at 5 1/2" tall. 

 His buddy Blue.

Christmas Belles!

I am working on a new design for my dolls and a Christmas color way is always fun.

I'm using a selection of quilt shop fabrics for the body and vintage trims.

As with my Bones Sisters, the Christmas Belles are fun to be with and 

bring a smile to my face!

On my sewing table.....

This has been such a long winter, but it has blessed me with plenty of time

to organize my office and do some deep cleaning.

Yesterday I spent some quality time at my sewing table.

It's not too early to start thinking Christmas!
