As I've said, a great deal of my time each day revolves around this office. I believe in beauty in all I do and having it around me. This is my mouse pad and my note pad I use. Pink is the main color in this house.
A small pillow I have from an out-of-print Cyrus Clark fabric. It sits on my window seat in this office. I can view the street from this perch in my office but I don't really look out the window much when I'm on the computer.
Another tiny pillow I have that I made from an antique Wilendur tablecloth. That little rose in the bottom of the photo is a little Old Country Roses teacup my daughter gave me and I made a small hanging arrangement out of it.
The ribbon roses I made are on a vintage lace curtain that adorn that window.

One of a pair of hanging electric paper lantern my daughter gave me. There is one on each side. I added the roses and ribbon. They give the most romantic light at night.
Another lamp I froufrou-ed up many years ago. I buy them at garage sales, paint them and then decal, decoupage or paint roses on them.

I'm very grateful to be able to stay home. I know a lot of women want to work forever but not me. Also, some don't have that luxury. I'm very fortunate that I have a wonderful hubby who can support me to be here when our adult kids call and want to chat with me. I'll be forever grateful for that.

Oh Connie, you are such a girlie girl! Just like me! Now, to answer your question, did I hurt myself? I'm a little scarred emotionally but physically I'll have use of my fingers again in another day or two.

Hi, Connie,
ReplyDeleteI always love to get a glimpse into your lovely cottage home. I loved all your pretty pillows and lamps. That lantern is just spectacular. I love everything about it. It is so romantic. I, too, am thankful that I have been able to retire and enjoy a little down time at home. Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving Day. Vicki
Hi Connie, first time here to your blog. Amen to staying at home! I love that you also love it!
ReplyDeleteI just feel so blessed that I have always been able to be at home. 5 of our children have flown the coop, but we have 1 lone last little chickadee still in the nest.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Enjoy your day.
