Hello there....I used to have a claw foot bathtub and I took a bath in it every night. The water went right up to my neck and I could adjust the faucet with my toes. We no longer have a tub and we both miss it, especially in the winter. But we do have an outside shower which we use almost until winter when we have to shut off the outside water.
As you can see, the calender is coming! Thanks for looking and here's a link!

Back from the big trip

Did you miss me? Honey and I went up to visit the house in Cape Breton , Nova Scotia in Canada. We had great weather, and it was Honey's first time up yonder way.
Here's some views of the lake......the church.....

the sunset. The next day we were off to see the cabot trail....


First stop, my favorite place in the world, Whale Cove. You can see the little cottages that people can rent for vacation...There is a tiny graveyard up there and what a view!



You can walk down to the beach from the cliffs....I found a perfect heart from a quahog shell and lots of sea glass....




The view towards Chetticamp...





Here's some views from the trail....






Honey got down to taste the salt water...







The view coming home....More tomorrow and lots to show you on the upcoming Nantucket Christmas Stroll Show!xo

Handpainted Frames, Witches and a walk

The Farmer's Market was cancelled because of the "Storm" that didn't happen....it was actually sunny....So, I worked in the Studio....I took some pictures of some personalized frames that I had painted for Brooke....


This one is backed by a wallpaper design I did years back.....


These are 5 x 7 frames....you can add a matt for a smaller photo.....


Here are the witches being glittered.....ooooooohhhhhhh!



On Sunday, Honey and I went for a walk....here we are in Polpis.....




The fields were a buzzing with bees collecting from the wild astors and goldenrod.....a woman was picking wild grapes, and we saw a beautiful Red Tailed Hawk....It flew by , screeched, and sat up in a tree checking us out.



There it is.....



A very nice weekend! Here's a link
