Mop Philosophy Monday


 I just don't think you can ever go wrong with potatoes.  I've never met a single person who doesn't like them.  Have you?  If so you must tell and we need to hear the whole story.
 Besides buying three more bags of delicious potatoes at the grocery store I picked up these little gourds.  So autumnal.

I've definitely been going through one of those nesting phases.  My furniture has been taking many trips back and forth to the upholsterers.

How do you like MrBP's "new" reading chair?
 I sourced the chintz from the Designer Fabric Outlet in Toronto.  In the end I needed nine yards!  Bigger patterns will do that.

I rescued an old broken-down chair:
 I wish I had taken a "before" picture as this was in terrible condition.  It was covered with a hideous green velvet and had springs and other scary things sticking out of it everywhere.
It is clear to see that the Blue Inspiration came from the rug.
 Other news in nesting: Autumn Smells.  I have just discovered Diptyque candles and it was love at first smell.  Have you had a sniff of this one, Feu de Bois?  It smells exactly like a roaring fireplace.  How they do that I have no idea.

Of course you can't go wrong with cookies to scent the whole house with fabulousness, with the added benefit of cheering everybody up immensely.

 I hope your week is off to an excellent beginning.  Doing any nesting?  Embracing autumn?
