I'm feeling so happy every single time I look at these yellow notecards with their royal emblem, are they not cheering and perfect? They were a gift from an extremely thoughtful friend. Some people know just the thing and they know just when to gift it. That's talent + intelligence.
I've been drinking pints of tea instead of pints of something else I'd rather be drinking.
You know what I'm talking about.
I polished my copper pots...
but not the chandelier in the parlour, though I did think about it.
I made some vegetable soup, inspired by our beautiful
Janet of course!
These soup bowls from Williams Sonoma have been little kitchen soldiers. You can see they're a bit chipped but none the worse for the wear.
I bought a new refrigerator, it's from
Fisher&Paykel. I know it's wrong to love things but I love my new refrigerator.
My favourite fridge accessory, the bottle of Veuve Cliquot, seems happier too.
We went out for lunch on Saturday and MrBP was wearing such an attractive coat-with-scarf-over-flannel-shirt that I asked him to pose for the blog. He didn't mind one bit, well you can see for yourself that the outfit gave him confidence.
I've been noting down any ideas in my little Smythson book, also a gift from friends who know just how much I love a monogram.
I'm not sure how to deal with the fact that Scout is not enjoying having her picture taken but I think her body language tells a thousand tales:
 |
| Scout, smile! Hmph. |
Doesn't she know that she's a dog with a blog? She's going to have to learn the art of the blog pose. Don't worry, it's part of our puppy training program, we're on it.
I fluffed my pillows because it's always something I forget to do. Now I make myself check those cushions every time I walk past. How do they get squished and rumpled so quickly? It's a mystery.
I like a woven wicker tray even though they collect dust like the dickens.
I definitely owe you all a Rebecca Update: she is emerging from the snow, I think she looks Victorious:

| Rebecca in the garden, emerging from the snow. |
I didn't want to frighten you with pictures of our garden last week, we were pretty much buried. You can see it is melting and someday, someday we might even see the ground once more.
 |
| Look we have far less snow. |
I won't hold my breath though.
I hope your week starts off brilliant and stays that way.
