or at least getting my messy house in order before tax season is coming along. My blogging friend, Linda, painted me this coffee picture a long time ago - and I framed it a couple of months later - and I finally found the perfect spot for it. Isn't it cute? I think of her every time I turn on the teapot.
Today my friends, Tom & Al, came by and put up my little shelf in the kitchen and re-arranged the advertising signs to accommodate the new addition. I wanted a space to store some spices I use all the time as well as my jar of bread machine yeast.
So after I tidied up the kitchen counter and washed the jars and generally cleaned up my mess from all the Christmas baking and other disasters, I made a nice loaf of bread.
Aggie and I sampled the crust. Looks like we're having grilled muenster cheese for dinner...
Not a great photo - I'll probably have to take one with the flash after dark - but the guys also put up the curtain rod for my new office valance. It's sort of a sage green and beige stripe; the rod is aluminum that looks like bronze and the finials sort of go with the finials on the lamps.
And they made all this home improvement work look so easy!
Much better!
And I was so excited about the window valance and the shelf, I forgot to feed them cake!
It's Aggie's fault - she didn't remind me.
I LOVED all your cozy pictures!! Wish I could pop in and have a cup of tea and a piece of that delicious looking cake!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you could, too!
ReplyDeleteDawn,
ReplyDeleteI simply cannot believe it! I just did a post last night featuring a cookbook that belonged to my Grandmother, and there it is in your post! The small plaid one!
Best,
Susan
