Labor of Love

DAILY LOVE




I love this little seed company. I pour over their catalog in the winter months, and I refer to it all spring and summer long. Their seeds are amazing. Last summer, I probably had 50+ volunteer tomato plants sprout up from the previous season. I dug them up and transplanted them. I put them in peat pots and gave them away. It was crazy. Here is my compost bin from a few days ago and yes, those are Matt's Wild Cherry Tomatoes growing out of the vents. You just got to love them and I do, I do, I do! Go check them out here.




Crap! Crap! Crap! Not my idea of Organic Crap! Damn Cat!


Just planted a whole bed of Basil, all seed, except the four plants that some Basil Goddess or God left on my front stoop yesterday. Thank you. I would love to return the LOVE with some Matt's Cherry Tomatoes, so let me know who you are.

LABOR OF LOVE


Why do cats gravitate to the newest, nicest, upholstery, cushions, or bedding? These two brothers, Boo and Radley, were simultaneously sleeping in two different locals, but on my latest house projects- blue and white ticking on the front porch, and ice blue velvet on an antique chair. Yes, of course, I let them stay there as long as they wished and gave them some love to boot. They are so cute.

Have a great, laid back weekend, Nan

Paper Love



DAILY LOVE






I love pretty paper. Yes, I do. Now available at Firefly
WAH- HOO!

I love chairs.






LOVE LOVE LIST


I strive to give photo credits and usually write it down, but I "took" this one,
so long ago that I didn't. I just LOVE it on so many levels. Simple. Foreign-it's gotta be. Now here is a photo of a chair that I heart very much and had covered 12 years ago... I growl every time a child or cat or anyone, for that matter, goes near it. You may think I am kidding on the growling, but I am not. It is a very effective method, especially when you don't use it often. I highly recommend it. It was my grandmother's slipper chair. The Zebra chair I found locally. They had four and in retrospect, I should have bought them all. However, at the time, we had just downsized and lost about 1,000 sq. feet. Did I mention I also have a "chair problem". Well, I do... Back to the Zebra, that is vinyl and the seat is also vinyl navy faux snakeskin! Damn, I should have bought them all. It is now my computer chair and I also heart it very, very much.

LOVE LOVE LIST for today anyway...


When I was in Scotland, last August, I saw a lot of doors of houses painted this great green!
The Porsche ain't bad either...

Love licking a bowl.

Surprisingly (to myself), I love to watch little league baseball.

Monday

Do you see what I see? Do you see the castles too?*

Introducing my LOVE LOVE LIST,
that I am now going to do daily- Monday through Friday. It will probably not be this long everyday, but I wanted you to get the idea. Enjoy, Nan

*I love this image and this blog, now on my blog list.

LOVE LOVE LIST

This is the coolest book that I have seen in a long, long while.
Amazing interiors, country side, and characters. Available at my store.




BACON!!! Oh, yes I do. However, now I bake it at 400 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes (thick sliced).
I also heart, heart Thompson Farms in Dixie, GA.

I am loving these sandwich rounds, hearty multi-grain, 100 calories.


Just planted four of these in my yard.

Easter Sunday

He has risen! He has risen indeed! Alleluia! Alleluia!
I asked both of my cute nephews to smile for me. Well, they were both a little preoccupied,
with their newly acquired Easter loot, so I just took their picture anyway. Of course, they turned out to be the best.


My Easter hued boys.
Abandoned Easter Basket demanding to be photographed.
My Easter Table- kind of Hippy inspired with paper flowers from here.
R.Wood plates and very cool Dransfield & Ross napkins from my store. Instead,
of place cards, I dyed eggs with guest's names on them and put them in individual nests.
