As many are huddling down in the brutal Polar vortex, I hope and pray everyone stays safe and warm in their homes for the duration.

Repurpose
While visiting my friend a few years ago, one thing that
stood out to me was how she uses her quilts around her home.
This vintage Singer stand at one time had a top.
By removing the top, she had rods made to fit across the frame. She now uses it to display a quilt.
A simple idea made into a lovely display area :-)

Hostess Angel
Winter time can be so dark and bleak, but it is also a wonderful
time to enjoy a piping hot cup of tea and share it with a friend.
So pull up a chair and let's enjoy a spot of tea together. My little Hostess Angel is waiting to serve you.
Thank you for joining me today

Evolution
Times change. Things change. When we first came to see this house, the fourth bedroom was set up like this...
After we moved in, we decided to make this bedroom a guest room. Changing it to situate the twin beds that once belonged to my boys.
Recently one of our boys wanted the beds for his own children, so we moved the twin beds out and set up the Queen bed that had been in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Long since vacant when said son married four years ago.
Through the nine years we have lived in this house, this room has continued to evolve.

Red China Love
After Christmas I love to display my red china, especially as we get
closer to Valentine's Day. These are pieces that I have picked up through
the years. I had purposed not buy any more china, but when I came upon Royal Stafford Asiatic Pheasant, well, my resolve dissolved
I bought this teapot at Cracker Barrel many years ago.
I stopped in my tracks when I found Asiatic Pheasant.

Little by little I've purchased red cups and saucers, tea pot and a few dishes.I bought this teapot at Cracker Barrel many years ago.
There were only a few dinner plates, but with the pieces I already have, they make a lovely winter table.
On a trip to Georgia this summer I found this very cute creamer at Queen of Hearts Antiques in Alpharetta.
A few of my Syracuse Strawberry Fields China on display on the hutch.
I'm ready to sit down and enjoy a warm cup of tea and brunch. How about you??
