Weekend activities

Here's what I did over the weekend:

Found a Harker teapot for a quarter at an estate sale. It was a quarter because it has a big chip and a crack in it, which won't show when it's sitting on a shelf.  Or when the hydrangeas are nice enough to drape themselves over it. One bonus to all the rain we're getting: my hydrangea has never looked better.

Embroidered a Belgian linen guest towel that I picked up at a sale a few months ago. It had the design stamped on it already. There's nothing like a project that can be finished in one sitting. Know how to tell a towel is Belgian linen? There's a little tag that says "100 percent linen. Made in Belgium."

Considered the very real possibility that I could become a crazy lady who does nothing but post pictures of her cat on her blog. Patch isn't in jail; she's peeking between the balusters on the stairs. I took lots of pictures of her this weekend. Either she was being particularly cute, or I really am going off the deep end. If I start collecting oodles of cats instead of oodles of other stuff, please intervene.

Rain here,too. Jealous of your teapot. I collect the blue...have some plates and cups and saucers. Love it. My hydrangea is going wild this year, too. Have been good and have resisted most sales. Did get a set of old metal garden chairs for $5 each, and a stash of shutters on the side of the road. Also, found an old hat box in a recycling bin with original black wide brimmed straw hat inside! Very Audrey.

Love your blue Harker teapot, the hydrangea, and the embroidered guest towel! And - just for future reference or general information - there can NEVER be too many pictures of cute kitty cats!!

I love that hydrangea, I had one almost in my shopping cart at the garden center (do you call a shop that sells gardenstuff a garden center too?) today when hubby (vacation...) pointed me at the price tag-> 30 euro's (50 dollars) then I almost bought hydrangae pinky winky (colors from green into pink) but that one was 50 bugs too.
No hydrangae for me today, but of course we didn't go home empty handed: a camellia, a helleborus, foxglove and a big blooming red rose. Mmm perhaps I should make a picture and post more often too! Have a nice day! Thanks for the id your linen lesson, I bet you can recognize dutch linen too ;-D Great american embroidery ( that's something I can recognize!!)

I really like your picture of the hydrangeas in the teapot. The colors work so well together and look so fresh.

Cute picture of your kitty too.

Well, I for one think Patch is very deserving of having lots of photos taken of her. She's quite lovely. So are all of your other photos. I collect lots of things for displaying flowers in too!
