Paris...

I experienced Paris as a twenty one year old college student. I was forever touched by her beauty. 

My daughter sees the chaos on the news and asks, "What happened now, Mommy?".

The world has gone mad.

Pray...without ceasing...for peace.

November Kitchen Window

Again...my kitchen window for November is full of pumpkins, bittersweet and Shooner Redware. I just can't help myself.

I've added a couple of new pieces to my collection...a tiny pitcher with dots...and a pretty little pitcher.

*****************************

We have been enjoying the new look of our mantle. 

I need to put my hooking chair to use...right after I dust that little side table!

Hope you all are enjoying this wonderful time of year. I've finished my Christmas sewing for my friend's shop in Dade City. I did a lot of wool applique...hence, the wool dust that coats the furniture in my sun room.  

If you happen to be in Central Florida on Saturday, stop by Antiques on the Main Street...it's the best little shop in town!

Enjoy the day,

Robyn

Happy All Hallow's Eve!

Have a fun and safe weekend everybody!

Enjoy the day,

Atlantic Beach

Last week we spent several days in Atlantic Beach, a place we had never been. It is on the coast up by Jacksonville.  

Every evening, while Mr.MW and Annie enjoyed the pool, I walked the beach...for miles.

I gathered shells and feathers to add to our collections. 

I observed the efforts of the day's beach goers. 

I added a few inches to a simple scarf I am knitting for the daughter of a friend.

I snapped a few photos and...

enjoyed the sunset.

It was a slow, quiet few days. The weather was perfect. 

The company...the best...and...

the hallway had polka dots!

Enjoy the day,

Don't be a turkey...

Here he is...my favorite fowl. This beautiful fraktur style watercolor was painted by Lori Brechlin and I am so happy he lives here with us.

Enjoy the day,

Pumpkin Tyme

It's not really fall around our home until Pumpkin Tyme makes his appearance. He's settled into the cornhusk wreath above the mantle and loves the view of the bird feeder in the backyard. 

Pumpkin Tyme was sewn by Angela Hillstrom from Of Cloth and Hand. He was inspired by an original painting by Lori Brechlin from Notforgotten Farm. Both of these talented ladies are among my favorite contemporary folk artists. I am so happy this sweet fellow lives here with us.

Oh...while I'm thinking of it, Pumpkin Tyme says it's voting time over at Martha Stewart's American Made Contest. He hopes you will vote for the lady who was inspired to paint him...Lori Brechlin.

Go vote...six, yes 6 times a day!

Have a great weekend!
