Some House and Vignettes...
Top of hutch in Dining Room. The screen is actually from my mud room. I thought it looked cuter there than on the window!
Living Room coffee table...The Farm Chicks new book - really awesome! Check out their website http://www.thefarmchicks.typepad.com/. The family photo is my mom, her parents and sister circa 1945. It was taken in my aunt's backyard...right around the corner from where I grew up. My aunt was like a grandma to me - I was at her house all the time. I know exactly where that photo was taken.
Pics of my mom and grandma.

Something About Scotties
I don't know if it's Mary Engelbreit's influence, or the small terriers I had growing up, or if they are just plain cute, but I love Scottish Terriers! I collect figurines, pictures, pillows, bookends...anything with a Scottie will do! Here is a sampling of my collection:
Found this old doorstop at a garage sale.
This little guy was a resale shop find.
He's from a darling shop in Lake Geneva. I'll have to take pictures in her shop one of these days so you can drool all over her merchandise with me!

Same little shop in Lake Geneva. He's heavy!

Antique shop - this one shop had a bunch of Scottie stuff - I wish I could've bought it all!!! If you visit Becky's blog at www.sweetcottagedreams.blogspot.com you'll see her love of Scotties - she has two adorable ones!

Headed to Lake Geneva
Just returned from a wonderful two week vacation where my husband and I went on a Baltic Cruise. We went to London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, St. Petersburg, Talinn, Gdansk, Helsinki, and Oslo! So many beautiful palaces, churches, towns, buildings...I was in awe! The towns were full of history and it made me think about the people that had lived there before and my ancestors who came from some of those cities so long ago. Now we are headed to our cottage in Lake Geneva for the fourth of July weekend. This is a picture of a cottage near ours that I just adore. She always has the cutest flower boxes and the house is oozing with charm. I'd love to see the inside!!! Don't you wonder about some houses wishing you could walk up and tour the inside because from the outside they just look so inviting? Happy 4th of July! God Bless America!
