I don’t often post photos of our house because it always seems like a work in progress. But you can take a peek over at Stumbles and Stitches as part of their Feather Your Nest series. Things I did not show in these photos: pile of stuff that needs to be sorted at top of the stairs, the giant, teetering stack of papers and books on my desk, dust in various spots, tangle of cords from my husband’s eight million routers, pee-stained closet carpet from months of sometimes unsuccessful dog training, and the stack of things to be donated that has been blocking the pathway to my closet for months now. Just so you know.
Yippee! I can’t wait to see–especially now that you have been so forthcoming about what is not shown. Happy day, Ellen. PS. I have no need for a cookie jar but I sure love yours.
I know this is not what this post was about, but the cookie jar in your photo is the one that was in my kitchen when I was growing up. Brought back a flood of memories. I think I will need to make some cookies for my kids today.
Loved it when I saw it on Stumbles and Stitches – such lovely little corners. (And thank you! for not showing an immaculate, perfect house. I always think their is way too much perfection on the internet.)
What a great weaving you included in this picture! I think it looks VERY familiar 🙂 So cool!
Yes. She has an EXCELLENT art teacher!
I want that cookie jar-we had one when I was growing up, too.
What a beautiful home! I hear you about the corners that are stuffed with things and the piles of detritus just off camera. Same story over here. I’m not sure my entire house has ever been clean at the same time. LOL. I have a teddy bear that is made from a quilt that looks very like the one you have. It’s from my husband’s side of the family.
My mom has the exact same cookie jar! I believe it was her grandmother’s.I love all of the wonderful memories wrapped up in it.
We had that cookie jar too! Officially on the hunt now…
thanks for the trip back to girlhood 🙂
