I switched to the flannel sheets!
And since today is a cold rainy day, I baked more rosemary bread.
I've stocked up on nuts to feed to the squirrels all winter long.
My potting table is covered in leaves.
My Japanese maples have turned but have yet to drop their leaves.
Remember all the pics I've shown of Teddy swimming in lakes. When there is the tiniest bit of drizzle she stands at the door and stares at it and won't step her paw outside. Go figure. Chow Chows are so weird!
Now that the leaves have fallen I get a glimpse of my statues.
The Fall Flowering Cherry has dropped all it's leaves.
Teddy checks the grounds.
Hey mama...you know I don't like getting my picture taken.
The Oak Leaf Hydrangeas are showing their best colors right now.
The flowers are drying on these hydrangeas.
A maple leaf lands right on top of my cement cabbage.
Not many leaves left to fall.
One of the few pumpkins not yet devoured by the squirrels.
I haven't been doing much thrifting but headed out the other day to check out some of the stores. High on a shelf surrounded by Christmas decorations, I spotted a beat up silver box with a sticker reading 29.95. I figured that was the price for an empty box. You can imagine how surprised I was when I opened the box and found this whole set of silver.
It is triple plate Roger's 1874 "Old Colony". The last thing I needed was a set of silver but at this price there was no way I was passing it up. Some of the serving pieces are nickel silver.
The pattern is a lovely garland and each piece is monogrammed with an "N".I think these will go to my daughter!

What a great box You found! I wonder what the letter N stands for?
Have a great day now!
Christer.
Teddy photos are adorable. Love her in the doorway looking down, and the one where the comment is, she doesn't like having her picture made, is so precious!
Rosemary bread, well, you already know how I feel about that!
Great find, the silver and box! Beautiful.
Happy day and blessings.
xoxo to Teddy Red Fluffs.
LOVE the leaves in your garden...and you know i LOVE the flannel sheets...
so cozy..we snuggled with l'il teddy this morning in ours.....
happy day!
that pattern is really cool - it looks like a tiny spiderweb on the top round part.
My flannel sheets went on yesterday and I've made No Knead Bread every day this week, I'm not kidding. One day 3 or 4 loaves, I've forgotten. My niece Angie is even making it. It's part of my daily life now. I start to panic when I'm down to 4 slices.
Great find on the silver! I have a friend who uses thrift-found silver cutlery all the time. They are all missmatched and charming, and it's fun to have a meal with her and look at all the different patterns at the table.
Thanks,
Kat
What names could we come up with for the set of silver that start with N.??
Oh..you were so lucky to find that set of silver flatware. Just beautiful. I am always on the lookout for some..and like you a lot of things go to my daughters.
SO pretty!
I had a great day on Saturday too.
It's fun, thrifting, isn't it?
My cat adores rain. She'll yowl to go out in the rain-- but she cries Murder when we give her a bath! These mad creatures of ours!
