~lovely cottage full of books~

Hello hello!!

Happy Thursday to my bloggy friends!

I've got the cutest home to share with you, but first

 a weather update......my goodness, how will

you go on without knowing the weather over here! hee hee...

today is lovely...clouds are clearing off to

some beautiful 70 degree sunshine....

we were actually in the 90's for a week or 2~

just as soon as the kids started back to school....

um....ya....kids go back to school & weather gets hot!!

C  R  A  Z  Y!!!

is this not the cutest little cottage??

k, not really so little but sooooo cute & full of

charm &  B  O  O  K  S!

I loooooooooove books.........!

in fact, I hate...hate...hate to leave bookstores...

Mr. T & T has to push & nudge me out the door as

the stores close up for the day........

There is just  N O T H I N G  better

than sitting in a big comfy chair with a stack

of books...........is there??? :)

so I was particularly drawn to this home

which is full of them!

I think since the weather here is so gloomy 99% most

of the time.....that in order to soothe myself on those

miserable rainy days ~  I dream up a scheme of

sitting in a cozy chair, sipping hot tea, wrapped in warm blanket, with a big ol' pile of books.....



it is the only way to survive in the NW!

that of course & a bunch of Jane Austen movies!

but no need to go there right now.....

not yet because the sun is shining!

and hopefully we have at least another month or so

to enjoy it.....cross your fingers for me!

oh to have a fireplace in the kitchen......

we had one once....in an amazing victorian duplex

we rented right after we got married....

it was a dream!

and get this -  the owner had replaced many

cabinets and such with antique armoires!

in the bathroom, in the bedroom, in the kitchen...

it was divine.....*sigh*

so I do have a book recommendation for all y'all.....

I just finished "The Help"

I wanted to read it before I see the movie.

It was really good......I liked it a lot.....

so if you are in need of a good read, I would

highly recommend it!

Enjoy your Thursday~

hope the sun is shining wherever you are! :)

xoxoxo,
