    1. They do find the craziest spots to nap in, don't they?
      Baskets are the bed of choice in this house, though.

  2. I love your cat photos. (If I want to buy a calendar, do I have to order online or can we make a deal here? I heard they went on sale...)
    Come spring and warm weather we'll be sorting through belongings once again. I wonder if I packed any old planters away or if they somehow got tossed four years ago. Wonder what I can do with my old milk glass set?

    1. It would be easier for me if you went through my shop for a calendar. I can print a shipping label there and it's easier to take your money, too. They are only $1 now! :)

  5. Love carrot face - very clever. Was is accidental or created?
    Poor Mr Wren. No doubt thinking of the three houses he has to build only to be ordered by Mrs Wren to pull them all down and build yet another to her specifications. I expect he is wishing he is a Robin. lol

    1. Carrot face just happened spontaneously. I have a whole series of faces in my food. I don't know how they find me, but they do. lol....

      Yes, poor Mr. Wren. He's already looking a little haggard just thinking of the nesting season! lol....

    basket!

    What a clever way to use that planter! Of course you had to buy it with that bird perched on the edge. And it's green like your collection! Perfect for you. But you say purchased it which means it was not in the trash? Pity!

    I don't believe I have ever had a smoothie. They look delicious! And save me a slice of that bread, please. It's never too late for tea time!

    Delightful post, milady.

    1. Yes, I did have to bid on the planter. But you can see why I did! :)

      Do you have a blender? You need to make yourself a smoothie! Just blend yogurt, fruit (frozen is best), milk, vanilla and you might need a little sugar if your fruit is tart. That's it! :)

  7. very pretty photos! I know you are going to take photography class but I don't see how your photos could be better.
    cookies in the bird planter are too cute! I would of bid on it too.

    I thought of you today when I got another manicure, my nails are fake and dark red and I smile every time I look at them.

    1. Oh my,....I'm sure you are excited with anticipation of all the blooms! It's fairly warm here, so it won't be long. But we almost always bloom and then freeze again.

  14. Nice combo of photos. I feel sorry for the robin that has started his journey north too soon.

  17. That zucchini bread and smoothie look delicious! I LOVE your new bird planter/cookie tray. It has great colors and of course, a cute bird : )
    Thank you for the birthday wishes on facebook. Getting ready to go out for dinner and maybe a movie. Sundays are perfect for relaxing in your pj's . I have been doing that most of the day, too.

  18. Delightful post! You have a knack for assembling treasure shots that just work well together. I'd love a smoothie. :)

  19. Marmalade and Socks are my favourite but that's because I am a big cat sap! Love the other ones too... are you sure you should not be teaching a photography course rather than taking one?

    Cats in her wicker
    Cookies in her planter
    Has she been in the liquor?
