Tuesday

Hi All,
I had such a nice day off. I played Tuesday tennis, then lunch with the tennis girls. I visited a good friend's Mother, in the hospital, then home. My carpenter was here doing some of this and that in the Cape house. When something needs replaced, I always try to have it recreated the same as the original work, in the house. My carpenters are the best! I am sharing a few snippets around the house. Vignette above my sink...
I love my vintage sifter...

A little basket of dishtowels...

    That's neat that you are keeping the house as it was originally planned. Sometimes that's extra work.

    I love that sifter, too. The vignette is so cute!

    Your house is adorable, and you're so wise to make sure that anything you do is in keeping with the original.

    Hi Robyn,
    I always love seeing pics of your charming home!
    It's warm enough to play tennis in Illinois?
    We still have mounds of snow!
    Hugs,
    Cindy

    The sifter is nice but the wire basket behind it is really cool too.

    "My Carpenters" Now, Robin, that phrase just conjurers up all sorts of projects! LOL!When we were building our house I had a "my carpenter" but not since! These days I'm my own carpenter and things don't get done near as quickly! Sounds like you had a great day!

    Hi Robin! I love the pictures of your beautiful home. I have not played tennis in years. Maybe, it is time to dust off the ole' tennis racket. :)

    Quaint little vignettes for a charmingly quaint little Cape. ;)
