Do you ever get this urge for something and you just don't give up until you find it? of course you do... I'm going to believe that's a good trait to have and not some kind of borderline personality disorder... te he Well, I had a bee in my bonnet for a bee skep... I just had to have one for my summer Baker's Rack in the sitting room. Actually, I wanted one to use in my French Garden Frame, but the more I thought about it the more I wanted one just to display for the Summer Version on my baker's rack. I haven't changed much up lately, but having a bee skep always reminds me of a French Country Garden. This little skep isn't very big, but I can just imagine it in a lavender filled garden... maybe soon. I always enjoy my little French Garden Girl lamp here, I light her up every evening for a sweet warm glow. I'm really missing my sunflower displays this year. but I have my "sheeps" that always hang out here... Also want to share this little bit of history... I had to brush up on my historical knowledge of Shakespeare on this little celluloid print. It's a rendering of Anne Hathaway's cottage (Shakespeare's wife) in Stratford-Upon-Avon. It looks like it might have been a souvenir of a trip in the 20's or 30's. We're finishing up the house business... and will be closing on it soon. Everything's out and clean. Now I just want to start looking for a new home, but we've decided to take our time and not be rushed. oooh, that's so hard, I'm itching to get settled! Hope you're having a wonderful week, joining in at these parties: Wow Us Wednesday at Savvy Southern Style xoxo,
