My Feathered Nest In Fine Form





It's time for Feather My Nest Friday,so today I'd like to share my study/ piano/sitting by the laptop room.
yes, I have a white couch with five children. It isn't spotless ,
                                                         but I'm okay with that.


                 
                 this trunk I treasure, it belonged to my husband's grandmother.
                   I have it filled with photo albums.
                                        
                                                                           
                                                                   




     my kids play piano here.... five kids have had lessons on this piano. I love to hear them play .(most days) Lately Christmas carols have filled this room.














                                                                                                   

                                                       













                                   this light was salvaged from a dump...


































             This is where I read and write....



              I fell in love with these drapes when I saw them.
                     They add just that touch of glam which I like.





 This room has a story; like many rooms do, the floor we changed shortly after we lived here. I sold flowers from my garden and then a wood stove to be able to afford it at that time.  The piano was also purchased by saving money in a tin for a few summers of selling birdbaths.
The couch has a bit of a story as I saw it advertised in the newspaper and liked it. I thought it fit perfectly into my then Victorian themed, wallpapered ,living room. After I tired of that; I planned to get rid of it and purchase more contemporary furniture.
 Somehow it took on a new look (or was it me) when I  painted the room a brown colour a few years ago. Now my strong feelings of either like or dislike for the couch have dissolved into a sort of passive oblivion.
 Time will tell how long it remains a stoic member of this family.



Thank-you for visiting, I hope you had a cup of tea in your hand,
and warm, happy thoughts in your heart and home.

From Our Farm..To You.

Here is a couple of pictures for you from our farm...

                         
                          my two youngest had an impromptu day off school as the teachers had a one day strike,(enough said) here they are brushing one horse, and I really wonder what the other one is thinking...




               a menagerie of sorts ....one of our cats, our dog;
 Canyon, don't you just love those eyes?
               a fine feathered chicken, and our remaining three; sheep...Snap, Crackle and Pop.

 


I couldn't resist adding this photo, even though dear Quacker (duck) has passed on and also the rooster which I admit I had a love/hate relationship with.. you would understand if you've ever been woken up by incessant crowing..... may they rest easy.
I do miss them on occasion...







 
                 Thanks so much for stopping by our farm....my hubby thinks we should name it
                                                                                                                       Touch and Go Farm.:)
Peace and Blessings on your week ahead:

A Christmas Collage

                 I love decorating the house for the season...



                              A Few Vignettes ....for you
 
                         ordinary surfaces become special....

           greenery always adds a nice ambiance...


Christmas music plays with gusto,shopping bags appear mysteriously,
and cookies are baked....
favorite books are read again....



                as Christmas and all it's beauty 
                            seeps into the shadows of our heart.

  May all the decorations be dim; compared to the wonder and beauty of Him

First Impressions

             A front porch is so much fun to decorate....

        It can be a great clue to the owners taste and style....
         mine is a lot like me: not too formal. perhaps relaxed and a bit whimsical  that is SO much better a word than odd.( which apparently is a synonym.)
           
                                         The Front Door                                
                                       
                   I haven't had something on my door for a while...
                  but I had fun making this wreath. It's actually only fallen off once so far!


                               





Sometimes a spark can light a fire... that's what happened when I spied a trio of red lanterns a while ago.The hunt for a red lantern began....I couldn't find one in my price range so after investing in a can of spray paint my old one was transformed.also the skates which were near by...
