I thought some of our friends and family might like to see us at home. We are not always off gallivanting, after all. Not a few of our outings have been searches for appliances or furnishings for our little cottage, so I'll tell you about a few things. The lovely velvet wing back that Martin is enjoying we spotted at the local Goodwill! A deal at $49. Our lovely linen slip-cover sofa is IKEA, purchased in Toronto and assembled at home by Martin. We are big IKEA fans, and have purchased other items that I'll share another time. The coffee table, vintage 1940? was a $5.00 yard sale find and is in mint condition--even the embossed leather top. The smiling lady in the other photo is taking her husbands favorite dessert out of the oven, rice pudding. He was smiling too. I've always liked white cupboards and especially little glass doors. The perfect place for my teapots. That's another reason to smile. I like the little shelf too, and the wallpaper. The former owner, Mrs. Kelley, aged 93, kept this little kitchen spic & span. Another reason to smile. And she lined all the shelves with paper lace. What a gal!
