The summer is
officially over at our house.
School started today
and the house is very quiet.
I found this lovely saying
and thought I would share it
with you.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeletei loves the cows. You know I have a life sized cow head in my kitchen. I hope summer is not completely over at my house as I have project and it has been to hot to do them. So I have to work, work, work. The painting of the farmers is Divine. Love it. Richard from My Old Historic House.

Love it all, Alison. You surely have the decorating touch. Those paintings are wonderful!

ReplyDeleteGreat display, Alison! I love the pieces you've put on your buffet! Nice size chalkboard, too.

ReplyDeleteLove,Debbie:)
I love your decorating style. It's so homey and traditional and comfortable. Your lythograph is lovely and that tin cow is just sweet. Enjoy your quiet home. Pamela
ReplyDeleteWow, school is in session already? We still have a month to go! I guess little ones start a bit later. Love your quote! liz
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice quote--I've never heard it. And such a gorgeous frame on your chalkboard. LOVE that tin cow also. It's all very inspiring...
ReplyDeleteLove your chalkboard...and the new cow addition! :o)
ReplyDeleteHey, girl! I probably sound like a broken record (based on prior comments) but I really LOVE THAT TIN COW! And I also smiled when I saw your hedge apples (as we used to call them in Kansas) or osage oranges (as they call them in these here parts). My dear husband has been known to steal them out of people's yards for me to use as decorations in the fall! Don't you just love them? And thanks for linking up over at Club G.W. with Charm Bracelet Diva! It's great to see you there!

OH this is lovely...I love all of the natural elements...and I have cow envy over your tin advertising cow! I have always loved those!
ReplyDeleteThat oil painting above your buffet really caught my eye. I love it! Was that a find from somewhere? Oil paintings are one of the #1 things I scope out in a resale shop or flea market. Love the photos!

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me and leaving such an encouraging comment, coming from someone with such excellent taste makes it all the more appreciated. have a happy day!
Alison, I love the farm scene painting and the containers with Osage Oranges, feathers and is that corks in the other one? I can't tell. Do Osage Oranges grow near you? The farm scene and Osage oranges remind me of my grandfather's farm in TN. Actually, I like your whole vignette... but then I always do.:)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Babs
Simply.....stunning!
