A cup of Tea in peace........

 I wanted to share this vintage blanket and what I thought was a hat
and found out its a plant pot cover from the 60's......that I thrifted
over Christmas vacation.
 I got a bunch of paper whites at home depot for $3 that I have planted
for a little taste of Spring...to soon?
 Our temps have been way below zero at night, with a high of zero during the day
sooooooo cold!!!
 Must become a book owl with these long winter night ahead....
I bought these 2 books just for there covers......

Today has been long awaited the kids are back in school
and even hubby is gone today.....packed them all lunches and sent them on there
merry little way........long awaited peace after having them home for two weeks!

I'm off to see how all of you are doing.

  2. That 'hat' is awesome!!! :-) Curious to see how it would look as a planter though...
    Over here it is soooo warm, for the time of year that is. I'm missing the wintry-feeling...

  9. It would have been so funny if you had worn it as a hat! Will you put a plant in it? Weird to know you are so cold when it's so muggy here, not to mention far too wet. Crappy summer so far.

  12. I am intrigued by the plant cover! It certainly is very 60s-ish and I've never seen anything like it! Love, love, love all your French enamelware especially your header and in the previous post. Happy New Year to you and your family.

  19. Oooh, I love all those pretty shades of green. The paperwhites will be so pretty when they start to bloom!

  20. Oh wow, that is cold. My husband is in the snow & war in Afghanistan & i'm here, pool side, or at the beach, soaking up the sun & fun, it's so weird how a married couple can live such seperate lives.
    Our children get long school holidays over Summer (now) & mine go back last out of the entire country, no idea why my territory is on it's own time line, but we're loving it. Love Posie

  21. You found some sweet finds! I am growing some paperwhites too, but they are taking their time. Perhaps they know just when to bloom - when things are cold & gray!
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
    Hugs,
