Almost Wordless Wednesday: Around the House

38°f/3.3°C, overcast but the rain didn't arrive. Much of the snow has gone; our little creek sounded like a waterfall last night, carrying away the runoff. 

Getting into some Valentine's Day colors a little late. I never unpacked my actual decorations this year.


The cream and sugar in the above photo belonged to my mother.









No idea who this lady is. She was in the frame when I got it, but I need to put one of mine in there!


Yesterday I figured I'd better sort out what to wear for granddaughter Cassie's wedding, which is in two weeks. The invitation stipulated "your best semi-formal or cocktail attire". Gulp! Did I even own anything like that? A dig into the back of the closet where I kept some of my storytelling clothes did the trick. A long travel knit dress in deep brown, with a burnout velvet shawl in deep ambers, greens, and rust, with sparkly beads. Next a dig into another closet for shoes. Plain black wedge heels, and I think I will pass. Whew, shopping trip avoided!

  2. Very elegant outfit for the wedding! And so much pretty glass to display and enjoy. Is there a special name for those tilting frames? I've always loved that design of a frame, in part because it makes so much sense to be able to tilt an image for best viewing without glare or reflections or such. Now I wonder what happened to the ones my parents had...

  3. You have the best glassware. Beautiful pieces and I like your dress!

  4. I think your outfit will do nicely. I have a few dresses for more formal occasions, but the shoes are always the hard part for me. Nothing is more comfortable than my running shoes. :)
