The House is Still

The house is still. It's another warm morning to what is supposed to be another hot summer day.

Windows are closed. Dog is quiet. Fans are blowing. It kind of feels like nap time.

Outside I have some sprinklers going. Watching the circular flight of water seems to cool me. Yesterday evening, still waiting for the heat to subside, I suggested to hubby that we spray each other down with the garden hose.

We turned the hose on Lucy instead. She was much obliged.

WHAT, THEN , SHALL WE DO ? ..................

Inspiration is not forthcoming this morning............. coffee is all gone.... dare not have anymore or I shall be buzzing.........
Almond croissant is nearly finished , so no more excuses that I'm still having breakfast.......

It was soooooo much easier in the olden days !!!!! Just sit down at the typewriter, that was it........now there has to be photos, music, videos, dancing girls... oh dear..........

.........isn't it stressful.....what's a blogging girl to do...........
I could do ..........

SHOES........

...........or COCKTAILS.......

...............or FLOWERS........

.....or BATHROOMS......

.........or FOOD.....

..........or FURNITURE.........

..........or ANTIQUE LACE.......

LEFT ON THE SHELF..........

SORRY.............. I'm always going on about how the ' all white ' look can be rather uninspiring but here I am with every picture void of any colour !!!!!!! They are all rather beautiful though , aren't they ? Isn't this first one pretty ? I do like showing pictures that are easy to replicate at home and don't cost a fortune. This is just a really simple shelf but , whoever owns it has a great eye.
I guess that this one is the same...... lots and lots of simple and , I don't think , very expensive crockery , looking lovely on wonderful shelves.

OOooooo....... I'd like this to be in my bathroom !!

I find it amazing , the way people put things together and how good they look. I don't know what that sign is or where it came from but doesn't it look great ?

Here is the larger picture of the one above........ a mixture of random objects that look great together.

It seemed that ,when looking for pictures of shelves , they all seemed to be white !!!!!! Will try harder to find alternative ones with a bit of colour !!........... BUT...... this does look fabulous.

I would think that this is a staged picture ( as most of them are... it's not real life you know !! )
I don't remember having a pink cake to match my espresso cups , roses and book !!!

More gorgeous shelves in a fantastic bathroom..... OOoooo..... a little bit of beige crept in there!!

Here's a pretty one that we could replicate in our own modest homes. Doesn't it look pretty ?

..................................and finally a bit of a cheat.... if you look hard enough , you can just see the shelves !!!........ but what a beautiful photograph of my favourite... peonies. I quite like cherries too !!!!
