An Evening with Charlotte York--Kristin Davis






Have you heard about Kristin Davis' new clothing line?  Humm...  I wonder if it will be very Charlottesque?  I'll find out in a few weeks.  I'll be attending a fashion show debuting the collection.  I'll be sure to fill you in and let you know if she's as cute in person as she seems to be on the television.   Oh, and I'll let  you know about the clothes too!

Are You Blackberried out?


Honestly, I need to know?  Are you sick of the Blackberry Farm pictures?  I took over a hundred while I was there.  I dare not show you all of them!  I'd have to change my blog's name!

If you want to see more, LEAVE A COMMENT and let me know specifics.  If you don't want to see any more and want me to move on, LEAVE A COMMENT.  I aim to please.

I Have Been Tagged!


I have been tagged by precious Kappa Prep from Monograms and Manicures.  There's just something so sweet about Kappa.  I think of her as my little preppy blog sister. 

Here goes: 
1.  I love going to the dentist.  I have been fortunate never to have had any dental issues, therefore the experience is always pleasant.  
  
2.  I can't stand Wasabi in any form.

3.  I adore Colgate Total toothpaste--paste or gel.

4.  I live in an old house that uses skeleton keys.

5.  I pride myself on being a light packer.

6.  I adore hats.  Anyone want to join me in a revival of the chapeau?


7.  I've never broken a bone.

Now for the folks I'm going to tag:
(By the way, there's no pressure from this Granny--play along only if you want to or have the time.  Some bloggers just aren't into games of tag.  We're just happy you stopped by!)

I'm Back to Normal, whatever that is!

I'm back to my usual self.  Thank you all so much for your kind comments.  They made me feel much better.  

Let me just say, one can survive on Gatorade and saltines for several days.  Now I'm thinking coffee and biscuits!

Granny's Turned Greener!

So sorry, my dear friends.  Granny has been sick!  I must have gotten a rotten apple!  I'll be back to my normal posting self before you know it.  Thanks for hanging in there!

Farm Fantasy Part III--the master suite

Ahhh!  The master bedroom.  Lovely and relaxing.  The walls are chocolate brown.  This room shows contrast to perfection.    


Here's a little closer view of the great lamp and the walls/ceilings.  Note that the ceilings are planks and the crown moulding is rather simple.  Look at how the curtain rod was hung as well. 


There is a door to the left that leads to a private porch with rockers.  The double doors lead to the bathroom and walk in closet.  To the right of the fireplace is an amazing secretary.  Why didn't I get a picture of that?  Oh, well.  I suppose I'll have to just go back!


Shall we have a collective gasp over the bathroom?  I adore this!  Just look at how the mirrors were addressed.  Isn't that great!  The natural light and view are hardly obstructed.  (Oh, and the VIEW!!!!!)


Don't you just want to run you hands over this surface!  Another thing to note--gray grout--so smart!  Timeless.  This bath would be stylish in 1925 or 2025.

Could you soak in this tub for an hour or what?  Note the discrete flat screen at the foot of the tub too.  The shower is to the right--and would hold six people.  Huge.  It did have double everything--two rain shower heads, two hand showers, etc.  


This picture is just a little bonus.  This is the window out of my room upstairs.  You saw the rest of this suite in the first Blackberry post.  Who couldn't curl up here?  And look at that view!

Of everything that you have seen, what do you like the most?  Have you seen anything that turned you off?  I'd like to hear it all.  

We have more to see.  I'll keep you posted this week!
