spring, newness & majik & random!

Three weeks back from Maui. The sun has started to shine. I don't think we'll have such a delayed spring as last year. I'm thankful for that! Today our little garden pavement was pressure-washed and I am beginning to think of getting some new plants for the pots with brown dirt in them.

Last week I went on a bit of a spree to find a carpet for the kitchen. I just hear all of you saying how unpractical, etc., etc. Kitchen? But you know... This was something I just wanted to do & I'm not up for Any Scolding! I did live in a house with a kitchen carpet!

When I met first George he had an awesome collection of carpets from Turkey mostly, & two from Iran. I had a very modest collection of my own, but a large historical connection to 'The Look'. This was 'The Look' of many of the Boston Homes I grew up with.

I wish I had taken photos of the carpets I brought home on a trial basis, because they were delicious, truly. But I can share images of stuff from our house. 

 

So, TA-DA, the new kitchen one.  Do I see scraps of food on it? TUT TUT! I DO!!  But those can be completely carpet-swept away, which is one of the methods for care.

                                            So moving on...time for tulips.

And 0rdinary things with majik about them.

                                                        That's plenty for today!
