To Slip or Not to Slip

Our first brand new piece of furniture was a large denim sofa, which I still have today. I think I ended up with the sofa because it was blue and I LOVE blue - not necessarily denim. Periodically, I've wondered what it'd be like or wondered how to actually attempt to make some slip covers for the sofa.

After reading Melissa's (from The Inspired Room) post about her basic Pottery Barn sofa with slip cover (and the deal she landed) on and then over at Cote de Texas Joni shares her passion and LOVE of slip covers . . . I got a bit excited and my thoughts went whirling thinking that maybe I just can make my own slip covers . . . in between cleaning up the garden and baking lemon tarts. Just pulled them good and hot out of the oven.

Acts of Kindness

When you see those bumper stickers that say something about "showing acts of random kindness" what do you think?

This was the epitome of a random act of kindness on Monday.

Look What Someone Sweet Sent Me

Got home from a day being out. . . and to my pleasant surprise . . .

Someone so thoughtful sent me these . . .

. . . and, I'm surely smiling right now.

Neighborly Etiquette

Something just had to be created with all these ripe figs . . .

. . . before these two men in the house ate them. So, I made this awesome (if I say so myself) French Fig Cherry Torte. And, being the kind who wants to share and give, I asked these two men to walk some over to the widow across the street.

The phone rang around 7:50 am and it was the widow across the street. She wanted to know if I'd noticed the plate she returned on the table in our front patio.

She awoke at 4:30 am to bake these blueberry muffins so as to not return the plate empty.

Neighborly etiquette says . . . when you are blessed in receiving a plate or bowl or dish of something special . . .

. . . you return the plate or bowl or dish back with something special.
