Murphy's Kitchen Shop - Stillwater Trip

Fiestaware in a rainbow of colors.

Howabout an English teapot in your favorite color?

These remind me of the famous English crockery, Cornishware

Quilts from Stillwater Trip

The subtle colors of these unfinished quilt tops are similar to the color combinations that have been brewing in my own imagination recently. I like the designs as they are simple but have impact.

Newtonia Guest Bedroom

A few things left over from moving my sister's stuff to her added with a few sheers, revitalized chair and several pillows - The guest room is ready. Amy Style.

New on the Nightstand

Frances Mayes is known for Under the Tuscan Sun and Bella Tuscany. I'm excited to read her book on discovering poetry. English Pleasure Gardens was written 100 years ago and has been recently republished with all the same fantastic line drawings by the author. Writing Tools introduces useful knowledge every writer should know. 

Added to those three are two others: a book on Benjamin Franklin and a collection of Twentieth Century American poetry. It's difficult to put any of these books down.
