Now that I have a mudroom, I have actually left Butchy out there for a while, walking on the throw rugs until his feel gets nice and dry. He doesn't seem to mind it too much. I'm delighted that you like my projects, I am really enjoying the blue bottles in the window . . . they look so pretty when the sun is shining through that window:)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-40043455881843822862014-11-07T08:21:04.861-08:002014-11-07T08:21:04.861-08:00Good Morning Melanie, thank you for your encouragi...Good Morning Melanie, thank you for your encouraging words . . . I love visiting with you here in blog-land. I putter around my house on a rainy day, but you would head out to find a new used book store or eatery.

I love all your posts because your lovely personality shines through and I love seeing what you're up to. I love your new bathroom window. I like how the glass is frosted so that you don't need to cover the window up with any kind of shade or curtain. But the best part is that little shelf that you put across the window. It adds so much personality. The blue glass is so beautiful...I've always been a sucker for glass bottles in windows and blue is my favorite. I really like how you painted the rake too, and transformed it into a necklace hanging.
