It's so nice to have the windows open after the last week with them shut because of the smoke.
A lovely breeze coming from the south cool and fresh will air the house out and the weather is just right today after the heat and the hot westerly winds of the last couple of days.
The fires are still burning but the weather has improved so the firefighters are getting on top of them slowly.
Every window is open today.
I've been up in the craft room today doing a bit of sewing and bits and pieces. I think the dolls are happy for some fresh air too.
We had a friend stay overnight last night he is off to New Zealand today but had to work today.
He redid his packing last night he is only going for a few days but had enough for 3 weeks, he always stays in this room likes the bed very comfy and he does have the dolls for company, and next week my son is down for a week, he likes the other guest room.
My daughter gave me this she has less room in the new house, they move in a few weeks life is getting busy, this is hand made and quite lovely and I can always find envelopes and stamps.
My front verandah got a good clean today.
My outdoor coffee table was covered in leaves and soot
so was my other table
This is for wet umbrellas not got much use lately.
As you can see not much has happened next door
Lots of holes and I think the plumbing has gone in.
I like one of these boy they look like lots of fun

Your windows are just so pretty, Merle! So glad you are seeing a break in those terrible fires! Love your craft/sewing room and your guest room looks so nice and cozy - I would not want to leave. Your tile tables are great and all your pottery, too. You have such a creative and interesting home, I love when you take us around. xo
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so beautiful. Curtains for the windows are nice. Your dolls dresses looks so good. Good work of you.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely to be able to open the windows again!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear the fires are getting under control and hope they are soon safely out.
your house and verandah are looking lovely.
Lovely and evocative open window photo. The writing set is nice.
ReplyDeleteI love your windows!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that the smoke has gone....it must have been awful for people with breathing difficulties.

such a beautiful home you have, I always enjoy seeing the area you live in,
ReplyDeleteYour craft room had me smiling, and those dolls are so cute. I love dolls too, especially cloth dolls. I would love to have a craft room like this, but no room for it in the house. What a unique envelope and stamp holder, and how special that it was hand made. I loved browsing through some of your rooms today. I really liked the room with the green walls. It's so charming.

I have a guest room for the first time ever! After many years of children sharing and not enough room, my grown up children can come and stay without getting covered in 'stuff'! Thanks for sharing glimpses of your home Merle. :)

You have a few treasures Merle, love the stationary box and the windows!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear the smoke is almost gone!
I am in love with the windows in your home! They are stunning! As is your craft room! You have so many wonderful pieces Merle!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful that the fires are at least under control, if not out. Love your home nearly as much as I do your garden.
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell the fresh air. I happy your firefighters are less in danger.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are out of danger. Your home looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteHoly schnikey...if we had windows like these here...I can't even imagine. They're gorgeous! So glad you're safe from the fires and thank you SO much for commenting on my little mens video's:)
ReplyDeleteI do rather like that handmade box from your daughter. Useful and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour windows are so pretty, Merle, and just look at your craft room - how fun! So glad you are safe :) Happy weekend to you. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's certainly good to be able to breathe fresh air again! Can't open all my windows yet...still a bit "nippy" here.
ReplyDeleteYour craft room is lovely and colourful, Merle.
Hope the house next door will be a pretty one for you to see through those gorgeous lead-lights!
Have a great Saturday :-)
love..Trish
Merle..... I love your beautiful windows......and the stationary box is great.... We have been able to open our house for a while, too..... no smoke is so nice...... Mum gets cold so we can't have everything open for long......

Those windows are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the fires are out. We are in fire season in our area and despite the fact that rain was predicted for yesterday, it didn't happen. I honestly can't remember the last time it rained which doesn't bode well for fire seasonl
Unique designs - if you own an older home, chances are all the windows look pretty much alike. You can fight back against this cookie cutter design with unique replacement windows, including bows, bays and picture windows that will make your home look like a showplace. new windows in fort worth
