June's Scavenger Hunt

June has passed by so fast and it's time again for the Scanvenger Hunt hosted by  Made with Love.  If you haven't checked out this fun blog, I suggest you drop by and maybe you too would like to join in.  

The letter J brings to mind two wonderful events; my wedding in 1975 and  the birth of my daughter in 1979, both of which occurred in the glorious month of June......... 




The Word Rust reminds me of the color orange. And, pumpkin fits right into that category .....  


For a festive drink, a White Russian is very Smooth . I now make it with coconut milk since I do not eat dairy .....


Imagination brings to mind my cat Lilly. I can imagine myself being her and having a life of luxury ....


If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know my eclectic decorating style and nothing is more suited to my taste than this beautiful Classic style furniture. I would fill my whole house with this stuff if I could ......

(I have a smaller version of this set in dark wood)

Speaking of decorating, my daughter has excellent taste in designing any home decor. Here are some knobs that are Similiar in style. She used one set to decorate a chest of drawers for the nursery ...



Our family was in the beautiful city of San Juan, Puerto Rico, a few months ago. I captured this photo of these door entries, all Parallel to each other........



I love to knit, as my hands are never idle if I have a chance to sit down. Here's are my latest Socks . They're called Fork in the Road and the pattern can be found   here  on my Ravelry page .....



My daughter Heidi, loves to collect Coronation china from England. Here's a tiny glimpse of her extensive Mug collection .......  


Our latest travels in Turkey have been pleasant. The other day we walked into a shop and the owner presented each of us with an evil eye bead  charm ..... 


Our family home in Turkey is up on the mountain and overlooks the sea. Here's the Posts from the balcony ..... 



Whatever you do or wherever you are, I wish you peace and good wishes....


Thank you so much for stopping by today and visiting my blog.  It's always a joy to hear from you, too :)

  10. How fun was this. That is quite the table and mirror. The mugs are fun, like having tea with the queen. Your knitting looks most beautiful. How do you get both socks to match? Oh, wait, I'm imagining how I knit. You are obviously much better.
