Last September


What a beautiful September weekend! I hope yours was the same.
This time I did manage to get out to the garden and do some work. The tomatoes are spent, not worth eating, but they still look so lovely.
Weekends are always busy because I cram so much in: work, house cleaning, laundry, cooking and family. As the overseas trip to the mid-East approaches the excitement of another world takes over. We had dinner with everyone, lots of laughter and last minute ideas.

Last week I had mentioned that I'd be getting my Grandma's old kitchen table and here it is. My uncle remembers it from when he was a kid in the 1930's. Rather difficult to get a good angle on it. I won't be able to put it where it will be until January though. There is so much editing involved...

  1. Good morning Barbara,
    Where are you going in the MiddleEast? Are there a group of folks going? Have a good week, I'm packing things up for my last "on the road" show.
    Best,
    Lynn

  2. That is a beautiful table; love tables with drawers.
    And the tomatoes look good too. You can always hang them inside and they will ripen or you could make green tomato cake.
    Have a great week!

  4. hanging the tomatoes inside is a good idea, Anna, and if you want to pass on the cake recipe, that'd be fantastic.

    the trip to Israel involves some family members; it should be amazing, Ariadne.

    good luck on your last show, Lynn. You deserve a rest after all the work you've been doing.

  5. I found this site from The One of a Kind Show. I can't find your email anywhere
    I want three of the postcard pillows and 4 with the moose on it. I am coming to toronto tomorrow and I want them with feather inserts, where can I pick them up? I can bring cash or a cheque.
