This and That

I'm back!  Company has left and life is back to normal again. 
My flowers are enjoying the sunshine. I am having to do a fair amount of watering though. We haven't had a good rain for weeks!

                The Deutzia looked very pretty for quite a while but now is beginning to fade.

Our very old Queen Elizabeth rose still provides some blooms to bring inside. It's the only rose we have that is not the shrub type.

          Some baking has been done in spite of the warm days... buns and bran muffins.

Of course I have been at the thrift store and found a few lovely things such as this Sadler mug with its cute lid.

And these two 8" plates. I especially like the one on the right which is called, appropriately, Wild Brambles.

This small quilted piece was a dollar . I have such a hard time leaving handmade things behind.
It's Christmassy but that's okay. I'll begin using it next November if not sooner.  I'm not sure if it's a small placemat or a large mug rug. 

Isn't it amazing that we're already more than halfway through June?  The calendar tells me that Friday is the first day of summer but it feels like we've had summer for weeks already.

Thanks for stopping by today,

G.M.
