Harris Tweed Fabrics

 

When we went through our accumulated mail yesterday, I opened a package of the most beautiful fabrics. I received a prize package (along with one I'd ordered from Joan Macleod of Harris Tweed Fabric) on the Isle of Harris in the UK.

I belong to her Harris Tweed Facebook group and won a wool assortment (second image from left) from her. Coincidentally, I had just placed an order for the fabrics on the far left. Both packages were in our delivery basket.

The third image (far right), is the light aqua Harris tweed on top of the beautiful wool I received from my girlfriend, Marrianne in New Zealand. That piece of wool is from Donegal, Ireland. I've been holding that bottom piece since I received it. I wanted to create something wonderful with it and nothing spoke to me (yet). 

I'm in love with all these pieces, and I can't wait to cut into them to create something. For now, I may just sit and admire them. Thank you, Joan for the lovely assortment. I'm very grateful.

Farmhouse Renovation - Master Bedroom...

Farmhouse Furniture

 

Yesterday was busy bringing new furniture to the farmhouse. This is just a sneak peek at the furniture Handsome and I chose. 

As lovely as I think painting all of this a pretty, classic grey might be, I'm not going to. It's a wonderfully, classic bedroom suite that will be comfortable for us, as well as our occasional guests. Once we complete our attic guest space, they can have the third floor to themselves, but for now, our guest room will be also be on the second floor with the master bedrooms.

I can't wait to finish setting it up, but it will be a little while before that's done. I just couldn't wait to share a preview of what's to come. You'll see the whole room soon enough.

  We made it! We're home. We spent the rest of the day unpacking, catching up on our mail and settling back in.   Today, we get back to our regularly scheduled life at our favorite place in Wisconsin... HOME!   Truly, a perfect way to spend the first day of February.
