My cozy cottage in the mountains...

This is my table in the kitchen were I like to set and have my coffee and read my magazines on my day off from work.I bought this vintage table cloth awhile ago and then found chair pads to match this past week.It matches my vintage aqua china, I have been collecting for some time now.The french doors you see behind the chair leads into my family room were I do my blogging.

Close up.

This is my rooster Lorpe.He is trip.He watches me paint.Listens to my every word.He can be up top of the mountain across the pond at the hen house and he will come running soon as he hears me say his name.He even talks.

Golden Commet. This is Miss Chickie she is a couple years old now.

This is a Aracana chick she will lay a colored egg instead of brown or white.

Hens ,roosters, and chickies.

Dutchess setting out in the yard with the hens,ducks,and roosters.No she does not bother them at all.She is very protective of them and us whenever something comes in the yard. Hope you enjoy and remember all pics are clickable to enlarge them for better veiwing.Thanks for visiting. Jen

New Bunnies.Ducks playing in pond.New chicken pen

Here are the new bunnies the boys bought Monday.They are adorable.

They escaped today and Dutchess came pawing at the door all excited to tell me they were loose.What a time I had catching them.They jump at the door and the lock unlatches so now I tie it with a bow.

The ducks have really grown.Notice the one upside down in the water with its butt in the air.LOL Searching for food.

This is the new chicken pen we are working on.Its totaly fenced in roof and all so the fox and coons can't kill them this year.We have 42 hens and 4 roosters 25 of the hens are still chicks that we got this year.Dutchess made herself right at home in the hen house.

Phoenix and Spooky sleeping on Dutchess's new beds.I bought for 9.98 at Tractor Suppley and plan on making a cover to make one bed for Dutchess.

Starbucks gift card.YUMMY!!!!Best thing about the card is theres a Starbucks in the resort I work at,so I don't have to go very far to use this.

The pen and pad set is adorable and the other tea time one is the best.It says."Things to do After I Have tea.Here we have ~~~ My Swap things to Miss Vickie.~~~~~

Here are the pics of the swap items I sent to Miss Vickie.I know she loves teapots and all tea related things.Her kitchen has a beautiful teapot chandelier.So I did her box in pale pink with my favorite teapot fabric in pink.I added pink wired ribbon and glitter.I then filled the box with crafts supplies,such as ribbons ,pearls,tags , a piece of tea pot fabric, and different flavored teas, a hershey bar.After that I thought this little salt & pepper tray set in the shape of a tea set would be perfect for Vickie.So I hand painted my roses to each piece.I also did a little heart box with my roses and added lace.A sachet with lavender.

Thanks for looking and please stop back again.Hope you enjoy,Jen
