Bartender at work

our resident Bartender
has been honing his skills. These
bottles go along with the concoction
you can see from Monday's post.

rows and rows of flowers

these simple knitted
items are humble cloths made of cotton.

but the "hills and valleys" of vibrant
colour remind me of a trip
that the Knitting Companion and i made a few
years ago to the Eastern Townships of Quebec.

It was early in August,
and there were fields and
fields of beautiful flowers.
The rows were bunched together,
according to flower blossom colours.
it was magically beautiful.

At the time, i had a camera that just wasn't
up to the challenge of scenery photos in
late day, fading light. None of my
photos could really capture the
glory of the darkening sky and
the brilliance of the thousands of flowers.

But these humble cotton
pieces, when viewed very close-up,
give the idea of the rows; the bunchy-close
blossoms, and the rich earth.

Enjoy Cocktail Week

i've learned that this is
Cocktail Week.
so i'm sharing with you,
this Hemmingway Dacqueri.
Very very yummy.
not to mention that it's
quite pretty to look at.

loving squares

beautiful quotation

here's to your health

My chum
has been having
a lot of fun with
old fashioned
mixed-drinks.
I thought this concoction
was particularly pretty.
It wasn't my cup of tea,
exactly (or my drink, to be frank)
but it was nice to look at.

live from New York

Recently, my chum
went to New York for the first time.
I had a request for
"something from new york"
and this was my present.
a box of Matches from the
Gramercy Tavern. (he reports that
it was great)

Yes - he was very
good and also brought things from his
visit to the Museum.
