Little Blue Cottage
I covet a lot. Mostly my friend Tina of Little Blue Cottage. She is one of those fabulous people who can do anything. Cook, Bake, mother, and quilt. And I covet that she has somehow figured out how to jam 29 hours into one day. It's kinda freaky. But this is where that kind of talent (aka, magic) goes to: this fabulous quilt not only catches my eye because it has 3 of my fave-o-rite colors all playing together nicely, it reminds me that someday I want to rub elbows with Tina harder, so maybe some of her magic will pole-vault over to me (not likely), and then I'll be able to make beautiful quilts in under 29 hours. Thanks for sharing, Tina!
Cheers
Ahhhh, London! What a fabulous place! I've been twice--once for a long weekend (no, I'm not rich, it was a killer deal on Virgin Atlantic!) with my husband (then-fiance), and once as part of my husband's and my honeymoon. So there's romance as well as nostalgia in it for me.
I have a love of the UK that maybe I should be called a Britophile (a la France's "Francophiles"). Such a small place that has played an enormous part of the world's history--and an enormous part of American history. Beautiful country sides, amazing metro areas, castles, kings and queens whose influence has reached much farther and longer than just their reigning years! If you ever get a chance to travel, go to the UK! People are amazing, the stories are amazing, the architecture and landscapes are amazing....Did I mention it was amazing?
Below is a link to a cool bit of art by redletterwords on etsy.com. Simple, graphic, bold and cool--just looking at it sends a rush of memories of many rides on the Tube (the underground railway). Browse through her site further and you'll find this:

Which of course is just in time for Valentine's day (also comes in pink)! Take a virtual gander in her shop--she has a variety of themes available for you. Maybe you'll find a little romance...
