Barkley - New employ of the month at BRASWELL

We have a new employee of the month at BRASWELL

His name is Barkley!

We think he is a Bichon mix, however he was a rescue (the best kind) so 

 we can't be sure.

He is dearly loved! 

So adorable, so good, and what a personality!

Here he is getting to know another doggie friend

One of the rainy days in CA, he went for a walk in his new raincoat.

Some of you, dear readers, remember Jackson.
 Jackson was the kitty we had for 18 years.

He is chasing butterflies now!

Jackson, you are missed.

Love to each of you,

 Peggy

Mystery Orchid

 Mystery Orchid!

 

I have had this plant through all my moves now, from Florida, Texas and California! 

 A cutting was given to me by Wallace, my god father over 20 years ago! 

It lives inside with plenty of natural light or outside(warm weather only). 

It is beautiful and the blossom has a lovely smell. I have given cuttings of this plant to others with no problem at all.

The only problem is it blooms once a year and the blossom last only for 24 hours.

A close up of the blossom

 The plant itself is a beautiful green color so it looks great year round.

Thankfully, I have plants on the inside of BRASWELL. 

Isn't it stunning?

 

Do you, dear reader, know the name of this plant?

Please help with the Identity!  

I am totality clueless.

Janet suggested I ask for your help. What a grand idea!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Love, Peggy

Home for Birds

I have been fascinated with bird's nest since my childhood in Florida.
I think they are works of art, to think a bird built that with twigs,cotton, ribbon anything the mama bird can find.

All of the nests I have received are from friends (I sent an e-mail asking for any they may have) and are watched carefully to make sure the mama bird does not want to use it again. They do, you know.

One day birds appeared on one of the skylights at the shop,happily pecking & walking around.
I am surrounded by all things lovely in nature. 

This bird's nest was sent to me by GS who knows I love nests (the egg we painted).

We used bird's nests in our Easter window.

Another shot of the other Easter window with bird's nest.

You can buy these quail eggs by the dozen.

This is a nest cut out of a tree in Texas. Mama Bird put big feathers in the nest
(gold egg is painted). This one is my very favorite.

I love to use cloches over the nest.

This nest was found in Florida with the unborn egg in it! There is also a hummingbird's nest next to the Florida nest.

 Nature has been so gracious to give us all these things.

Another picture with the nest with real quail eggs, painted golden eggs & painted birdie.

I think my calling as a home designer makes me the perfect person to adore nests!

Tell me what you adore, dear readers.
