Tuesday already? I can't believe it has been a week since I last posted. The week included a run to the River House to deliver a piece of furniture and some odds and ends.
I enjoyed a cup of morning coffee while sitting on the porch. The cup is part of my new collection of thrifted colorful dishes. I like the sunny yellow.
There are many trees and bushes on the property and we don't know what some of them are. I discovered this one blossoming. I showed the picture to a friend who said it may be Durante. Anyone know for sure?
This old oak secretary was the main thing on the truck this run. It is a piece I've had for years. It was handed down to me through my family. You can see the shelves aren't in yet, still piled there at the bottom behind the glass door. A few antique pictures came along as well, safely packed in cardboard (that's one at the left). Furniture for the house is coming together slowly but surely.
Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday. Don't forget to visit Elizabeth who hosts our party every week. I enjoy the group that gathers and try never to miss a Tuesday post.
Not sure what your flowers are, but they sure are pretty. I love your antique oak piece. Visiting from T is for Tuesday
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the flowers are either, but they look good. Love the new cup, too, and that cabinet is great. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOH that oak secretary is priceless and so beautiful Darla!
ReplyDeleteI looked up Durante and it sure fits the description.
It's a gorgeous bloom... lucky you getting to sit out and enjoy your new paradise.
Happy T Day oxo
how wonderful to be sitting outdoors with a cuppa this time of year. Your secretary desk is gorgeous! Can't help identify that bloom but it is pretty. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely addition your sunny yellow cup is to your collection of thrifted colorful dishes! The oak secretary is amazing, such a lovely piece. Wishing you a Happy T Day! J :-)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen that flower but it is pretty! I love following along as you put this house together.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're getting the River House furnished and beloved pieces there to grace the rooms. Happy Birthday on T Day, too. Hope the day is special and bright for you.
ReplyDeleteLove that sunny yellow cup. I think I have one like it. And what a cute piece of furniture. Can't wait to see your finished furnished house. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming secretary. I LOVE the old antique pieces of furniture, always so well made.
ReplyDeleteYour yellow cup is so cheerful looking sitting in the sun shine.
I haven't posted in a couple of months. I just don't feel right to post and then not have time to return the visits. :( The GDs will be coming through the door at any minute and the whirl wind day will begin.....LOL
Have a great week......loving seeing your photos when I have a chance to get on line.
I'm glad you're getting the furniture situated to suit you. The secretary reminds me of Mother's, which my oldest child now has. Sweet. It's going to be wonderful fun identifying all the plants! And a bit challenging, too, it seems. But it sounds like you'll have help with that if you want it. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI love thrifting, and what a gorgeous antique piece of furniture this is!! the sunny mug is perfect for a morning cup...happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThat old secretary would fit perfectly in my home. It is gorgeous and it looks like the top drawer is serpentine, too.
ReplyDeleteIf it isn't a rose or a day lily, I can't help. I hope Patty's research confirmed what your friend thought, because your view from your porch is wonderful. That lovely yellow mug is the perfect addition for early morning sunshine.
Thanks for sharing your antique and your lovely yellow mug with us for T this Tuesday.
Beautiful flowers and your secretary is precious !
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day Darla!
Not sure of the flower name either, but it looks beautiful, you have a lovely view from your porch.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday.
Yvonne
Lovely flower no matter what the name and the secretary is beautiful ♥ Happy T Day!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely color of Duranta erecta or Golden Dewdrop, for the little pods it gets after the flowers are gone. I have one, although not as deep in coloring as yours, butterflies love it.
ReplyDeleteYour oak secretary is wonderful!
Have a great day ~ FlowerLady
We have that little purple flower on a hardy shrub in our garden. We call it Geisha, but I don't know its botanical name. I love your sunny yellow cup, and your new collection must be looking very cheerful now.
ReplyDeletethe blossoms are really awesome, and so is the secretary.
ReplyDeletehappy week to you!
I love those old secretaries. My cousin ended up with the family one and I admire it every time I go there. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy T day....a day late!
What a priceless piece of furniture to treasure and hand down in the family!
ReplyDeleteLove the cheery yellow cup! :)
