The King's Speech

Oh MY GOSH!

If you love period pieces... If you love history... If you love anything to do with the Royals...

YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!

My hubs took me on Sunday and we both thoroughly enjoyed it! The only thing that I would caution you on is the language. Don't take the little ones. But it is used in such a creative way that you really can excuse it.

"After the death of his father King George V and the scandalous abdication of King Edward VIII, Bertie who has suffered from a debilitating speech impediment all his life, is suddenly crowned King George VI of England. With his country on the brink of war and in desperate need of a leader, his wife more », Elizabeth, the future Queen Mother, arranges for her husband to see an eccentric speech therapist, Lionel Logue. After a rough start, the two delve into an unorthodox course of treatment and eventually form an unbreakable bond. With the support of Logue, his family, his government and Winston Churchill, the King will overcome his stammer and deliver a radio-address that inspires his people and unites them in battle."

Go! See! Enjoy!

Waverly's Primrose Paisley Antique

What do you guys think? This is our "new" comforter set. I picked it up at a consignment shop and I got a pretty good deal on it. I got the comforter, dust ruffle, 2 shams, 2 euro shams, 4 decorator pillows, 4 valances, and 2 sets of panels for drapes.

This is the manufacturer's image, but our walls are already this color and our furniture is light oak. I'll be putting it all together this weekend and of course, I'll have pictures for you all.

Enjoy your weekend!

The English Rose Tea Room and English Rose Accents

Well! It was another successful Fresh-cut Friday. Thanks to everyone that joined in. Our next party will be the 4th of Feb. I hope you will plan on jumping in.

These are some more pictures from a little shop called English Rose Accents. This is a sweet, little, gift shop right next to The English Rose Tea Room. SO many pretties.

I'm joining in for White Wednesday at Faded Charm. Make sure you go by and see all the shabby pretties!

Enjoy!

Welcome To Fresh-Cut Friday #5

I'm so glad your here.

Today I am sharing one dozen roses.

These are my favorite Roses and they are called Esperance.
They are a floral exclusive.

So when ever I see them I just have to pick them up.

The Esperance

Aren't they beautiful?

Now it's your turn! Let's see your flowers!

English Rose Tea Room

Well... Yesterday was my last day of vacation... Sweet Daughter will be going back to law school and all fun will end. waaaaaa

We both decided that one thing was really important to do
before she left, and that was to do tea! We try to do it at least once a year.
So we headed out to The English Rose Tea Room.

If you click on the sign... it will take you right to their web page. You can find a full menu and directions.

Some wonderful picture taking opportunities.

We got there early so it was the perfect time to take some shots.... Plus it was freezing in Carefree. So you won't see anyone sitting out side.
But if your here on a normally, beautiful, warm day and sit on the patio, you won't feel put out. It's just as pretty on the outside as it is on the inside.
A tweet centerpiece!

A well decorated chandy.... Let's head inside.

Of course, what is tea without the Queen? Here she is to greet us.

You get your choice of 2 teas. And they serve my favorite Harney and Sons.
Specifically ... Paris...It is a fruity black tea with vanilla and caramel flavors, and a hint of lemony Bergamot.

We're browsing... We're browsing...

Another well appointed chandy!

Oh! We better sit down... Tea is served!

La-lishous tea fare.

"Mom! Maaaaaam! MOM! Can we stop with the pictures now? "

Okay.... I did put the camera down... and we did have a lovely time!

It is a drive... But soooooo very worth it!
You really do feel like you have escaped the big city.
The English Rose Tea Room.... Charming to it's very core!

I am joining Kara at Elements Interiors for Whassup Wednesday.



Make sure you
go check out all the fun going on over there. Thanks Kara!

P.S. Don't forget about Friday... It's Fresh-cut Friday!
