Lots of Company Through My Back Door

Good Sunday evening and welcome Through My Back Door. I have the glasses out and the tea is ready. I hope you like it with the pineapple nectar, because that is what we're having. I am sorry but I have had all the coffee I needed today. It has been a wonderful day, Through My Back Door and I want to share with you. My friend Libby,Rusty Shed Prims, and her husband came from West Virginia to visit today. Well, she came to pick up a pie safe she bought and the visit was the icing on the cake for me. Guess what. I have no pictures! I know shame on me. She has one she will e-mail me later. We had a wonderful visit and then you guessed it, we went to Clinton to visit my two favorite stores. The Speckled Hen and Corner Antiques. After shopping and finding lots of bargains they headed back to W. Virginia. I hated to see them go, but we are going to see each other again soon.
While at Corner Antiques I ran into my friend Carol and her sister Mary Ann who is visiting from N.C. You all know Carol, you have been to her home several times on field trips.lol
Anyway they had been to Cincinnati To see Paul McCartney and had gone on a shopping spree. They brought me a beautiful red ware candle stick.

I love it. It will look better when the geraniums are put away. I think they were sweet to think of me. We all like the same things. Carol and I have always been kindred spirits and in the last few years have won Mary Ann and Debbie over to our way of decorating.They visited for a while and we had a lot of laughs. There is nothing like friends to make you have a good day. I sold the pie safe, so I moved my dry sink where it was. I was so crowded I wanted to thin out some things. It fits in the space like it was made for it.

I set my new spice cabinet on it because I couldn't find the right place on the wall. Maybe later, but for now this is fine.

Because it is between seasons for me, this is what I have on the table right now.

Linda over at Parkers Paradise will be happy to see I used textile with this.
Last night while reading some blogs I went over to Vicki's, Out My Window, and she had posted a picture of her favorite room at night. She asked that those of us who would, to do the same. I told her I would. Now my favorite part of the day is morning. I love sitting around drinking coffee, reading the paper, reading e-mails, and just being. BUT, my favorite room shot is night. I love the way the livingroom or greatroom looks at night with just very little light.

I am so looking forward to fall decorating. Then just think the next will be Christmas! AHHHHHH!
Well thanks for letting me share my wonderful friends with you and for stopping by for tea. I love it when you come Through My Back Door where life is good.
betty
ps:One more thing. Remember last post when I told you how Shirlee had found Deb Peterson for the pinkeep for me, in her give away. Well the very next day the mail man brought this. I had ordered from Deb

I will add a little pumpkin later. Isn't this neat? She does make the best pinkeeps!
