Granddog Sitting

Hi everyone! I have been granddog sitting for the past week and let me tell you...it has been a chore!  My youngest son is at a church technology conference and asked if we would watch his puppy.  Sadie is a 9 month old Siberian Husky.  I forgot how active 9 month old dogs could be!  Our two labs run our property, but Ms Sadie is not accustomed to wide open spaces and dense woods.  This morning she high tailed it to a neighbor and proceeded to torment their miniature horse named Sugar.  Bless Sugar's heart. She was trying to be neighborly, but from what I was told, Sadie was about to get kicked.  I bet Sadie wouldn't head back that way again!  Anyway, all thoughts of finishing my next blog post went out the door and I have been enjoying playing with this pretty girl for the past week.  I must say that even though she looks quite innocent, she has eaten a pair of tennis shoes, knocked over my pumpkin topiares, torn up a pillow, pulled the buttons off an outdoor cushion and committed several unmentionable acts on the garage floor!  I purchased her an adorable red plaid head band which she promptly tried to eat.  When that effort failed, she attempted to drown it in the creek.  Sadie came back soaking wet with her head band around her neck, looking at me with those gorgeous, blue eyes! So friends, I'll be back next week with my normal blog posting.  Until then, I have a dog to chase!

Blessings from Lynda and Sadie at Still Woods Farmhouse

  1. Awwww...Sadie looks so innocent and sweet! I can identify, I often dogsit my granddog Tulo, a hulking 100+ pound English Cream Retriever. My house is small and he can knock everything off my coffee table with his swooshy tail! But we love him.

    I had a male Siberian Husky when I was in my early twenties, blue eyes just like Sadie. I rescued him at 2 years old. For the life of me I had no idea why anyone would give him up. Very sweet and well behaved...he did have a penchant for running away when we had snow but never went far. Sadly I had to move to another place that wouldn't allow dogs. I was lucky to find a family who loved him at first sight and he had acres to run on. A real blessing. I'll never forget Niki and will treasure the few years I had with him. Enjoy Sadie, she's a beauty! :)

    1. Hi Jane,
      Sadie is adorable, but full of energy! Tulo sounds like a hunk! We had a beautful chow-husky mix dog named Prancer (Santa brought her to the boys) and she was about 120! A friend saw her for the first time through a window and thought she was a calf! We loved that dog dearly and still do even though she has been gone many years. We might need a few of your Siberian Husky tricks you used with your rescue, Niki. Have a great week!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I had planned to share my new front door decor, but alas, like many residents of the MS Gulf Coast, all  loose outside objects have been secured as we await the arrival of Hurricane Isaac. Instead, I thought I would share with you a set of my favorite dinnerware.  I began collecting Memory Lane ironstone many years ago, but my love of the pattern began when I was just a little girl.  My Grandma Mercer had one dinner plate.  I imagine that she picked it up either in a box of laundry soap or as a reward for shopping at the IGA of Chattahoochee, Florida.  I came to love her one plate.  My grandmother would make sure that my food was served on that plate no matter what other dinnerware pattern was set on her table!  When she passed away, I was blessed to receive her dining room set which included a lovely buffet with glass knobs along with the matching table and chairs.  I also received my Memory Lane plate. During my search for more pattern pieces, I found out that Memory Lane is consi

Fun Fall Door Decor

I am ready for the heat of summer to be over and the cool breezes of fall to head our way.  My sister called me the other day and said she wanted to pull out her autumn decorations and to that I say "Amen, Sista"! We both can't wait to say, "Happy Fall Ya'll"!! In the meantime, I need to update my fall door decor and have been looking for a few, fresh ideas.  Better Homes and Gardens had some wonderful fall wreath ideas.  I adore this unusual "wreath" made from a rake. Who said a wreath must be round? Etsy and Pinterest have an abundance of wreath ideas including several swags to use on your harvest door. Another cute idea from Better Homes and Gardens. It makes me think of  warm apple crisp topped with a dollop of whipped cream!   Yum!  Or how about those wonderfully apple scented candles?  Love those! Monograms are all the rage.  I think this would be a simple wreath to make.  Raise your hand if you like simple projects! Super cu

Thanksgiving Dinnerware to Grace Any Table

Southern Living recently published an article entitled "Turkey Plate Special" chronicling the origins of certain patterns.  Who knew that when Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, we would end up with beautiful transferware patterns honoring the official bird of Thanksgiving?  I was excited to see my pattern, "His Majesty" by Johnson Brothers in the article.  We lovingly call these our Traveling Turkey Dishes.  Click  here  to find out why! I set our Reading Room   table with His Majesty for a quick peek at this beautiful pattern.  I love my "Traveling Turkey Dishes".  It is a joy to get them out and use them throughout November.  I also love this old table.  It has the scars of a well lived life and reminds me so much of my sweet grandmother who loved it as much as I do. A close up of His Majesty shows the lovely colors of the season.  I don't own the turkey platter, but it is on my wish list! (Replacements) Anot
