A cherry dining table sounds beautiful 😍

They're such amazing pieces of furniture - so rewarding. You're doing a great job.

Buddy and Poppy ready for their walk. The pillow wasn't originally for them but they're enjoying the extra comfort 😄

This could be a long and rambling thread. Be patient with me.

I bought an old mahogany bureau on Ebay. I didn't really want a bureau as we're meant to be downsizing, but it was a beautiful piece & obviously very old. Google lens suggests the brass chased handles are Queen Anne. That's 1702-1714 😯

Thank you. It makes me love the bureau even more!

How strange 🤔 Like the Glastonbury Thorn (which is twice flowering). You'll have to give these Anemones a special local name - and perhaps religious significance 😄

Continuing the theme of love for things that are looking a bit battered:
this morning an end-of-season worse-for-wear Small Copper butterfly flew across my path & landed on a similarly coppery autumn leaf 🍂 copper & russet shades in perfect partnership.

What more evocative symbol of the season?
