I have been busy doing homefun today, so now the house is clean and tidy, and any visitors are welcome :-) Well, I know a few of you have a long way to come here, so I have taken a few photos for you to enjoy.
This first photo shows the sofa section of our livingroom. I changes the decorations today from a light summer style to more fall colours. The pillows are from my trip to Laos last year, and so is one of the chess games - which can be better seen on the second photo. The other chess on the table was bought it Venice / Murano in September, the game near the hearth was bought in Budapest a few years ago. I love chess games and always look for new ones when I travel.
Chess games are not the only things I buy from travels though. Over the years my collection has grown and I display many of my travel memories in this part of the living room.
After finishing cleaning today I sat down enjoying my tidy house. The sun was shining outdoors, though it was cold and smelling like winter, and the squirrels and birds were busy at the feeder in the huge pines outside the windows.
After lunch I had some coffee and a small piece of cake, and spent some time reading about one of my favorite female travellers, Margaret Fountaine.
Well, my house in the woods is big enough for friends. Why don't you come over? We can chat, listen to music, read, knit, or may be enjoy my orchids.
