January update and projects

Thursday and I'm planning to find fabric in pink floral roses to make slip-covers for my living room chair and sofa. I expect to find a lovely vintage look at Hobby Lobby, possibly tomorrow. I've always loved the Cottage Look with floral designs and china, but also the English Manor House Look with bold red tapestries and rugs. Since I already possess some of each, I will have to merge these two designs! The last couple of weeks, I knitted 4 hats: 1 for Maureen and 3 others, I suppose, for myself. I love wearing hats even indoors.
I have several pieces of furniture that have been "passed down" to me from Gram and Mom, and they don't actually match, but I don't like everything to match. I'd rather look like a gift shop. My mother frequented her local antique shop and acquired a beautiful set of pink rose china plates, also white plates with gold trim. I have vintage cups and mugs with rose décor. I have Mom's small collection of old silverware and I use the real silver. After keeping it in a closet for years and only getting it out on New Year's Day, I decided I wanted to enjoy it every day!
I have Mom's collection of English tea cups, 2 Russian teacups. The tea always tastes better!
