A card for me. by happypat

A card for me.

I picked up this card on my recent trip to Ireland so it is sitting among the china on the dresser.

Completely stumped for ideas today.
I have had such a busy week with all the celebrations & it was sod's law I have been full up with B&b this week too.
Ironing every night & chatting to guests has worn me out & I have had hardly anytime to sit in my new chair!

Three good things.
1. Nobody in tonight so a nice evening in front of the TV watching Strictly Come Dancing.
2. The major electric problem we had when all the sockets kept fusing seems to be solved.
3. I went to pick the bread order up at the bakery just before they closed & bread was half price!
Love your blue and white stripe-ware. And that you got a card for yourself!

A lovely composition. It looks very homely. Your guests will appreciate the hard work you do.

Lovely Cornishware, Pat.

Ps - fresh, half price bread has an appeal all of its own.

A lovely setting Pat, and it sounds like you are in for a nice night.

@fannyb Yes it is exhausting but I think it is the chat that tires me out as you are inevitably standing up as they tell you all their doings & I get to feeling light headed sometimes! The more often they come the more they talk which is lovely, there is something to be said for the ones with work to go to!!! Still at the breakfast table at eleven o'clock this morning!!!

@bpaquette I have lots of this blue & white & I love it Barbara.

@jtookey150 Yes the guests are very appreciative & do write some lovely things in the book, it's me that's wrong & can't keep pace !!!!

AHa.......me too!!!!! At least we both had a good day with the bread!! Too busy here, too little time to find a decent photo idea....... ;-)

Very nice composition including your nice card among your china.

Lovely composition. Wishing you chair time. I couldn't do your job

I used to like the breakfast time with B&Bs but would get them to shift eventually by saying" well, I mustn't hold you up from your travels" and they would obediently get to their feet! My hubby used to listen while I worked in the kitchen! You know the three good things, is definitely Pollyanna stuff and I agree with it!

Love the blues. And lovely to have a special card.

Beautiful capture! Lovely composition. Really nice postcard!
I like your "3 good things", might start using that too.

@happypat Apricot sounds very good. My mother makes jam occasionally (as a kid she used to make such jams as damson, blackberry and also marmalade) and she just gave me a jar of greengage and hazelnut which is a new one for me. I haven't tried it yet.

@maggiemae Ah a good phrase Maggiemae, I must remember those exact words!!!!! Thank you for the tip!

@jgpittenger I love it really Jane but not as good as I used to be, I burn the bacon now & again now ...not as good a multitasker as I used to be!!

What a gorgeous shot. I love the blue and white ware. I think your a marvel to do all you do.
September 16th, 2012  
@sabresun Sounds delicious Matt & I think all these old skills are coming back. I like the sound of the different mix of fruit & nuts.

Love this little vignette in blue and white surrounding your "Patricia" card! I hope you have an extended period of time with no guests booked, Pat. It sounds like you could use a bit of recovery time. Take care of your sweet self!

Lovely!

i like the colours here pat and the light works well for you

Judging by the number of comments here, I'd say your simple idea for a photo paid off. It's quite appealing and striking. I don't know how you manage to fit 365 in with a B&B business!
September 17th, 2012  
hah..glad you had at least three blessings!
September 27th, 2012  
I like this shot!
