White House in Spain

Hello, dears! Happy Belated Easter to all of you!

I did not post these last four days because I wasn't feeling quite well after my fall last Thursday. I'm much better now and I'd like to thank you for your warm comments. (I promise I'll wear a helmet next time I get on a skateboard!)

So, back to posting it is and I'm taking you to visit a renovated house located a mere 15 kilometres from Madrid. This dreamy house was decorated by Spanish interior designers Lola and Candy Mediavilla. Mostly white and sand colours, with touches of black which give it a more masculine look.

The Happy Birthday Girl

This is our Weimaraner Tessa! And April 20, 2011 was her 2nd birthday!
"Hi my name is Tessa (or, as my Dad calls me... Pupopotamus)
Wanna Play?"


 

Itty Bitty Baby Tessa at about 7 weeks old 



 
Not quite awake yet, but already loving living in the land of Spoiledom all cozy and warm under her sheep skin blankie.

If she kisses him will he turn into a handsome Prince? 

Her first winter and first time to see snow!

Second winter and has figured out that snow is FUN!

Proving that she learned something from obedience training...

SIT
&
DOWN






Tessa believes she is the most beautiful dog on planet Earth, just look at how she posed for this profile shot, making sure I got her 'good side'.


She shows up in almost every one of my posts (in one way or another),
see her there in the mirrors? I'm going to do a  post about what I have planned for all this stuff on my To-Do list.

But instead, her highness is waiting to be taken on her morning promenade while I follow behind with a Doggie Doo Doggie Done Bag.


And I will be telling myself 'Life is good'... because that's what it says on Tessa's collar!

I fell off my skateboard yesterday afternoon and bumped my head. I had a CAT scan as I had lost my memory for some minutes. Fortunately everything seems to be ok. Feeling a bit sorry for myself with a butt and back ache.
Thought I'd post something cheery.

Cottage in Cape Ferret

A retired couple, wanting to escape the hectic life in Bordeaux, moved to this colonial style house in Cape Ferret, a headland located at the south end of the department of Gironde, in France. The interiors are a mixture of French and New England cottage styles. So relaxing and dreamy.










The painting above the above the console table is by artist Michel Brosseau.

Lovely Monday morning, dears! Had a good weekend I hope.

This is a brand new apartment furnished by a newly wed young couple. Young, fresh, and bright.
Like it?

















See you tomorrow.
