The weather has taken my breath away in more ways than one this morning.
Not just its sharp, cutting air that clears your every bronchial but the mesmerising beauty painted on everything exposed to the elements.
Although the biting cold was feasting on my cheeks, it was lovely to take Liam for a walk before going to the shop. In case you're interested, Liam staid at home with Ben, our old-timer Border Collie/ Retriever cross, now 16 years old.

| A dowery chest |
The day was quite slow to start, possibly due to the weather, but as the sun came out so did the people. We're seeing more tourists around now.
I've been trying to get over selling my most historic and beautiful piece of furniture.
This Austrian dowery chest dates back to the 17th century. Adorned with beautifully painted panels depicting Biblical scenes, it was most likely made and given as a wedding gift . One lucky couple!!!

Before I go, I'd like to thank all of you who are boosting my blogging confidence by visiting and commenting on my blog. I'm learning something new every day and now I'm trying to figure out how to add links of other members or websites to my blog so that I can introduce you to some of my friends. Bear with me, I'll get there.
Off to bed now so wishing you all a very good night.

Love that dowry chest, it is fabulous, how can you bear to part with it?
Where is your shop? We often visit the Cotswolds, in fact are due a trip very soon.

Hi Helen,
You should visit. The frost brings with it the cold but also dry and sunny days, perfect for mooching around our quaint villages and towns.

Hi Julie,
Nice of you to visit and thank you for showing me how to spell 'dowry'. Being a foreigner has it's drawbacks.
