​I'll be saving my pennies to rescue some precious little mini-ponies and buy them all Icelandic sweaters or those pony pajamas I keep seeing on Pinterest (big cheesy [thankful] grin from me).

My favorite new website find is
Gal Meets Glam.
​This girl has got. it. together, and the photography is just dreamy!

This giant screened barn door is my favorite Pinterest find this week.  It looks easy to build and  has me dreaming about where to build one here at Boscobel.

PROSCIUTTO & MOZZARELLA
​SANDWICH BASICS

Ciabatta roll
Prosciutto
Thinly sliced fresh Mozzerella
Fresh organic Arugula
​Olive oil drizzled on the bread

This is my all-time favorite sandwich, but it isn't making to full blown recipe status yet!  You can throw it together in less than 5 minutes.

One of our favorite neighbors stopped by on Sunday and brought us this amazing little table.  His Dad built it a long time ago.  It stands about 12 inches tall and I am obsessed with it!  It's made of wormy hole chestnut, the same wood I posted about in  our library.

I bought this gorgeous round natural jute rug on Amazon this week.  It adds the perfect amount of texture to the foyer and it will be much easier to keep clean than the traditional low-pile rug in this ultra high traffic area.
​It is a steal for under $45 right now!

My favorite view this week is from the front door.  The weeping cherry is the tree garden dreams are made of.  It blooms for such a short time.
​I wish the world was in bloom every day, always.  Similar bench here.

My #1 favorite thing this week is that my sweet baby, Milo the Farm Cat, is recovering well.   My precious boy was attacked outside by an animal and had to endure emergency surgery three weeks ago.  He is so special to me and to have that kind of emergency here was terrifying.  You can see one side of his face is affected and I'm sure that will never be the same again.  Through it all, he still only wanted to hug and be loved by everyone, the doctors thought it was remarkable.  He is remarkable.
