Friends are coming for the weekend.




Rain is predicted.


I was getting the survival basket ready for the guesthouse...it hadn't been on the bench for two seconds, when Pasha claimed it. 
He is supposed to be an "outside" cat.  He pounces on every opportunity to be with "his people".  





The old bread dough trough holds old and new magazines.





Clouds are gathering for more rain.
Our guests might want to spend a little time relaxing and reading. 






Books can keep us company.






No matter how many times I have read them, there is always something new to discover. 





I try to have books which might appeal to everyone.






You have probably read all of them.





This is one of my favorite short reads. 





There is no end to the variety.





Some old books  are always full of "new ideas". 






A book here and there for the child in us. 





A book of Poetry by the bedside is a must. 






Dreaming of far-away-places is part of a visit.  





This book will keep you entertained for days. 






Are you sure you know Shakespeare?






And, there should be fresh flowers.  

Have a great weekend my dear friends, 

Gina

Our Guest cottage


What was not allowed into the house went across the courtyard...to our Guest Cottage




Old and new, repaired or left as is



From the Thrift Store,  a King Louis the XVI bed or is it King Louis the XIV?



Guests must have a full length mirror, we dress for cocktails



Flowers, Stripes, Plaids, just the way I like them



Gene built and carved this fine bench



And Gene carved this fine  table



There should be lots of books




It's nice if there is a small kitchen so guests can fix their morning coffee (and the host can sleep in)



You can hide things from your guests, such as the refridgerator behind curtains



A bathroom is a swell idea



It's all right to practice new color combinations on walls
Guest may not want to stay too long



And always Do remember the flowers
