The Rug Store. Langley WA. On Whidbey Island

I love this store, but too many choices, and very pricey.

 I get better deals on rugs. I'd love to have this store as mine though.

Prices would be less, and I'd sell online, too, and travel to buy rugs, which they do.

I took quick shots, my phone was dying, so no more photos of Langley, sorry.

The have jewelry, beads, rugs, yurt accessories, camel bags, hats, slippers, pillows, robes of many colors..

It just overwhelms me.

Coming soon daffodil fields.

My tulips, the pink and purple ones are in one of my ceramic pieces that I make.

Good night valentines!!

Mararoni's grill tonight. Illy coffee. Umm, good to the last drop

Dinner is served.

Happy hearts day!!!

I love china, I guess it springs from childhood where i had my very own china dishes.

This plate is Luminsov, which is Russian. See how my love for China grew to encompass so much in the way of dishes?

 I have Pillivuyt from France, and have had Noritake. I gave the china to my daughter. I had 12 of everything and 14 of many. But I like the classic gourmet white of Pillivuyt, and the tea sets of Luminsov.

My pattern is Queen Anne, but Plisse here is also very nice and easier to find. 

Sancerre is really nice in that it has a very ample size pasta/soup bowl.

 Here are some nice children's tea sets to get a child started on the road to collecting china.

Michael and I, together 4 ever..

         Snohomish years, The farm on 5 acres where we lived for years but were hardly ever there. Once Mike came home and found me siting in the pasture with May, the new pony sitting in my lap. He couldn't believe it. and we did it all the time, May just curled up in my lap. One day he said she would hurt me she was getting too big and he chased her away, and she never sat in my lap again.

               The Elwha where I made a moss bed to lie on..Favorite Places:::
Elwha, Lake Crescent Lodge, Lake Quinault Lodge, Mt. Baker, Mt.Rainier, so many places, we have been everywhere here 2 dozen times at least. Favorite beaches , mountains.. so many hikes and back pack trips.. he is such a loving and faithful partner. I still feel he's as smitten as first day we met....
