Welcome to My Red Cape. Long ago in another time my husband Jack and I lived in a little old red house. It was the stuff of dreams to us for the few years that we were there. I live there still a number of hours every day in imagination, with old dolls and paintings and fabrics and feather trees. I draw inspiration and happiness from the memories of that space in time and share some of it here with friends who remember how to step with Alice through the looking glass and take delight in whimsies and antiquities. ~Edyth O’Neill

A pleasant informal gathering to welcome summer

Iced tea and cake served on a screened in porch make a perfect little summer party.  Barbara's house was breezy and cool even with the afternoon in the low 80's. She served delicious light treats and flavored tea.

 
The outdoors seems to be part of every room, light airy and open.
 

 
Beautiful little arrangements everywhere show that this is the home of a talented decorator/collector.
Cool light blues speak to the summer of easy soft slow days.




I am proud to have one of my paintings tucked high in a cupboard.


 
Cheryl has recently painted a portrait of  a dear family pet and it has a prominent place in the house.


Barbara's hand as a gardener is evident all around the house, inside and outside, complete with hummingbirds to entertain us.  Thank you for such a special afternoon!
