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

Thanksgiving week begins

I am enjoying holiday cooking with my new stove. Decorating and cooking are going forward as I am focusing on Christmas here because Thanksgiving will be celebrated at Daughter Beth's.  Several little dinners and three parties are planned here. This is the day for pumpkin bread and spiced peaches.
 
Under the tree sits Elvis the second, the first great Steiff bear like this, big as a toddler, was lost and it took me nine years to find another like him.  He got his name because he growls when tipped, with a lovely baritone that I interpret as "I wanna be your Teddy bear!"  
 
I wish all of you a happy week.  e
