Everything is looking so neat and simple. Great idea using the shoe bag for your linen napkins. It's nice to be able to use items that are easily assessable, isn't it?<br />I find I will use them more often when I can get to them.<br />Your cocoa tea pot is just lovely Deborah! Very different from an ordinary tea pot.<br /><br />Have a beautiful day!<br />Joy!

I have two of those shoe holders and now they are being used as yours are. I have a free standing closet that is portable. I use it to hang my table runners and tablecloths on. Now the two shoe holders are added; one on each side. It is the perfect solution. Thank you so much for sharing.

I do love to have sliced almonds on my cereal :) Your cocoa pot is so beautiful and what a nice keepsake from your Grandmother. Your idea of putting the napkins and linens in the clothing rack is great! I am going to steal this idea, if you don't mind! I have been rather embarrassed to admit that we have had the mildest winter I can ever remember here in WA state, but with that comes severe shortages of snowpack in the mountains with drought and raging forest fires come summer. There is a price to pay..... I know you are anxious for this terrible winter to be over. All my loved ones live in New England near Boston.....my heart goes out to everyone suffering through this terrible winter. xo KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-70147881838588240482015-03-04T19:24:39.183-05:002015-03-04T19:24:39.183-05:00Hi Deborah, The roasted nuts sound so good.

We are in the process of painting closets this week being back home and I was just thinking I need to add these for just the same thing. I love to be organized.<br />Love your chocolate pot.

If I had room, I would consider doing the same thing; great idea! Your teacup is a pretty one and your images are simply lovely to look at. Thank you for sharing and joining me for tea today.

We have EXACTLY the same temp here in WV, as I write this comment, and it's supposed to warm into the 50s (but with rain) the next two days. I also got a pick-me-up bouquet at the grocery (yesterday) - daisies, a few tulips & daffs. It was raining, and as I brought them inside, I slipped on the tile floor and fell flat on my rear. At this age, I could've broken something easily but, thankfully, I was ok. A couple flowers got pulverized against the wall as a result, but the rest are still pretty. :) Have a beauty-full week, Deborah.<br />Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-17287578629223997192015-03-02T15:38:05.575-05:002015-03-02T15:38:05.575-05:00My dear Deborah, your cocoa pot is so pretty and t...My dear Deborah, your cocoa pot is so pretty and the fact that it came from your great-great grandmother makes it even more special :)<br /><br />Lovely post, my friend.
