There are many challenges to living on our little island, especially through the winter weather (and then putting up with "tourists" cramming our commuting ferry on their way to the pub through the summer!). But it really does offer that holiday feeling in the views, the beach, the trees. And as you know, living so close to the ocean yourself, the water is always restorative . . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-57993644031832891112012-04-20T20:26:18.459-07:002012-04-20T20:26:18.459-07:00I wasn't sure about buying the bird, because i...I wasn't sure about buying the bird, because it's different from the rest, but I couldn't resist, finally, and I think it works in well.

Now, I find it relatively easy (curtains, cushions, a throw or two), but it lifts my spirits and changes the tone at both pivot-points of the year.<br />The Flying Fish furniture isn't suited well for our house, but like you, I often find accessories I like.

A few expensive cushions make the entire arrangement look high-end. <br /><br />We did our major switch over today--the furnace has been turned off and the swamp cooler is now ready for the heat of summer.
