I’m so obsessed with Wicklow/Glen of Imaal terriers. When I’m back living by Wicklow where there are some breeders I like…..I want to find one because not only do they have great temperaments but look at him…..this is just a man.
I want to just name him Glen because that’s who he is this is Glen of Imaal and he’s going to do my taxes.
I dogsat a glen of imaal terrier once and the owners said they spent years on a waiting list and he cost like $5,000. His name was cookie and he was extremely dumb :’)
Everything is so horrible actually :( i keep trying to focus on all the good things in my life but theres so many bad things going on outside that I can’t feel good about the future :( i feel jealous of old people bc they had a whole life of going to bars and concerts and parties and classes and they don’t have to worry about what the world will be like in 30 years :(
Easter egg patterns by Charles W. Saalburg, published in The World, 1902. The directions for dyeing eggs with these patterns were to cut each one out, wrap it carefully around the egg, and then hold a vinegar-soaked cloth around it for five minutes, transferring the ink from the newsprint to the egg. From The World on Sunday (Bulfinch Press, 2005).
Oast houses converted to homes, typically have conical shaped kilns that dried hops.
Jenny & David bought a derelict Oast House, but theirs had square kilns. They had to start from scratch to make it a home, b/c they were, well, kilns. For hops. Not people. But, it’s beautiful.
Their home also has gorgeous antiques, like this old punch clock, which may have been for the oast workers.
They chose a lovely soft turquoise for the living room. The wood horse is a Mongolian pony that came from Afghanistan.
And, the kitchen is a cozy cottage green.
They chose a modern stair style. That’s a fully functional jukebox underneath.
The effort to keep all the original levels of the oast intact, as much as possible, resulted in half a dozen different staircases!
In the bathroom is an antique hop weighing scale.
Connecting the spaces to make the oast a home, has also resulted in many twists and turns.
In this hall is an antique hops press, vintage farm tools, and a showcase of old fashioned children’s games and toys.
Guest room with a cozy sleeping nook.
A door that looks like a closet, opens to reveal a small bath in the guest room.
The bed in the master is suspended from the ceiling, but it’s not very far to fall.
Finally, a spiral staircase leads to an apt. that the couple used to rent out. Isn’t this a fascinating home?
