A Day At Harmonie House

Hello my dears. It's been almost a week since my last post. It is still raining...non-stop it seems.
Oh well, at least it makes for lovely nights of cozy sleep.

I was wondering what topic I would write about this evening. I decided to share with you a typical day at Harmonie House...through images and comments. Sit back, have a cup of tea, and enjoy your visit to my 1918 haven....my very own portal in time.

A day at Harmonie House usually begins with a sigh.
"It's time to get up already?"


After I've gotten myself all dressed and ready for my day,
I head down the stairs with this lovely window in view.


At the bottom of the stairs the living room beckons me to sit and relax. However, I have no time for that since I must have breakfast and head out to the shop.


So I enter the kitchen...


First thing I do is fill the kettle with water for my tea.
Breakfast preparation follows.

I have a bite to eat, feed Mr. Knightley, and almost reluctantly leave Harmonie House for a day of work. Mind you, my job isn't so bad. Working with music and making my own hours isn't a bad deal. However, by the end of the day I cannot wait to go home. Actually, by mid morning I cannot wait to return home. *smiles*

After work, upon entering my Shangri-La, I greet my Mr. Knightley who is all purrs and love. I once again fill the kettle for tea and get myself ready to relax before dinner.

I go by the music cabinet and select a CD to play.
Usually it's a compilation of early music from the 1900's through the 1930's.


With cup of tea in hand, I enter the library/music room and sit myself in my favorite wing chair. At this time I select a book or a Better Homes & Garden magazine from the early 1900's. This moment is always nice.

I sit, relax, read, and enjoy my tea for about an hour or so. Mr. Knightley usually keeps me company while I wile away the time till dinner.

Dinner is had in this warm, inviting dining room.


Afterwards, I might sit in the cozy nook area
and work on an unfinished crochet project, or read.


I may have several phone calls during the evening.

I'll tidy up the kitchen, catch up on some writing, laundry, or whatever needs doing. Then it's time to call it a day....or would that be night? No matter. I'm usually tired enough that I look forward to my comfy and cozy retreat...right back where I started. So it's off to the land of nod, hopefully filled with beautiful dreams.

Time to turn out the lights in this corner of the library.

There you have it my dears. A typical day in my life. Granted, there are many days when the house is filled with the sounds of company. Laughter, music, dancing, and many a vintage gathering takes place within these walls. I shall share those moments with you as well...at a later date. In the meantime, I wish you all a lovely night filled with all that is wonderful, happy, and blessed.
Hugs galore to you!

Nite Nite!
