Even the name says read me now!!
This is my little sitting room in my Bedroom and I just love to sit here and read...it's away from the rest of the house and Len's TV blasting...he says that the only way he can hear it...Don't believe it I can whisper that I am going to spend money and he can hear it ha ha!! And he'll come running looking like a Deer caught in Head Lights....Any way you remember my Carrot Cake sofa right !! of course you do if not read about it here... 
I wanted to show you all the base of my Romantic Coffee table I have in front of my sofa...I just fell in love with this piece when I seen it...Look at those sweet little Cherubs...I ordered this from a mail catalog 3 years ago....
Oh and the little one with the Dolphin...
And the dove...
Got my "Gone with the wind" lamp all ready to read by...Just love me some "ROMANTIC HOMES" Good to go....May all of you have a great day no matter what you are doing...Remember each day is a gift to live and love and be kind to each other...
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

If I were into magazines, tea and Victorian stuff, this would certainly be the first place I'd want to sit.
I love the cherub holding the dolphin. That is just too sweet.
I laughed about Len not being able to hear the tv, but can hear you whisper a thought about shopping. Heeheeheeeeeee
Justine :o )
I enjoy the magazine also. Great place to read there, I think I'll join you girlfriend.
Beautiful!!! You are so lucky to have such a lovely place to retreat to!!! I'd never leave if my room looked like that!! I'm in love with your sofa!!
Gloria your room is just beautiful. I love all the victorian items. The gone with the wind lamp is just beautiful. I love anything that is victorian. Your pictures are great. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.
That's one of my favorite magazines, too. I have saved every issue since it began. Mine came a day ago, and I've already read every word and devoured every picture. Have a great weekend. Sally

Gloria, you are such a romantic, and I love that about you! I died laughing when I read the story of the carrot cake sofa. LOL! You are also a girl after my own heart... I know about those dangerous sidetrips. ;-) And your table base angels are being so sweet to their little animal friends. I'm a major dolphin lover, so that cherub really caught my eye. Thanks for sharing...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Gloria, Oh yes, this is a Romantic room! All the victorian decor is beautiful!
I'm glad you like Gloria! You ask about the baby shoes...those were mine 40 years ago! They will be showing up soon in a post!
I didn't make the cord covers, they came from hobby lobby.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! nancy
Oh Gloria! I loved your sitting area. That tea and sofa with the magazine are just perfect. Makes a person just want to come for a visit. Thanks for sharing. I love the coffee table too. The cherubs faces are so precious. I too, have one with selective hearing. I hate to say this, but I do believe it is a guy thing. Take care. Stop by Country Wings in Phoenix. Love the company. "Country Hugs", Sherry
Gloria, I just discovered your blog through the cloche party. I love cloches and jars etc. I spent most of last evening reading your archives all the way to the beginning. Thank you for such an interesting, fun blog. I love history and antiques. Thank you for all the intersting history on your collections. I am adding you to my favourties list so I can come back and visit more often.

Hey Gloria, I am with you, I just love it when my magazines come in the mail!! It is so exciting!! I used to subscribe to Romantic Homes, and let my subscription run out a few years ago. But, thanks to my sweet friend Barbara I now receive it again.
I just love your sitting area in your room, it is the perfect place to snuggle up & read!! And, your coffee table is just precious!! The cherubs are so sweet.
I just love all of your pretties!!! Nicole
Hi gloria,

Hi Happy! Looks like you could be featured in the magazine you love most! Your angel table is amazing. I have some concrete angels in the yard that I bought years ago. One has a hammer and chisel, the other has a palette and paintbrush. I had intended to get one for each of the four kids, maybe ONE day! Hope your week is filled with good things!
Hi Gloria!
What a wonderful little reading/refuge place you have created! Your table is adorable! I love it when I get one of my favorite magazines and can steal away to a cozy quiet spot to read and dream!
Thanks so much for stopping by...it's always so nice to hear from you!
Have a beautiful day!
;-D Kathleen
