Ignoring the heat

The oatmeal crispies never did get "crisp". They came out of the oven rather soft, and should have firmed up as they cooled off. No such luck; it's so warm and humid in here even the cookies can't hack it. And that was at seven a.m.

While I plan to run away to nice, cool places when it gets really hot this afternoon, I'm spending the morning doing a little housework and looking for the happy things to take my mind off the heat.

Fresh linens on the bed, with pretty vintage cutwork pillowcases.

Funky trim added to a purchased lampshade.

A diminutive crystal vase, waiting for fresh flowers.

Lightly scented drawer liners for the delicates.
