My Rainy Days and Mondays blog has been my least active site, especially since it has been blocked on Facebook for some unknown reason. It still annoys me, as I have received no response as to why…or how to be reinstated! I have Twitter, still, and I post my website on FB, so those who choose can find my blog there. Sigh.
Meanwhile, I continue my quest for coziness, which I like to call Rainy Day Hygge.
Since my last post, I have added the newest Madeline Hatter doll, which I sought for more than two years…and I am loving my Coca Cola replacement dining room set. Two chairs only, but the apartment is small, so it works.

I am adding more books and soft dolls to my favorite bookshelf, one that I bought a few months ago, and which needs more STUFF.
And I have added the newest soft doll, Madeline, to my entry way table:

I have found some great new books to read, and my current one is another from Nicci French. I love those authors! What To Do When Someone Dies.

I have also enjoyed watching old movies from the 60s and 70s: The Way We Were, with Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford; and Barefoot in the Park, with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. I can’t seem to get enough of Robert Redford! LOL
What do you like to do when the blues threaten to descend? What books (or movies) call to you?

Oh I love the Madeline doll! So sweet! Nicci French is an author I really want to read more from. I really enjoyed the one book I did read. I like your quest for coziness. I have a similar one.

Thanks, Katherine, it has become almost an obsession, adding coziness to my space, which sometimes means searching to replace old favorite items that I have lost. I feel good about finally finding my Madeline doll again.
I really love the Nicci French books!

Thanks, Kathryn, and yes, I like the feeling of being surrounded by favorite things. At least my collections now are smaller, lol. You should have seen the condo where I lived for twelve years!

You have so many adorable things that I like. Is that a padded house?
I have the movie Barefoot in the Park on DVD. I haven’t watched it in ages. I need to.
When the blues threaten to descend I take to my sewing machine or find a good book or magazine to immerse myself in. 🙂

Thanks, Laurie, that little cottage is a Mary Engelbreit padded house. My eldest son calls it “Squishy House.” I’ve had it for several years.
I don’t sew, but I love books and magazines…enjoy your week!

I LOVE Mary Engelbreit! I have some stationery of hers, but I’ve never seen that little padded house.
