I think you all nailed it with Constance Spry! Now for Mystery Rose #2! I hope it's ok if I put this in the same thread, I couldn't edit the original post so just let me know if you think I need to make a new post. This rose is growing in an interesting situation and because of that I didn't find it until the 2nd early fall after I moved into my house. It absolutely pops in the fall and because of where it is it blooms even in the snow!!! I'm not sure if it was done on purpose or if it's an accident but I'd love not only an id but also opinions on what I should do with him too please! Should I move him to a sunnier spot? Should I keep him where he is and prune back the Japanese Maple a lot more? He's obviously being protected by the maple in the winter and I believe I might've had more blooms maybe even into Jan. if I had protected him from the rabbits. As far as the bloom, it's a very vibrant red with a touch of white towards the middle or on the edge of some of the petals? It's hard to describe but there is at least one tiny stripe of white in there on every bloom. I think it has a chalice shape but I'm going to defer to you, the experts on that! Here he is: The most current shot: A few in fall when I could get closer to him: And winter during a snow storm: During our first big snow last winter I was walking around my gardens taking picture of my last blooms completely covered in a heavy snow and ice when I saw a red, red bloom practically glowing in all of that white. I was totally not expecting this! It was absolutely enchanting. I probably could've gotten better pictures of it in the snow, but it was literally snowing when I took these pictures, plus it was in Dec. and we don't have a lot of light here at that time. Really it's quite breathtaking to see nothing but white in a landscape and this red rose peeking out! Unfortunately the deer or rabbits found it equally attractive because they ate it down to a nub the night after I took those last pictures, But it came right back this spring (see first picture).

How about using it as a chalkboard wall? I like the idea of having the chalkboard framed on the wall so it looks more like a picture than just a whole wall of chaulkboard paint.

I have an Etsy shop, a Shophandmade shop, and a Facebook page linked to my Etsy shop. (Etsy is easier to use, but Shophandmade is free.) But most of my sales are I-spy, baby, and tee-shirt quilts and come by word of mouth. I keep at least one I-spy and several smallish quilts on hand just in case. Also, I have gotten several old quilts that were found left behind by family members to quilt. I do have business cards I hand out whenever possible. Glass is right, no one realizes how much it costs to make a quilt. If you are doing a commission quilt, take them shopping with you so they can get an idea what materials cost. Then keep a detailed account of miscellaneous expenses (thread, rotary cutters, needed rulers or templates, etc) how many hours you spend working on it. Quilting is still my hobby, not my profession so if I make a bit more than enough to cover expenses I'm good.

It goes centered under the fan across from the kitchen, I would HIGHLY recommend replacing the fan with a chandelier much better and will delineate the room. There are fans everywhere so I assume you live in a place you need the airflow, otherwise, I would say replace both of them.
