little houses

Little houses at Christmas.

One of my favorite things.
This little house needed to find a place in the cupboard.




This little watercolor I picked up in a shop in Almonte this week.

No name, no date, just a sweet painting of a man and his sheep. I loved it. 

Did you know that I'm never alone in my dining-room? 
There are always eyes on me as I decorate. 
And, I had much help with writing my Christmas cards this year.
 I don't know what I'd do without her.
She's mad at me now, though, because I took her picture. It's something she loathes.

hugs, Deb

  2. You have created a wonderful little world in your cupboard! I love those little houses too, and don't have enough of them. I like your new painting, and the picture of the sheep. Some of my favorite art works were found at a thrift store. There can be a gold mine there. You have taken some truly enchanting photos recently of your family and darling grandchildren. I just love the warmth you always have here.

  8. Your cabinet is surely filled with treasures!

    Ah, Audrey, you have the most expressive eyes of any cat I have ever known. Don't ever change; there'll never be another one like you.

  9. Ahh, Audrey, it's so hard to be beautiful and humble. A diva needs to get used to having her portrait taken. The rest of world needs to bask in your perfection....:) Mary

  11. Little houses draw me in, especially itty bitty little houses.

    I love the watercolor you found ! I began collecting prints and reproductions of sheep paintings, drawings, etc., awhile ago and they are harder to find that I imagined. ( affordable ones )

    You have a gift for decorating, must be all the feline help you get !

  12. You have so many beautiful treasures...Audrey included. I was reading somewhere about cats not having facial expressions. The article's author has obviously never met Audrey.
