Beautiful Early American Dollhouse

This is wonderful. I am so glad Nancy Allen's signed dollhouse survived in such good shape. If only those walls could talk. Massive size: 47" high x 5'6" wide. Image found on 1stdibs but was sold. 

   

Mr. Big Ears ~ Two Versions

Isn't this a great photo of a wild hare? I guess they are burrowing in their warrens until spring. I'm not sure what the second long-eared animal will be doing except making us laugh.

Hat available on Etsy.

Wonderful Bookplate for Children


"Infinite Riches in a Little Room"
What a wonderful bookplate; I love images of children reading books. I wonder where The Children's Book Shop and Library is or was located?

Sleeping Here Tonight in My Dreams

I could rest peacefully on a bed of nails tonight and be comfortable I'm so tuckered out. Major tasks accomplished around the cottage and I'm so happy to be able to check so many things off my "to do" list.

This bedroom is fabulous, isn't it? I love it all; the storage underneath and the recessed shelves above instead of a headboard. I love white linens too having just put a white duvet cover on my white down comforter yesterday. The reading lamps are perfect. via

The Reason I Like Fall and Winter

I've always liked the fall and winter landscape too for this very reason.
