Good Night Moon
Time to turn off the computer and see if there's anything to watch on Sunday night TV. See you in the morning. Sleep tight. It always takes me a few days to get used to the new time. So far, I'm not a fan of this early darkness. It makes me sleepy way too early.
Vintage Mother Goose Alphabet To Cut and Paste
Isn't this vintage Mother Goose alphabet wonderful? It's from the early 20th century and I know you'll have fun with it. Click to enlarge the image.
Cut and paste with your scissors or your photo editing software. This would be good for creating an advent calendar for the upcoming Christmas season too. I'm sure you will think of many other handcrafted items to make using it. I scanned this pictorial alphabet from one of my antiquarian books on Historic Alphabets and Initials. Other alphabets available here.

Smiling Lamb to Cheer You
Have a Happy Sunday. Isn't this smiling lamb adorable? I had to get up this morning at a little before 4am because the smoke alarm in the hall started beeping. I was so annoyed but I got up and changed the battery. Luckily I had a big package handy on the kitchen table because I was planning to change all of them today. So much for my extra hour of sleep. :-)

Don't Forget To Set Your Clocks Back Tonight
Optical Illusion Garden Backdrop
The forced perspective in the architectural trellis work on the mansion fools the eye into thinking there is depth on a flat wall. Are there any workmen that can create these masterpieces today? I've always admired this artistic workmanship. The photo was scanned from one of my home landscaping books. Have a great weekend.

Grace Kelly Wasn't A Fan of Hollywood
"I hated Hollywood. It’s a town without pity. Only success counts. I know of no other place in the world where so many people suffer from nervous breakdowns, where there are so many alcoholics, neurotics and so much unhappiness. —Grace Kelly"
White Bedroom with Fireplace :: So Nice
I think I'll bed down here tonight with a big roaring fire. We're having damp chilly weather here at the cottage and this room looks nice and cozy for Webster and me. It would be a nice room to wake up there just tomorrow morning to start the weekend. Have a good one.

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.

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?
