A visit to my Little Old House...

A visit to my Little Old House reminds me that there is much work that needs to be done in there. Painting the back of my whitewashed display cabinets that Poppa made me years ago when I had my shop comes to mind after looking at these pictures...or maybe they need beadboard (which I just happen to have on hand).

And time for Spring?...

I have caught myself sighing a lot this winter.  I have been trying to make my own sunshine eventho this has been a colder, wetter, unusual Texas winter. I was ready for warmer weather and Saturday's 84 degrees spoiled me. By early Sunday morning we were getting colder and the high was 21 degrees with sleet. When I thought it was all gone, this morning (Monday) we had snow flurries. Pictures are looking out my studio/nest window and pictures of my *Little Old House at Plum Thicket*. I love snow, but afterall, it is March...and time for spring...



My Little Old House

I have a sweet little old house that Poppa built me several years ago from lumber that was salvaged from and old house and barn (circa 1900) that was on this property when we purchased it.  I love my little old house!  He used old windows, an old door and screen, a mantel and a couple of old cabinets and built me a sweet place to store my handmade dolls, fabric, supplies, stuff, junk and a few antiques.  It looks like a doll shop inside and is complete with an antique cash register from England.  I basically use this sweet building for storage but Pinterest has inspired me to reorganize, redo, and redecorate this space for my enjoyment as a more usable space for creating.
