blast from the past

look what treasures you can find under the bed:Img_2904 i made this "town" for andrew many birthdays ago, i can't for the life of me remember which one. i know it was pre-emily, so more than 7 years ago...maybe his 6th or 7th? it weighs a ton and very stable. it has lego areas to build up lego houses...and an awesome set of wood houses and stores i hand painted (those will have to come in a later post...i need to dig them out). lizzie has fallen in love with cars and it just followed that we would dig this out from under the bed. she quietly lines up cars and runs them along the roads. my idea came from a fabric city my mom made for my brother, used mostly for traveling. i still have his and the one she made for me (to play with horses and farm animals). Img_2897 Img_2896 a vegetarian plug... Img_2893 references to dogs...charlotte is very fast. Img_2890 can't forget the cats...lulu lane. Img_2891 a road to the mountains and a lego mat to build skyscrapers. Img_2901 i went through an all green phase (our house was green, several green rooms...a passion for all things green). i was so impressed with my checkerboard edge, fancy!

  2. Either someone is totally ripping off your style or I saw one of your darling little owls in a shop yesterday. They are even cuter in person!
