You can send me a blog link when you are set up.<BR/><BR/>Dons, you would have such fun with all the junk we still have here..Mr Swan I picked up froma Newcastle junk shop, (14 years ago) he has a hollow box between his wings and was part of a pile of old theatre props. I just had to have him, but he has gotten very battered over the years and needs some repair. The jars usualy hold dried fruit, seeds and nuts, but I need to do some squirrel shopping and get some more. And Clover gets sat on a lot, as she is usually on the sofa and she does blend in so well...but she is very soft! <BR/><BR/>Penny, I think Rimas house is wooden, I will check with her. I would volunteer to do your house, but I am only just recovered from doing ours...as Joanna says, it is VERY cathartic.<BR/><BR/>Rosa, I would love to sit chatting round a fire with you, we would get through so many pots of tea! It IS a relief to finally get my work printed, after ten years of trying I thought it would never happen! <BR/><BR/>hugs to you all,<BR/><BR/>G :)Gretelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399585879728373265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1159237561697099512006-09-26T03:26:00.000+01:002006-09-26T03:26:00.000+01:00Your prints look devine.

Your cottage looks absolutely transformed. How lovely. I could sit for hours chatting with you by a warm fire, cup of tea and strumming through your artwork. It all looks so deliciously comfy. Cheers. I too feel better this day. I knew it would all pass at some point, us being a tad scattered, that is. And one more, Cheers!
