Corners of Our Home



A few of our favorite things.
::The kids have their very own special artwork. The skeleton pieces above were purchased by {D} with his own money. He wanted the one on the right because he said it was a family portrait-lol ::The snow white music box belonged to my grandmother :: Books


::Artwork pulled from an old book. It had beautiful images and a torn cover. Inexpensive and repurposed. ::One of my childhood dolls, much loved by my children. :: The boys mantle. Hand painted dolls of our family with friends. Also {D}'s painting from mama :: A rare sight at our house. Things actually hung where they belong

Corners of my Home

As many of you know, I LOVE Seahorses! As a child I found them so magical, and cute! AS I grew up, it never really went away. Lately I have found myself enthralled with them again.

I made this seahorse a few months ago. Originally I was going to create a security blanket for some lovely child and add it to my shop. I fell too in love with him and he now lives on my couch. His fin moves and something tiny can be placed into his pouch-if needed. And yes, my kids are always trying to think of things that "need" to be placed there-lol.



Here's a side view. I paired it with the bright and cheerful octopus print from the Heather Ross line.
