I’ve always been enthralled with anything miniature. I think it’s amazing that you can make something out of itsy-bitsy items and it’s looks real.
So, as you can imagine…I love doll houses. I could get lost in studying a room like the two pictured above…each little detail.
I love the train displays…not because of the trains, but because of the little villages the track weaves through. I find it fascinating to see the wee towns and the ‘houses’ on the hillside.
After many years, I finally have a fairy village. No, I don’t really believe little people come and visit and night, (although I tell my grandchildren they do! ;)) I spent hours a couple springs ago, repainting my fairy village houses. What fun! Now that’s something I could do for a living! I received so much enjoyment looking up all the options for houses and accessories online. The possibilities are limitless!
I also have a Christmas village that has grown too big for my upright piano top. I originally set it there to keep away from little, exploring fingers. Someone would always lift them up and point out the ice-skaters on the little ‘pond’ made from tin-foil, the children sledding on the ‘hill’.
Tiny to me…is tremendous! Check out my Facebook post for today and you will find another petite puppy to make you smile.
Baby mice, hummingbirds, tiny table settings, white picket fences two inches tall, stone cottages for a tree frog, teacup chihuahuas, bistro for baby…and of course babies in general. These are some of my favorite things! Happy Friday to you!

Once Upon a Time...there was this crazy woman that wanted to share her life with others. THAT'S what my five children would say. In reality I'm persistent, a little OCD, (not diagnosed, again, what my family would tell people), stubborn and probably bossy. I don't really prefer that last moniker, but I do think that MY way is usually the best way! Cuddly, loving and patient, probably not the best adjectives in my description, but God is still working on me! I've been married for thirty-two years. The wrinkled, gray-haired people that need to lose a few pounds are NOT the same people that wed all those years ago. I don't know when they arrived. But they produced five wonderful children. Three daughters are married to equally wonderful young men, our son is waiting for that special girl and our youngest is still at home. She will be the one to care for us in our old age. Having your last baby at forty sets you up for cutting up your child's meat while receiving the senior discount. Our fifth grandchild has arrived and we are looking forward to many more. We have moved many times over the years, giving me lots of opportunities to fix-up, inside and out. But my concrete laying days are over and I'm very excited to be writing books. I now have five books in print with five more in the works. You may keep up with me here, on my Amazon author page or through my Facebook group page and author page. I don't have all the answers, but I promise to be open and real. No candy-coating here! Thank you for reading this far. You receive a gold star! ;)

When granddaughters #2 and #3 were little, they made ‘fairy houses’, and they also
collected ‘treasures’ when they would go on walks ‘down to the bridge’. In fact, they buried the treasures in our yard, and would dig them up every time they were together! The houses they made at the base of a tree, using twigs and bean pods, and the beans from inside the pods were the ‘people’. Memories!!

There’s just something special about playing at the base of a tree!
