Reruns.....
You Might recall, Dear Readers, that the Lilac beside the Folly door only blooms briefly in the Springtime. The rest of the Summer it is clad all in green and goes largely unremarked as it stands in quiet leafy abundance beside the tiny patio. The morning sunshine fills this corner early on sunny days and often Will and Gabrielle sit outside for a few minutes at the start of their days.
Their lives are often too busy to linger,
so they try to grab the minutes they can.
They are often in too much of a hurry
to stop and notice the little worlds they rush past...
The dew spangled summer spider webs in the bush....
Or to glance down as they step from the porch....
is that a fairy mushroom circle.....
hiding under the lilac?
Can you see them tucked in under the lilac stems...?
And is that a tiny fairy chair left under the cobwebs....?
Or has the sunlight dazzled our eyes and played tricks....?
But, lo! When a cloud momentarily blocks the sun,
we can still see the tiny mushroom circle and the abandoned chair...!
But Will and Gabrielle have not noticed at all!
And as for the question, Dear Readers,
of where the little TV will find a home,
the answer to me was obvious!
You have not visited Sally May and Chip's house,
The "Shabby Sister House" for quite some time,
but I assure you Time has not stood still.
Sally May did a little shopping a while ago.
She found this charming shelf with storage baskets
which fit perfectly in her still unfinished living room.
And you can see my first "large" stitched
petit-point carpet has found its home here.
Chip's folks, Ernie and Blanche, have been
hanging out here since early in the pandemic...
they are quite at home by now!
And if you look in the back corner of the room,
you will see an old TV set....
well, it is supposed to be a TV set!
(This is the only one of my dollhouses to have a TV set!)
a little bit for better viewing!
Ernie doesn't like to admit how much he likes the old summer reruns!
(Do you even remember Summer Reruns?)
Well, Dear Readers, ready or not,
it is Summertime....
The season of dew spangled spiderwebs,
Fungus fairy circles....
and Re-runs!
The fairy mushroom circle is very difficult to see and I understand why Will and Gabrielle haven't noticed.
ReplyDeleteThe new items in the living room are perfect. A relaxing room to watch tv. The shelf with storage baskets is just beauful.
This entire post is so charming! There are so many fun details in both dollhouses, and then you tell such delightful stories around them!
ReplyDeleteThe lilac bush in summer looks like a cool and relaxing corner. I love all the tiny details, spider web, mushrooms and the little dwarf. Beautiful outdoor photos. It's wonderful to see how some of your latest shopping found a perfect room to be displayed in. As for the carpet, it's Gorgeous!

Oh this is absolutely delightful, with so many special little touches. I really enjoyed it. I love that their is a lovely little garden area out the front of the house in which the residents can sit and watch the world go by, even if they do miss the finer details ;)
ReplyDeleteI remember Summer reruns they were great if you missed something during the regular season. It looks like the TV has found the perfect home.
ReplyDeleteI love the little fairy garden! It's so tiny, no wonder it's gone unnoticed for all this time.
Suuuummertiiiiime... and the livin' is easy... Okay, before a panic stampede starts in blogland I better stop singing. *LOL* Thanks for the beautiful photos of your summer lilac, even more as the remarkable details could be spotted very well. The spiderweb is such an outstanding detail and the little fairy throne with the mushroom ring... well, I bet if we could come back at night it wouldn't be that abondoned anymore and the fairies would dance around singing "In the summertime, when the weather is high you can stretch right up and touch the sky" Okay, no more singing... But I know well why Will and Gabrielle don't notice anything of these little wonders hiding in the lilac... no doubt they need to use the little free time they have for enjoying each other's company.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of company - I fear poor Sally May will have to get along even longer with her parents-in-law now that the stunning new tv found its place in her living room. ;O) And the carpet looks wonderful there.

I can never get enough of seeing the lilac shrub in any season! It is so much fun to pick out the details of the micro world that calls it home, as well. Though Will and Gabrielle might not notice on work mornings, it will be a reward to see it all the next time they're out pulling weeds.
ReplyDeleteThe Shabby Sister House has such lovely colors in the living room, and the carpet is gorgeous there!!! And if that wasn't enough to draw a crowd, with so many show choices and such a wonderful picture, every seat will be filled with viewers on a regular basis!
I do remember summer reruns, but I do like things so much better now "On Demand". Not having to be spoon fed an episode week by week allows me to get lost in the story and appreciate the writing all the more.
Desde luego un precioso rincón que resulta aún mejor iluminado con los rayos del sol.
ReplyDeleteLa alfombra luce muy bien en ese salón.
Hi Betsy, the summer may not give the lilacs mor spectacular looks like spring and autumn, but the spider web and the mushrooms are such lovely details. they add a nother layer of realism and character! I love it.
