New Arrivals

What's this? Another painted ceiling? Another PROJECT, you ask?
Shhh! Don't tell anyone... it's a surprise for someone but I'm not telling who! It's just a TINY, Quick, Little Project.... made from one of the smallest and simplest kits I could find! It's the "Sugarplum" kit made by Greenleaf, and it's .....well, ..... Minimal! But it is very cute and goes together quickly.... or it would if I didn't need to PAINT the whole thing! I just can't seem to leave the ceilings alone! I don't know why I bother! Hardly anyone EVER looks UP, and this ceiling is not very tall, so you can barely see it at all, even when you get down on your knees! But I just can't seem to stop myself!

So here is the painted ceiling.... not very Original, but sort of irresistible!

And a slightly closer view.......

I really did not spend very long painting the ceiling...... but the Walls were a different matter! Once the ceiling was decorated, I couldn't just leave the walls PLAIN! So I painted some Vines in a sort of lattice pattern and added red rose blossoms to the openings.....

Well, they look a little more like Roses rather than blobs once I added some black outlines and some leaves....... but I really was NOT taking my time with this...... and even so IT took my time! Several Hours of time and it really doesn't look it..... but it will have to do! I tell myself that it is supposed to look like a Garden with Roses climbing on the Latticework and Cherubs flitting overhead!
This is a view with the ceiling in place..... but the ceiling is SO LOW! Please, don't bump your head! And I think I am going to have to add some border to the top of the wall........ I DID mention that this is a QUICK, LITTLE Project??

But it IS going to be very Cute when it is done..... with a little bit of Garden outside...... and a flowerbox at the window.......

I will need to put hinges on the door.....
I CANNOT stand a door that does NOT open!

Oh, look!

It seems as though some of our friends have gathered here..... shall we go in and see?

It seems that we have not met them before? Oh, Goodness! It is Pollyanna's PARENTS..... Victor and Joanna, and they have come to celebrate the recent engagement!

And what better place to meet than this charming little Tea House in the Garden?

Some of you MAY have been wondering where on EARTH Pollyanna's Parents were? Well, it seems they travel a great deal and mostly live abroad, so it is understandable that this meeting has been LONG overdue!

I suppose there are few moments as unnerving as meeting your future Mother-In-Law!

Joanna has heard a GREAT DEAL about Arthur, of course, so she feels as though she already knows him..... but Arthur is Not so sure he feels the same way at all....!

Victor want's to help Arthur feel welcome to the Family....

because he remembers what it is like...

Arthur can think of only one thing to say......

"Would you like a cookie?" he gallantly asks!

But don't look up.......

I think someone heard the word "cookie"!

"Did you say 'Cookie'?"

"We LOVE Cookies!"

(The Cookies and the Tea Set arrived from Glenda in New Zealand on the Same day as Pollyanna's Parents arrived..... I think it was a match made in Heaven, don't you?)
Just a Little Something.... but THAT'S

What's Up!
