Room Shots March 2012


Salix Blossoms that look like caterpillars.



So Fuzzy!!


 Antique chalkware Babes head.

Residing at the bottom of a hurricane. Poppy dishes and my Ironside's painting. It reminds me of the painting described in C.S. Lewis The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. A Gift to cousin Eustace's parents hangs in the guest room Edmund and Lucy Pevensie are staying in and is their portal to Narnia.
