Hello!
Just to let you know that I'm taking a weeny blog break this week as we are officially Jollying.
Can you guess from my souvenirs where I spent the day yesterday???
It was a mighty fine jolly indeed, short and sweet, but mighty fine.
We'll be in our own beds tonight, but heading off again tomorrow, hosteling for a few days in the Lake District.
See you Monday, have a wonderful week whatever you get up to

I have only recently discovered blogs, and yours is lovely, lovely! I do love the absolutely endearing way in which you write about your art, your children, your home, your life. You give the world a peek into a very precious world. Thank you so much!
These little houses remind me that when I first stumbled upon your blog, you had a fantastic banner with fabric houses that you had created yourself. But your little house-banner has disappeared! Oh, where did it go? And will it ever come back again? I loved those little houses!! from Kari on the other side of the world from you in Texas.

I don't know what a Jolly day is, but I gues you'll have fun with it!
And the houses looks like the houses from my country, Holland. Amsterdam I guess?

Look forward to your jolly post. I vividly remember a childhood camping holiday (35 yrs ago now) around Windermere and Grasmere.

The first thing that came to my mind was Belgium.....Brugge to be exact. If that's where you are going oh it'll be so nice. It's such a pretty place. Wherever you r going, have fun!! :)

I am an American and I'm not quite sure what "jollying" is, but I'm very sure it applies to how I spend my best days. So, if I may, Lucie, I will borrow it and enjoy those days even a little more! You teach me much!!!

"Jollying" - sounds delightful but what does it mean? A holiday? English sounds lovlier coming from the UK. I think I need to do a little "jollying."

Must be BELGIUM ! ; ) Next time drop me a line and we will meet up

And thanks again for teaching me to crochet-- I just turned my granny square baby blanket into a "big boy" blanket :-)
Cheers!!

Hey, these houses look familiar to me, since I live in Amsterdam...but I think you mean Brussels, right?
And enjou the beautiful Lake District, I just love that place...(my ex-husband is English, don´t know if you remember that)
