The fireplace just adds to the already warm glow. <br /><br />Once you find your parsnip, you'll get to vacuum up all those little wood logs. I spent much of my morning looking for a faucet handle. Seems to go with the territory!<br /><br />I am excited to see your library with all those little books.

The glowing embers in the fireplace certainly add to that atmospere. <br />When I come home from a show I usually unpack everything and put it all on a large tray which I then keep in the middle of the table for at least a week to enjoy all of my finds. Then I start adding them to my scenes. <br />Good luck with your next project of miniaturizing the book covers. That is so much work, but it does look wonderful when you have full bookcases. I rather like the idea of the books reflecting some of your interests, showing a bit of who you are. But that is rather ambitious as I have found out. <br />I'm going to do some more browsing on your blog. I just spotted a few photos on link within which I think I have not seen before.

It may be a long term project. That makes me laugh as the house has been ongoing since 1991.<br />Janineminwkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487584020742239991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577038531867279085.post-78799366273312729232015-03-28T07:46:48.426-07:002015-03-28T07:46:48.426-07:00Hi Pepper, Yes, I did make the maroon and gold str...Hi Pepper, Yes, I did make the maroon and gold striped pillow. I had a small sample from Bruce's office (architecture/interior design). Before the staff would clear the samples room they would call for me to look at the items they were ready to clear, I would take my pick, keep some, deliver some deconstructed books to la local school for crafts etc.<br />Generally the fabrics were too stiff or out of scale to use in miniatures but I did collect a few gems.<br />Janineminwkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487584020742239991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577038531867279085.post-77743831951941942312015-03-28T07:41:40.956-07:002015-03-28T07:41:40.956-07:00Hi Linda, Have a wonderful time in Bora Bora.
