Some french doors - Part II

Would you like to see more french doors???















It is a pity. None of them wanted to adopt me. Now I could have been living here...

or here

Oh well... I will have to come back. Next post: windows.





Some french doors - Part I

Do you remember that I mentioned I still have more photos from our holidays to share with you? I took them specially for the blog.
Today I will share some of them. In this case: doors from two regions of France, Normandy and Brittany.
For me doors are magic, make me imagine what may be happening inside. How do they live? What are they doing now?
I would have loved if some of the lucky owners of these doors opened them and asked me to come in... but didn't happen! 
During the few days I will be showing you doors (in two posts because there are too many photos) and windows of those two regions.
Enjoy and dream like me!













Aren't they beautiful!

Seeing the photos makes me want to be there again!

Two little creatures with a lot to give

These days two little creatures surprised me at home.

I was working with my cactus, doing a little gardening and on this little piece of wood

A little snail appeared.

can you see it? isn't it wonderful> so little that it was really difficult to photograph. Little but perfect. Black and really really fast.

Also a little cactus decided it was its time to be noticed. And appeared with this.

the next day...

this morning....

and this afternoon... surprise!


 OMG! Such a little cactus has this power inside! A HUGE flower for this little one.
 Good for you!

We don't have to go far from home to find wonderful nature treasures.

The look, the place

Things as people need to find their place. I often move things around until THE place is found. These two paimtings I made found it! And now are waiting for more paimtings to join them!

My first cover

I'm in a techniques testing stage, I guess ... I had a very nice piece of fabric that I bought some time ago to make pillows ... and the idea appeared.
This is the very first time I ever try to cover anything and to be totally honest, I haven't done any research. Just had the idea and the materials... so it has its imperfections.  




These are the materials...



I painted the little chair with latex and then added some details.
