I will be posting my own giveaway sometime after the 'Our World Our Art' event, and also posting that I have been awarded the prestigious Liebster Award from Anna at her Hindustanka blog which requires me to answer LOTS of questions ....AND, I am suppose to choose 7 other bloggers and award them with the prestigious Liebster Award too. So, don't be surprised, if in February, you are awarded an award from me. It is a German award which is for bloggers who have around 200 followers, in a lovely effort to encourage others to keep on blogging.
Without further ado, here are some past years' photos, some of which is a doll I made, or photos in and around our two lovely homes.
Enjoy!

| IN 2008, I TOOK THE BELLA ART DOLL WORKSHOP HOSTED BY THE LOVELY JOANNA PIEROTTI, OF MOSS HILL STUDIOS BLOG. THE DOLL IS FASHIONED FROM CHINTZ MOSAICS, ON A HAND PAINTED WOOD BASE. THE DOLL BODY IS A SPINNING WHEEL SPOOL. THE DOLL HEAD IS A VINTAGE ONE. I CHOSE TO USE FOUND CROCHETED ITEMS TO MAKE HER WINGS AND HER BONNET AND NECK RIBBON. HER FACE IS HAND PAINTED WITH TINY ROSES ON HER FOREHEAD. (THAT PARTICULAR WORKSHOP IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE BUT OTHER WORKSHOPS ARE AVAILABLE FROM MOSS HILL STUDIOS BLOG). |

What interesting photos, so beautiful!
That doll is so lovely! I love when you share your photographs, especially the beautiful house you own. Thanks so much for the sweet comments you leave on my blog! I've truly never felt so spiritually connected to other human beings, and I am developing a better understanding of that connectedness. Such peace at this dark time of year.

Hi Teresa, I am sorry to just be getting back to you, I have been ill with the flu. I read your comment that you might be interested in joining the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group? Your pillow is beautiful. If possible could you email me photo's of more of your Marie inspired art or French inspired art so that the administration could take a look at your work? Please send them to me at terri@sgordon.com. Have a great day. Hugs, Terri
So glad I hopped over to your blog again. What a lovely place this is, have to read up on some previous posts, will go get my coffee..... Thank you for the compliment on mine Teresa ! (Mercury does not have wings on his back, on his helmet and feet yes. Is your painting image with just 1 female figure ? Why not have Rebecca post the image at Trodden, maybe somebody will recognise the origin !)
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog Teresa. Your house is beautiful! And the garden is lovely.
I always wondered about the details of your beautifully haunting art doll.
The eclipse photos are mesmerising. Were these taken at Laurelwood? It's a lovely house.
The Marie Antoinette pillow is really sweet! I hope you make some more.
