SIMPLE LITTLE HOUSES.
I wanted to talk about them tonight.
I am a fool for them.
I mean, I LOVE them to the moon and back.
I dream about them at night.
So here's one simple house project I have made with my own two hands,
and
three houses which I purchased.
I've
shown this pincushion so often on this blog, I should probably be
ashamed to do it again. And, yet, here it is. It's three inches
square. At least three people close to me have requested to receive it
when I die. In order to manage that...A. I have to die and B. That's
not happening yet, I hope. So, C. Guess I'll have to make a couple more reasonable facsimiles.
Then, recently, I found this little hand-painted one. It is two inches square and just adorable!
The one on the right is about one of the tiniest prints I have ever seen. It's adorable too.
The print is mounted on wood and has a tag on the back which says New View Gifts and Accessories.
Here, the one on the left is painted on a surface I can't identify and signed by a name I can't read.
I also got it at the flea market.
It is one and a half inches by four and a half inches.
The landscape painting is an oil....signed A.M. and labeled Agnes M. Meyers Gift Shop,
San Antonio, Texas.
I also bought it at the flea market quite a few years ago. I knew it was Texas the very second I laid eyes on it, because I am from Texas and I've seen many fields of Bluebonnets...
as they say - "back in the day."
This little painting is four by six inches.
And, dear.
By the way, I know these two paintings are not of Simple Little Houses,
but because they are also SMALL I chose to show them also.

A close-up of the tree.
The Bluebonnets.
The two tiny prints are so sweet.
I couldn't resist them.
Simple Little Houses.
And there you have them.
four of my favorites
plus a tree and a Texas Landscape.

Precious little houses! I've always loved "cottages". I always said, even in my teens and 20's, that I wanted to live in a cozy little house, not a big house, and for the most part, I have. Something about a sweet little cottage, beckoning you inside. As I see these, it makes me want to take off to the beach and find a cute little white cottage to go nest in for awhile!
Though I live in a tiny little house, it is not so pretty as these, nor is the setting so peaceful. Glad to have a look at your sweet ones.
A number of years ago when I moved out to the boondocks, my Mom gave me a little picture she found of a cabin in the woods. I admire it so often I am surprised my eyes have not worn it out!! I was also gifted a couple of original oils of cabins in the bluebonnets. They are so special to me!! I am thankful that you too like little houses and trees!
Blessings to you,
J
