Does your house have a name. Meet "Monkey Grass Hill."

I love homes with fun names.

"Making a house a comfortable home" by giving it a name makes perfect sense.

If your home had a name, what would it be?

Please share.

happy down under

If you have not seen the new happy home shop for Anna Spiro, hop on down under to see the new shop which has had a fresh lift. Yep, absolutely beautiful and happiness radiates round and round! Congrats to Anna. Wishing you tons of cheer with your shop and your family too.

I am thinking that it is a good thing that I do not live nearby, the sales people and I would be on a first name basis. They would say, "here she comes again!" I could sit and sketch all day long.

Tell me, what is your most favorite beautiful thing from her shop? Make sure you check out Anna's desk! It just may make you want to twirl.

One of the best things about blogging is getting to know someone that you have never met. Spending countless hours reading blog posts and sending e-mails back and forth in the wee hours, one cannot help but feeling the connection to a coterie of blog friends. I could just dedicate a blog (or an illustration) to each one of you.

You probably know which blogger this house brings to mind? Certain things remind me of each of you. Yep, I had to send this image to Cote de Texas and of course, Joni commented on the drop dead gorgeous Wisteria. When I drive by a home like this, I feel compelled to send it to her and say, "If you lived here, I know you would be a stalker." Am I right, or what?

My little girl took this photo. Can I tell you how much I adore the composition, the tree, the fence and the canopy of leaves. I think it would make a wonderful illustration. (hint to me) Add that to the pile!

Joni, I really want to thank-you for inspiring me, with your posts that last for "more than just one" cup of coffee and for cajolling me to the world of blogging. Hop on over to "cote de Texas" as I just had to thank Joni with hosting a give-away of a pve design work of art. Leave a comment there to enter the give-away. (you have til Saturday) Blogging has given me a coterie of wonderful friends and advisors. Merci Joni.
