In the Casa Hacienda,
Los Ninos were excited by the Nativity
from La Tienda.
Well, in review, November was the first month of my blog.
Uh, 58 entries. Must have had a thing or two on my mind for a while...
We shall see what December brings.... besides Happy Holidays!
The White House is behind me, I'll try a better shot tomorrow.
Hmmm, My invitation from The President and First Lady hasn't arrived yet...
Pass your plate! The first time I saw this I thought it was my size. (Which is getting bigger every day with all the trimming of Thanksgiving arriving in my house, my friends' houses and my daughter's house).
I am leaving to spend next week with my East Coast daughter in Washington D.C. The Grecons may have to go with me...
I don't think the Grecons will be visiting her Law School, though. I can just hear her,
MOTHER! What are you DOING? Well, at least they should see the White House.
Roof of Dollhouse. It has wheels and spins around. It is VERY fun to play with! Six sides.
and red chair, Bozart pictures, Mini modernista triple pendant lamp over diningroom table, Marx brown side chairs. Lundby rug.

Update: I tried another version of the kitchen with Tomy Smallhouse kitchen set.
Brimtoy sink and cupboard. Barton kettle and pans.
I love the idea of extra furniture piled up and displayed as a used furniture store.
update: I just discovered "St. Vincent de Small" by Charlene Mirabella, on the Shopping Sherpa's blog. Love it! Someday I'll know how to link to it to make it easier to see from here!
update, update: I realized, after going back an looking at older posts from Rebecca's Collection blog that her blog is where I first saw this idea. July, 2, 2009 "The Swanns visit Tim's Second Hand Shop".
"O M G !" said Colette's son! " What
is THAT thing?"
Her daughter yelled, "MOM!"
I used a tile saw to cut Mexican Talavera tile for the Cocina.
Adios! Vaya Con Dios
My realitty.
AFTER
Due to many questions about what a dremmel actually is, pinchofpepper sent these photos of her table saw and dremmel. As you can see the table saw is small. No wonder I almost lose a finger trying to use the one in my garage... and Santa I've been good (that's a lie) and I don't have a dremmel...
Yay! More Christian Hackers!!!!!!
