- A fun Victorian.
- Disconcerting exterior but I like the interior.
- Charming.
- Spaceship style MCM. Maybe we’ve seen it before. Maybe we haven’t. I certainly don’t remember!

- Live in a wee lighthouse.
- Quite nice house built in the 13th century.

Polly “helping” me take art journal photos.
Harry and the poor battered ‘nip jack’o’lantern.
Pretty Polly.
Focused Harry is focused.
Art journaling, reading, knitting, and cat parenting. It's a wild life.
