Welcome home my friend! And th...GOOD EVENING VERA!<br /><br />Welcome home my friend! And that you would come to visit me is such a kind gesture of friendship! Yes, my post does tend to crash ipads!<br /><br />Yes, you saw my dining room. I too am loving our sparse but very beautiful tree with no ornaments, just lights. There is something about the bare nature of the tree that I want to focus on this year, and it is a delight. I will be posting more photos after this week is over. I have TWO WEEKS OFF! <br /><br />MERRY CHRISTMAS sweet sista!

You will love looking back at it and reading it someday. There are places that do that very reasonably. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it all! I made tons of white mice many years ago and gave them as gifts-peeking out of red Christmas Santa hats or out of red stockings. I love the imagination of what you did here.

AHHHH....this qui...Bonjour chère amie du théâtre! <br /><br />AHHHH....this quiet Sunday morning if rife with possibilities once again, as I come back to my seat in your lush Gypsy Caravan theatre. Dear heart, what a way to celebrate your first year of blogging with such fun. I will never, ever grow tired of joining with other people who see the possible. YOU SEE IT, and so do the rest of us. <br /><br />When you first showed me the little red vest, I knew I was up for an older-worldly treat. You took Doré's fabulous empty stage and filled it with your dreams. Art is this way; it takes us into the other person's mind and heart. <br /><br />I LOVE YOUR IDEA about going to Paris in 2015; I was supposed to go in May with some high school students but the enrollment was too low, so the trip was cancelled. Ruben however, is taking me to Carmel! What if we were to plan a trip in 2016? Do you think you would be up for it??????<br /><br />We got our first real tree yesterday. The house smells of my childhood, and yesterday when we brought it home, I just played. DANG how I loved my childhood, those simple and different from the other kids' experience. <br /><br />Be well today dear friend. ENCORE ENCORE! BIS!

However, I came over very quickly yesterday at 3:30am, and I THOUGHT I left a comment! But evidently, I did not!<br /><br />OK. I am so thrilled. I am so excited that this morning,knowing it was Saturday and that I did not have to rush off anywhere kept me waking up every hour with excitement. I woke up thinking, "I can't wait to revisit my friends and their theatres!" And here I am. <br /><br />The darling little red gypsy vest, the gorgeous details that surround the theatre and the snow puff, the caravan.....you really outdid yourself (AND ME! TEEEE) I fear I veered off to Paris, for my theatre mice are intrigued with the garish and opulent scene of Versailles. But in their soul, they love the outback and travelin' spirit. You have displayed your imagination here in such a colorful and awesome show. Hasn't this been fun?<br /><br />I will be coming back yet again to spy out the details. Much love to you dear one.
