| I started at the gate with the orange/3 holes bricks. |
 |
| Found the red bricks from the kitchen chimney, 1890 circa, more work to lay! |
 |
| The red bricks from 1890 are irregular in a rectangle shape. I am using a brick chisel to chip off the 1890 mortar which consists of, 120 years old sandy-salt crumbles! |
 |
| This boat is moored on the river in front of the Nombre De Dios church. Behind it is the bridge we take to Vilano Beach, the views are breathtaking. |
 |
| Hey! What? Just a minute!! |
 |
| Let me show you my good side. |
 |
| Ah, how's that profile shot? |
 |
| This shrine is dedicated to Our Lady de La Leche y Buen Parto-Our Lady of Milk and Happy Delivery. The original shrine is from 1565, it has been rebuilt on the same spot 3 times, this one is from 1915. It is so serene inside and out. This park runs along the Mantanza river at the end of Mulberry St. It is a beautiful place for a walk. |
 |
| I found this in an antique junk shop north of St Augustine. Going back for a mirror and wall sconces! |
 |
| I love this room, the light is perfect in here! We still have to trim out the window and door frame, paint and buy lamps, bedside tables and dressers, plus build a closet. |
 |
| We are doing a room a week and hope to have Bluebell Cottage ready for the rental program at the end of March! |
 |
| Day four. Leather sofa from St Vincent De Paul's, oriental rug from yard sale in November and lamps and tables from Anchor Cottage. |
 |
| I crave color in the winter! |
 |
| I own a framed Currier & Ives Litho from the original Anchor Cottage, circa 1934. |
 |
| A Limoge platter to add to my collection. |
 |
| My mate and I take vitamins every morning, so to keep them handy I disguise them in vintage salt & pepper shakers. |
 |
| I needed a dog biscuit jar on my counter for "good" dogs:-) |
 |
| All the inventory is moved over to the south half of the store. Hope the north half rents! |
 |
| This is a nice start for decorating a room. Add oriental carpet and gold leaf mirror over the fireplace. |
 |
| Still looking for my counter:) |
 |
| "Scoot over Joe Johnson, I'm cold," says Ben Franklin. "Mom say's we're leaving for Florida soon!" |
 |
| It always feels good to have the tree down and the decorations put away this time of year. |
 |
| Plants are barely holding on. |
 |
| Snow is piling up. |
 |

 |
| I had a moment to wander through my favorite gallery the other day and ended up making a wish list of art for my home. This artist, above, has a great collection of bird pieces. |
 |
| Must have this to hang on my kitchen wall. |
 |
| This tile piece goes outside, next to my front door. |
 |
| Over the fireplace. |
 |
| I would hang these along my picket fence. |
 |
| The intensity of this landscape will hang on the dinningroom wall. The Michigan Artists Gallery is located in Suttons Bay MI and has a select collection of modern day folk art and paintings that will knock your socks off. |
