It took many years and several houses to finally find our HOME. <br /><br />Ours is primary colors, painted furniture, books, books and more books, a window seat, mullioned windows, slip covers and quilts.<br /><br />It is also sand (from the beach) on the old wood floors, dog hair and rumpled cushions. It is just plain comfortable.<br /><br />I love traveling, enjoy my career am always on the go, but I am happiest sitting in my garden or by the fire in my little cottage.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-90595421485677813882010-10-22T10:51:51.252-04:002010-10-22T10:51:51.252-04:00Love everything about your post!
