Mimi Kirchner
Tiny World Pin Cushion
I can't tell you how delighted I am! Me. Someone who never wins anything. And here I am, the winner of my third gorgeous giveaway prize since February. This time I have won a Tiny World Pin Cushion in a tea cup from the incredible doll-maker, Mimi Kirchner. To visit her blog, and see her beautiful dolls, click here.

Thank you so much, Mimi, for giving me my own Tiny World!

And my dear new blogger friend, Sue Barton, recently presented me with the Domestic Witch Award. Thank you so much, Sue! Please be sure to visit Sue's blog, Barton Originals (click here), to see her delightful art dolls, as well as the many interesting people, places and things that inspire her in her beautiful corner of Ontario, Canada.
It's been hectic here in my little part of the world, but Mr. C and I were able to get away to a smooth jazz concert last Friday. We saw jazz greats Craig Chaquico, Warren Hill, and The Rippingtons. What an awesome concert that was! Mr. C and I haven't been out alone together too often in the last few decades (yikes!), since we took the kids almost everywhere with us. So this was a real treat, and something we will be doing again more often, now that Little C and Kat are in college.

I've been painting an old bookcase and a storage bench to put in my growing art corner in our dining room. They're going to be bright, colorful, and possibly outrageous. There will be no doubt that art is being made in that room from now on. No more traditional dining room for me!
And last, but not least, thanks to everyone who's been stopping by here to leave me all your wonderful comments. I appreciate them so much! You have no idea how much I look forward to hearing from all of you, and visiting your blogs to see what you've been up to. There are many, many blogs I'm planning to visit again in the next few days. I have so much reading to catch up with!
See you soon.
