The bird cage caught my eye! I used to raise canaries. When I heard their song for the first time, it captivated me! It was difficult to find canaries where I live, so I decided to breed them so others could enjoy their song. My mom and my sister each got a canary from me. I would love to see the birdcage up there on the shelf in your workshop!

Okay, “ I Spy “ 😆 a beautiful wooden object in front of your awesome designer bike, like large wooden spools ? Old fashioned wooden spools for yarn? Really love old objects they used for spinning yarn… And I used an easel like that in my college art classes. You can’t find a better easel even though it is a bit large and cumbersome. 😬😆 Lastly, I am sooooo excited that you are going to make another doll house!!!! That has always been on my “bucket list.” I love love that you are using very old patterns for the chairs. I have some very old magazines, and a very old Spiegel Catalog from like 1949. You’d be surprised what you could buy in those days, appliances, automotives, pianos, mower engines, etc. lol very interesting as a conversation piece;) Thank you!!! Sending much 💕 Mary ^ - ^ 🥰

The old fashioned snowshoes hanging up on the end of a bookshelf - are those the ones you use or did the Canadian ones replace them? I love old suitcases, and how sensible to use them for storage, since most of them are far too heavy for modern travel, as they don't have wheels or extended handles.

Place it between your copied image and the wood and use a stylus or other hard instrument to trace with.

Just before you asked us to notice something, my eyes were fixed on the traditional handmade snowshoes. I used to have a pair (and eventually sold them to a real estate agent who wanted them for “staging” photos for a vacation home sale). I think mine are what is known as Huron style. I looked online, and your snowshoes seem to be Green Mountain style (the Green Mountains are in Vermont … vert + mont, get it😊?). Anyway, if someone wants to weigh in on the style of your snowshoes, please do.
