Angel House

Hi everybody!
Hope all of you in the States have survived Thanksgiving and Black Friday. They showed pictures on our news of the people queuing up at the stores and sometimes even fighting over things, looks scary!
Here it was a 'normal' Thursday and Friday, cool and grey and damp - good weather for crafting.
I have made a little angel house for Paper Saturdays. I glued 2 matchboxes behind a tag, and cut windows so that the matchbox drawers were visible. I gave them a coat of paint, and lined them with corrugated card and a scrap of gold netting. Then I added the vintag angel scraps and stars, and used gold liquid pearls to embellish it. Now I have another decoration.
I am also linking to Craftroom Challenge - vintage Christmas




I went for a walk, as always, and wandered through the misty landscape. I love the way the mist makes everything seem rather unreal, and dissolves the contours.

There were no passengers waiting to use the ferry.
 

It looks like this horse has too many legs....
 

The ducks were happy:
 

I enjoyed having the world just for me:
 


And the sheep were doing their jobs and keeping the grass short.
 




Have a great day you all, take care, and thanks for coming by!

  1. Your angel house decoration is terrific, Valerie, love the vintage scraps and the gold surface and the windows with their gold netting, all extremely cleverly made. That looked like a lovely autumn walk. It is not so cold here, just nice and autumnal with lovely skies.

  14. Your project looks great. And so do your photos. I LOVE the fog.. We never ever saw fog in the desert. But we get it here in Washington every now and then. But I bet if you grew up with it you might get tired of it. I know the locals here get tired of it.. I don't do the black Friday craziness. I want to know who all those people are. Cause I don't know anyone who shops in all that craziness. But I hear there are deals to be made..

    Have a great weekend my friend.

    Hugs~

    1. I love mist, but not thick fogs like we had in London when I was a kid. I would never go to those sales either!

  16. Well I am behind on blog visits as of spending much time in the kitchen for Thanksgiving. Yes we survived Thanksgiving and don't do Black Friday! No sale is worth that at all! We went years ago and before people became so insane and it was bad enough then! Love your Angel House tag, so pretty and clever! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

  21. Hi Valerie, love the paper house for the angels. Just a darling treasure. Once again your pics just amaze. Love seeing the horse with the blanket. We took a drive today and I saw the horses here in Texas covered too. For us it is cold and they are not used to it. The sheep grazing is a beautiful shot too.
    Have a wonderful evening. Hugs!!

  26. Your angel house is grand - love the vintage look.
    One of our best walks I must say Valerie. The boat looks so gay - like a piece of folk art sitting on the water. I do love trees and I really don't care if they have leaves or not!
    Great pictures!!
