This and that again

Hi Everybody!

Time is flying, once again, and I don't know
where this week went. It's cold and windy today,
so I will be spending the rest of the day at
home.

For Paint Party Friday I have another of my heads
 to share. I did an updated version of my avatar -
I gave myself a new dress! The quote is from
Shakespeare's Hamlet:






 And I snapped the other side of the street with my 
smart phone camera:



Our lingerie shop:



Our little Christmas Market:







And I discovered this photo on my phone when I
was downloading the pics - I must have taken
this wonderful photo of my left foot and
blanket while polishing the screen:
 

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

  5. I would love to see those little markets set up at Christmas here in the states. It's so different from what is available to us. I always enjoy this time of year when you share these markets with us.

    Of course, you have some lovely shops, too, including that lingerie shop.

    Really enjoyed your charming head, and really wish I knew more about Shakespeare and Hamlet. Wonderful art and photos today.

  7. Your head of ginger hair made me smile. The lingerie shop window is so tastefully decorated. Here, I think the bra and panty sets would have the focus. Oh, I want to stroll through the Christmas market. we don't really have anything like that. Your left foot looks quite cozy resting against the cushion that same color as your hair. That's what made me smile.

  11. Oh my. I love the new pink dress. Its a fantastic page with your new look inside it and a super quote as well.
    The photos looked lovely, but I was drawn to the last one with a big grin on my face. You never know when you may need , or use that photo, so some things are just meant to be.

  14. Love the new pink dress! Some lovely shots of the market! I wish our was like that - ours sprawls and has stalls owned by the same people in different parts of the market, although there are a lot of independent ones too! I laughed at your last photo - I am often taking odd shots of things with my smart phone - never managed my left foot yet though!! Stay Warm, Hugs, Chrisx

  28. I think the quotation is true but hard to stick to. But I guess you are being true to yourself when you decide not to say what you really feel in order to protect someone??? Your little Christmas Village feels so warm and inviting, even on a cold day. I love your pillow-great design. Have a good week.
