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!
ha ha,, the left foot shot is so cute lol,, what a beautiful peek at what its like shopping where you live it, I love it,, no big box stores, real people in small shops or open air,, how beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteoh I'm so sorry I forgot to compliment you on your art,, another wonderful piece!
ReplyDeleteHi Val, love your latest head and your left foot is really photogenic! Lovely to see your little shops looking so festive, and the market is sweet. Did you drink a Gluehwein yet? Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteI loved taking a walk around your Christmas market, thank you. The last photo made me smile! I like your pretty new dress btw. Hugs Barbara
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteOf 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.
Hi Valerie! Wow! I want to shop where you live! The shops look so festive and beautiful! And I love your adorable and creative work of art!! Hete’s Wishing you and your family a very happy holiday season!
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteI really do get the biggest kick out of the inside of your head! And all the marketing photos. Lovely territory!
ReplyDeleteOh for a chip implant of Shakespeare's thought processes. Wasn't he amazing?
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas market pictures made me smile.
Loved the foot shot!
Have a holly, jolly day.
Hugs
What an original idea, well done! Loved window shopping with you!
ReplyDeleteOh my. I love the new pink dress. Its a fantastic page with your new look inside it and a super quote as well.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.

Great idea to shelter at home today. Your PPF avatar is so cute. Enjoyed your photos of the wonderful Christmas market. Your candid photo is very cute!
ReplyDeleteLove 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

ReplyDeleteGreat photos too and your market looks so much better than ours, maybe I should visit one day.

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.
ReplyDeleteGood question, and that would be fine with me!
DeleteTo thine own self be true...a very poignant "head" painting. I loved the Christmas market as well, and your reflective shots.
ReplyDeleteWonderful painting and quote! I enjoyed strolling round the little Christmas market with you and those Christmas shop windows are beautiful 😁. So funny you took a picture of your foot ...lol 😉. Thanks for the smiles and have a lovely evening and weekend! J 😊
ReplyDeleteAdoro i mercatini di Natale e la loro atmosfera di magia. Grazie per aver condiviso un pezzetto della vita con noi. Un abbraccio.
ReplyDeleteLovely holiday photos ~ so festive and love your latest 'head' creation ~ colorful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend to you,

Fun piece, love the birds flying around your head. Your Christmas market looks so wonderful! We missed the tree lighting ceremony this year, but the window display contest always makes for a beautiful day of lights and decorations! happy weekend :)
ReplyDeleteFace is so fun, by love it. I love your cozy foot picture too makes me giggle! I've done that so much but not as flattering as your picture!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
I love your face!! It's perfect!!! Gorgeous Christmas Market! Wish I could go! Waving hi to your foot! LOL! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAwesome face and update to your avatar. :) I love the foot picture- I do stuff like that all the time. Sometimes surprising photos show up of random floors or feet.
