Our house isn't even quite 90% finished after nearly 5 years (namely because I'm married to the carpenter) and I get the itch to relocate again just to stir things up. It completely re-motivates me to have a big change like that. Although, I love where we're at. Good thing, too...since we're planning to go nowhere. :)<br /><br />I noticed that little 'gate' right away -- I love it! I always enjoy seeing how you mix and match patterns and prints. It's so inspiring to me.<br /><br />~ Jennifer~ Junkyard Jenniferhttp://jennifersjunkylife.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-40260059832845466012011-05-27T13:53:31.277-07:002011-05-27T13:53:31.277-07:00I'm running behind this week Tif :o)

Apparently they would love a trip across the oceans in a suitcase to live in your shed as it is somewhat more luxurious than theirs. Now that would surely frighten you cat more than little olive and they could jump the gate no probs.<br />warm woolly wishes<br />amandaamanda mcleodhttp://floradougal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
