Through the Secret Keyhole on a Thankful Day…

Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, I think there is always reason to get together with those you love & enjoy (enjoy being the operative word).  A time to have treats and tea, cake and coffee, chats & giggles…

We are having all kinds of treats today.  I better start helping in the kitchen before I am uninvited!! Stay for a visit.  Mr. Bird is reading fairytales from his favorite book while Ainsley day dreams…  We are waiting for you to play the piano and share pinwheel candied desserts…

Lucky Ainsley gets to have tea with a dashing booksmart raven and one of Marjorie’s sweet girls under giant mushrooms !Love the furniture and cake..I can see you setting up some of these scenes , photographing them and making little “alternative” books for kids or something..or paintings of them. So much fun Vanessa! Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

  25. Darling girl, I want to sit and play too! I want to hear the piano playing and the sound of clinking tea cups on their saucers.
    I hope you had a most joyous Thanksgiving day!
    I’ve been rather holed up of late, but it’s a good thing.
    Wishing for you that there will be a magical miracle of REAL snow falling out your window. All you need do then is stand as it falls….a real snow angel!
    Talk to you soon!
    Love and hugs,
    Lisa
    XOXOXOXOO

    Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving…we had 75 degree weather here and everyone said that they missed the fire in our fireplace…my Mother tried to talk us into lighting a fire 🙂 She loves a fire in our fireplace…”It’s so cozy” she said. I brought out more tea lights to help her feel cozy.
    It always makes me so happy to come here to play vacariously.
