August Village Piece: Gypsy Wagon

Hello from Texas!

Yes, It's here!  I was determined to get August's house done in August and it finally here!

As we continue to build our Village Collection, this month is a Vintage Gypsy Wagon...a Vardo.  I wanted to change things up a bit and do a unique "house" to add to the collection.  Done with Authentique Paper and paint.  The gypsies call these wagons ‘vardos’.  The outside of the horse drawn abode is typically very decorative and over the top, with beautifully engraved carvings and paintings, as well as ornately designed wheels – these wagons certainly did make a statement!  I sure had a such a great time designing this one!  Hope you give it a try!

I present August's Abode...

July Village Piece and Fairy Doors!

Good Afternoon!

I don't know about you all, but I'm melting in Central Texas!  It's sad to look across my yard and see 50 Shades of Brown...Come on cooler weather is what I say!  That's my mantra anyway.  I know alot of you are enjoying the heat as you see so many cold days every year.  Where ever you are, enjoy these last days of summer.  I'm ready for fall..

Today, I wanted to share several things with you.  As you may or may not know, I went on vacation in July with a fun road trip from Texas to Alabama, to North Carolina to Virginia.  It was a blast.  I was so inspired by the architecture of Colonial Williamsburg and decided I needed to create a Georgian House.  This type of house can actually be seen everywhere and has been such a classical style that is still built.  The house I created may conjure up thoughts of old colonial houses, plantaion houses or even sorority or fraternity houses.  LOL!

As I was on vacation, I am totally late with July's house, and I loved hearing from you all that you missed it.  Thank you for that!  I have actually created August's...Domicile shall we say and it sits across from me as I write this.  However, I wanted to get July's out first.  So August's Village Piece is coming!

Here's the Georgian House..

Thanks so much for giving me some of your time.  Hope you all have an awesome week ahead and remember August House is coming!  It's different and cool!
