  4. What a gorgeous house you have, and I love the painted woodwork, so elegant and striking. I find vintage toys fascinating too, what is it about them............. they've got a charm that modern plastic new toys don't always have, don't they? Thank you for the sneaky peek into your home! Love Vanessa xxx (do you mind if i knit)

  5. Hello Linda,
    Thank you for visiting my blog and for your comment. Its lovely to discover yours - you have a very beautiful home.
    Just to say that I have a dog on wheels, but he's not strictly a fox terrier. He can be seen on one of my past posts here: http://nostalgiaatthestonehouse.blogspot.com/2009/11/friends-from-far-and-near.html
    I shall add you to my blog roll, as I'd love to visit you again...
