Our New Home

As you can well imagine, the past few weeks have been quite busy for Mr. Cobblestone and me as we have been moving into our new home in Maine.  It has been quite the adventure and we are both simply thrilled that we decided to take this leap into a new life. 

I've decided to take a short break from unpacking boxes (and boxes and boxes) to post a few pics for you.   Our home is a darling two story cape, only 1 mile from the harbor.

These pics are the ones from the real estate listing when the home was for sale.  The previous owners took all their furnishings, of course, but the pics will give you some idea of what the house looks like.  

We are located on a beautiful wooded lot 

that measures just under 2 acres.

 

It has a great wrap around deck,

 and a large living room and kitchen.

 There are two more bedrooms upstairs.  

The larger one has been turned into Mr. Cobblestone's office.

 And this precious space is now being converted into my studio.  

I will be sure to share pics when it is finished.

 We've already been hard at work making changes to the home to make it ours.  The first changes were to the family room.  We removed an over sized shelving unit to give the fireplace its proper status in the room.  And we removed that hideous wood-burner insert to expose the brick hearth. 

 Ah yes, much better!

There is still a lot of laura-ing to be done to the house

to bring it up to my decorating standards, 

(hey, you saw my other house),

but I'm sure we will enjoy the process.

Stay tuned ~ I'm in the mood for a mouse giveaway!!!!

Lucky me!

Yesterday the mailman left a wonderful package for me.  I had been chosen the winner in the Halloween Fanatic's recent giveaway and am now the proud owner of this darling little owl by Robert Brawley, aka The Halloween Fanatic.

I have had the peasure of knowing Robert for a few years now through the Because We Believe Art (BWBA) group on eBay.  I have admired his work for quite some time ~ and I have to say he is just one of those artist's who you can tell REALLY enjoys his work.  His energy and playfulness are evident in each and every one of his pieces. 

I encourage you to check out his blog and website and see his creations for yourself ~ I bet they make you smile too.  And you will find links there to his Etsy store, eBay, etc.

Thank-you again, Robert.  I will treasure my new little friend!

Oh ~ and Robert was kind enough to remind me to protect my mice ~ well, because you know how owls feel about mice.  

So far, so good . . .

Such a loooooooong way to go . . .

The winner of the Choose Your Mouse giveaway has chosen

The Vampire Mouse

for her prize. 

He was indeed one of my all time favorites.  And he will be travelling all the way to South Africa!
