 I bought this old postcard last week.   I think it's hilarious...
a different 'eye pose' everytime.

Just wondered which one you like best?

As for Mr. Wolf there, not only is he rather menacing, but I think a little too salacious for comfort.

Dennis Severs House - London UK

 A wonderful, wonderful weekend in London.

We were able to spend time with our girl, who lives and works there.

We went Mudlarking on the Thames foreshore...the sky was blue...

until the evening when we watched forks of lightening light up London skyline

Found by the current husband.   

I found a marble!!!  

Taking the moment in.

 Onto Dennis Severs' House in Spitalfields.

Sharp contract of buildings.

 Waiting to go inside and it absolutely persisted it down.

 Worth the wait in the rain though.   I will never forget our visit to this House.

Hello,

thank you for your comments on yesterday's post.

With regard to the Dog Brooch...

Flamin' Nora asked what the dog's name was.

 Sharon Young's comment with regard to 'Monsieur Bob', inspired me to call 

this particular dog design 'Bob the dog'.   Catchy eh?

I will be making more of those particular brooches soon.

Another kind of dog makes another appearance on a Brooch.

 I was very lucky today to receive a gift out of the blue, from Christine of gentlework

A beautiful brooch made for me.   Christine said that she had found the Dog in a button box, so made a brooch home for him to live on.

Made my day to receive such a lovely gift.

I am having a little break away from blogging over the next few days, as the current husband and I are off to London town.   

There are a couple of things I want to do...

Hoping to go Mudlarking on the Thames foreshore, when the tide is out, of course :)   Here is a brilliant Mudlarker  Blog , which you may already know about.   So I wonder what we will find?  

I also want to visit Dennis Servers' House, looks like an incredible experience.   

Not sure if either of these will happen, but just looking forward to a couple of days in London.  

See you on the other side.  Have a great weekend.

Hello

Run with the Fox

Into the wind

Unto the dawn of tomorrow

Run with the Fox

Into the wild

Into the wild in the fold

Beware of the rocks

And be prepared

Prepare for love comes and goes

Run with the Fox

Random Christmas song lyrics I know...but every time I look at this Fox, these words spring to mind,
so .... :)

Thank you for your comments.   It seems that many of us are singing from the same hymn sheet when it comes to Google+

Hello,

thank you for all your comments from the previous posts.  Glad I'm not alone on the 'tat' collecting front.

Question : Does anyone understand Google+ thingy and the way Blogger works these days?   I think it's just me, my mind set and feeling annoyed with how Blogger has changed.  It was all so simple at one time, but now, I am completely confused by the whole thing and can't really be bothered to look into it.  Should I be looking into it?

Doggy Brooch made today.   A little Bee has caught his attention.

Oh, I do love a bit of tat.
