Those glitterhouses are absolutely wonderful!

I went into the Christmas Tree Shop in York, PA on Sunday and saw a repro glitterhouse for $6.99. I didn't buy it, but it was kind of fun to see a modern version of a cheap little house. I did buy a loofa there and I'm going to try to make a tree to replace a missing tree on a house I just got.

That Australian blog site is wonderful (I also like her cotton batting snowman). We featured her as well on EverythingCroton: http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/20 ... us_15.html

Also here's someone else making houses from Howard Lamey patterns:

Ooops, I just posted this link in another forum. I THOUGHT it looked familiar. Shows that I'm not keeping track like I used to when we only had four or five posts a week.
