Collectors.....

....and collections.

Rocky Mountain Juniper....I absolutely love their vivid blue berries!

(Thank goodness I started this post early this morning......there's not much energy left at the end of the day.  We've been busy.  I'll have some photos of the fruits of our labors in the next few days because Liz's place is still very much in transition....but we're making progress.

Liz and Alyson live in the same condo complex....and I've been mostly working at Liz's during the day.....and sleeping at Alyson's.  All three of us are collectors.....and all of us have printers drawers so we collect tiny things.  

This tiny Curious George in one of Alyson's printers drawers captured my heart.

The view from the front door into Alyson's place.

Another printer's drawer in the guest room.

These little handmade finger puppets have a pretty special story that you can read about here:

And did any other family other than the Shupe's grow up with the game Hey Pa There's a Goat on the Roof?

Here's a little glimpse of a few of Liz's tiny treasures in her printer's drawer.  More photos of Liz's place coming soon.

Liz's bookcases hold some of her collections including many of her reader. And it's fun to see again in person how this row of rainbow books are illuminated in the afternoon sun.
