and so the door opens......
Welcome in.....
Don't worry about those big teeth in the corner....
He doesn't bite... Gertie was trying out a handsome prince potion, do you think it worked??
I think he is probably looking in the potion cupboard for an 'undo the previous potion' potion!!
or maybe he has his eye on that wasp on the apple....
I think the Pumpkin soup and mushroom cupcakes look tastier....
but mind out for that big black spider on the bottom shelf...
So where is Gertie? Ah, there she is.....
Sitting in her favourite chair, by the Aga. I bet she is about to eat some of that pumpkin soup....
With another of her pet dragons at her feet....
who is enjoying the sun coming in through the window....
or... is he about to pull that piece of cotton hanging down from the dresser???
We'll have to wait and see untill tomorrow....
Credit today goes to....

Please respect that all the images and text here are copyright. The work that has gone into making Gertie's cottage has come about through a lot of dedication, love , sweat and yes, sometimes frustration by myself, hubby and fellow peeps who have contributed through Gertie swaps, giveaways and purchases. I am happy for you to link to these posts or to 'borrow' some images if you so wish, but please ASK first and let me know where the image will be used.. so that I can be nosy!! xx
Well you dont dissapoint Julia, just sat down with my coffee all ready for a read and here it was......you know Im going to get used to this every morning!! I adore that ebay find of yours that is a beautiful cabinet! The spell is hilarious what a great fun idea, makes me feel sorry for poor Gertie though, maybe one day Jain will make a real love for Gertie to share this beautiful cottage with! I can see a sleeping hubby in his own cosy chair in there with her! Loads of great minis and Im proud that Gertie liked me minis! Now to have my cuppa and sit and have another look. Maybe next time Ill treat myself to a mince pie while I take the tour!! Kate xxx
ReplyDeleteOOh Kate, we nearly had a blogger disaster, the photos wouldn't load. I had them all ready last night and I clicked too load them this morning and No, they wouldn't.. I was just getting white squares with a red X!! After retrying to load them for the hundreth time they worked, but I really thought we weren't going to get there this morning!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it again, Hywel is going to tease me again for the words, but I am enjoying writing my little story :0) I think maybe it would be nice one day for Gertie to find herself a wizard to share her spot in front of the aga :0)
Your minis look fab in there and it is lovely to look in through the window and see all my friends work alongside my own, thankyou :0)
Now I am off to make myself a cuppa!

Love the Story Julia. The Dragon looking in the cabinet made me laugh..xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie, I am enjoying writing the story :0) Hywel has to take the blame for the cheesey grinning dragon, he originally found him and there are two more to be shown yet!
ReplyDeleteJulia xx
More goodies! I am enjoying your narrative...don't abide any teasing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tabitha, I will ignore any more teasing off the biggest 'green dragon' in our house!! LOL
