BIG news!

I am so excited to show you all my new treasure!! 
If you are a follower of Brae's blog, then you know that she was looking for a new home for her partially constructed Newport house.  Well, I am happy to say that I am the proud new owner of that beautiful piece of work!! :o)  I have so many ideas for finishing this project, I don't even know where to begin, LOL! 
I had a wonderful time meeting Brae today when we went to pick it up!  She is so nice and I was over the moon when I got to see her mini houses up close!  She does amazing work with so much attention to detail!  To see the pictures on her blog just doesn't compare to being able to look at the real thing.   I feel very honored to have had the opportunity to see them and talk with her!  :o)

Here are a few pictures of the Newport in it's new happy home

I was happy to be able to fit the whole thing into the back of our Jeep without taking it apart or cutting wires!  It worked out really well.

Here it is on my desk.  Sorry about the mess underneath! (blush)


Here is a shot of the front.  Not a very good picture, I didn't have a lot of room to maneuver around it.  It is so big!  :o) 

If you would like to see more pictures and read more about this wonderful build, and her other projects, visit Brae's blog, you won't be disappointed!  She is very generous when it comes to sharing her knowledge.
I can't wait to get to work on this house, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the garden shed.  I have been working on it.  I need to re-do a few spots on the porch because I'm not happy with the way the paint looks, then I will post some pictures of my progress.  I will also post pics of the Newport as I make progress on it as well.  I just hope I can do justice to the beautiful work that has already been put into it! 

Thank you so much Brae!  I had a wonderful time visiting with you!
I'm going to go play now :o)

Hugs,
*Jeannette
