Still, memories are great things, and physical reminders even better I reckon. Well done on the unpacking and good luck with the bagpipes...put it with the didgeridoo and you could have an interesting band. Just warn the neighbours first!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762326830724357881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-89552714592416040672010-03-23T00:22:52.856-04:002010-03-23T00:22:52.856-04:00I am loving your blog...your art pieces are wondef...I am loving your blog...your art pieces are wondeful. I love entering homes with interesting decor...you know the home owner is someone you would like to sit with for awhile and chat.

I love the look of your eclectic home . It's unique and interesting and I mean that in the nicest possible way. My friend is a potter and her home is full of many diverse pieces of art and, we all love it.<br />My brother-in-law went to Africa somewhere and came back with one of those wooden statues, but his was very rude !!!! It comes out every Christmas and we all have a good laugh at it.<br />We are going to Edinburgh in mid-April so, ask Mr. H if he would like us to bring home a set of bagpipes or maybe a sporren to display !! <br />I really enjoyed hearing about Mr.H's travels and his aquisitions !!

I loved reading this - it reminds me of a friend in Sydney who, when I used to take her househunting with me & express disappointment about the colour/state of the walls in a given house, would tell me 'The walls aren't important, it's what you hang on them that matters'! I love the things collected over a long period of time and which become your family history....great story xSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654149963089015480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-7255544039188156442010-03-22T10:43:33.927-04:002010-03-22T10:43:33.927-04:00Hi Jeanne
What a great posting, you made me laugh ...Hi Jeanne<br />What a great posting, you made me laugh out loud. It all rings too true! My husband does not appreciate it when I lay down the rules about what is and is not acceptable in the house as opposed to elsewhere - here the elsewhere is also called the office!<br /><br />But we must stick to our guns, we do know what we're talking about.. even if tribal masks do have a certain je ne sais quoi.<br /><br />And yes, you should definitely be worried about bagpipes.<br /><br />Sharonsharon santoni at my french country homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475608374691177747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-8677911922882559802010-03-22T10:10:40.851-04:002010-03-22T10:10:40.851-04:00Oh, my son would be so jealous.

My husband ended up making one from a long tube from the hardware store. I hear that thing in my sleep!<br /><br />I so understand all the weird items you are talking about. My husband recently went to Africa and we are awaiting 9 creatures for the walls. I did some quick thinking and switched my sons bedroom so we could have a den upstairs with the high ceilings used for the creatures. He has also gone to Jamaica and has many masks and statues. None of it goes with my decor, so having his own room works! <br /><br />I think my daughter would have been scared too!1 Funky Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423614215175688741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-14257605453106725942010-03-22T08:49:51.755-04:002010-03-22T08:49:51.755-04:00It all looks wonderful, and the more tribal pieces...It all looks wonderful, and the more tribal pieces are just the thing for the gala guestroom. Look at those super armchairs! It must create a house full of individuality. Mind you, I'd go for some St. Andrews crystal rather than the bagpipes...Misehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784548726623938608noreply@blogger.com
