This is a pattern for a beaded safety-pin pin.
I am starting to feature the countries that
a. are readers of my blog
b. are participants in the 2012 Olympics

Now on to fanciful houses
and the *imagined residents of some of them!
*(aka paper dolls)
'Garden Conservancy Open Gardens'

'Bungalow Cottage'
West King Edward Street, Vancouver, Canada

Arthur Rackham's Hansel, Gretel and the Witch

You can find it in California, USA.

Here is another home called
'Witches House' in Beverly Hills, California, USA.

unknown names and sources
Perhaps these lovely sisters lived in one of them:
I'll share half today, and half tomorrow.
I don't want to 'over whelm' you, but mostly
I will not write a book
