Lisbeth, Jane, and Beatrix

 I know I use this image a lot.  The black tights and billowing aprons appeal to me. Lisbeth Zwerger's artwork is so fluid and warm.  You can read more about her here.
 Look at these six cutie pies.  Don't you love the green blanket and the red striped pajamas?
 Some of her work is mysterious.
 I love Jane Dyer's use of color.  Don't you wish you had a couple of bug friends to help you with your beauty routine?
 I could make you a crown of sunflowers and cosmos.  Please wear your rosy red corduroy dress.

 Here is a tiny painting of Beatrix's house.  Look how snug she looks in her wools.  
 Do you have a doll house?  Doll house bookcases are nice and I've seen a few reasonably priced on the Internet.  Maybe we should ask Santa for one and then we could purchase furniture, little by little.  Our dollhouses would be easier to keep clean than our big girl houses.
Day two of school is finished and the eleven year olds are very nice.  They've been struggling with their lockers and schedules, but soon they'll get settled in.  All of the teachers are tired because it's hard to get back in the game after a nice lazy summer.
I'm reading Little Women again.  What are you reading?
