Our Place.

This is our home, shipped over and built by my mum's uncle in the 1950's. Unfortunately all of the owners between the time they lived there and we moved in didn't quite have the love for the place that we do.  Below is my parents house (next-door, where I grew-up) that was also stitched together by my mum's uncle. One day our place will look that loved.

A puzzle for 1 to 4 people!

I have head-over-heals fallen in love with vintage jig-saws. Their quaint portrayals of life not to mention the absolute satisfaction at finding the connecting piece. Here is one I found in the local op-shop, not bad for a $2 gamble (yes all the pieces are there).

No. 1. Our Village A Tower Press Jig-Saw.
