I hope everybody is doing well out there in blog land, is the weather treating you nice? I know some of our northern neighbors have been having a difficult winter, but hopefully you all still have power!
Today I thought I would introduce you to some new characters in my mini drama. This is Raven the gypsy women and Romy the pretty little blonde girl that she says is her daughter!?
It's Romy's job to collect the eggs everyday. It seems one of the sheep has wandered over to see whats going on, is that naughty sheep eating the flowers?
As you can see Raven's chickens are thriving and the hens are in the nesting boxes laying eggs!
There seems to be a lot of mystery surrounding these two, they live in an old servants house on the Valentine property. Dr. Valentine discovered them camping on the estate and offered them the old servants house in exchange for some of Raven's Herbal medicines for his patients ( I haven't found the right house yet, so just pretend with me ) She also gives the Valentine's Eggs from the chickens she keeps and home spun yarn from her sheep.
This was the chicken coop that came from the estate sale where I bought that huge haul of miniatures, I positioned all the chickens with a little wax so that they would stand up or sit in the nesting box ,unfortunately this picture doesn't show the nesting boxes very well. I also added a little bit of Ivy, some dried flowers and sunflowers to a few spots on the outside of the coop. Well that's it for now, but you'll hear more about these characters in the future!! Till next time, love and blessings to you all :)

This is cute and I love the chicken yard, coop and chickens.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment on my blog. I didn't see an email address for you, so will write a quick note here. No, no, this is not my first attempt, except for the dog rose and those pink french knot roses which I've not done before. I've enjoyed what little ribbon embroidery I've done, and now am inspired to learn and do more of it.
I also love this heart. It came out pretty and makes me feel happy.
Thank you for your prayers for my friend and her husband. Like you, I don't know how people who don't believe in Jesus can go through dealing with hard times. He has been my strength each and every day.
Have a good day today ~ FlowerLady
Thank you Lorraine,
DeleteSorry you had trouble figuring out how to contact me, I need to go see my niece so she can help me revamp it a little, I tend to be a little technologically challenged, ha ha! I do hope to see your future ribbon projects, they're just so pretty!!
Thanks for stopping by,

I LOVE this little drama. Could it possibly have a spark of it's creativity from the news story I saw a month or so ago about the little blonde girl living with gypsies? I am excited to follow your story, who knows where it will take me ? Love the chicken coop & chickens.
ReplyDeleteActually I didn't catch that news story, but now I'm curious about it and will have to see if I can find it on the internet! I've always heard rumors about the gypsy's taking blonde children, so I thought it would be fun to weave a story around this . Stay tuned, even I don't know exactly how Raven got that fair haired child! He He,

The story is an international one and the little blonde girl was living with Romany gypsies and obviously not related to them . There was speculation she was the little girl who was kidnaped a few years ago in a sensational story but that was disproven. Anyway, the little girl who looks very Scandinavian was thus far unidentified . Haven't heard anything more in the last few months. Interesting though.
DeleteLove the whole story going on here, complete with chickens! :-)
