I learned some things about her that I did not know... How sweet of you to put this all together for us to enjoy.<br /><br />Now.. I have to say that your comment you left made me laugh so hard, and yet, made my heart skip a beat when I thought Cosmo was GONE. HAAAAAAA oh how he loves shinny things... Your heartfelt comment was so appreciated.<br />Wishing you the best CHRISTmas ever. I am so happy we found each other... Thank you for your friendship.<br />love and blessings,<br />PennyAngelsdoor * Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770992037653364805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692353766608445190.post-63336774299087659092014-12-08T13:00:07.653-05:002014-12-08T13:00:07.653-05:00Visiting you from Sew and Sow Farm's SMS Givea...Visiting you from Sew and Sow Farm's SMS Giveaway post!

When I first made this theatre, it wasn't as "French" but it was the perfect place for me to play. I did a paper doll presentation over at Nowhere, and that set the ball rolling. I adore playing with miniatures, and the fun never stops!<br /><br />THANK YOU for your kind comment on my post. Yep, that's me, Madame Rivera the French teacher! teeeee<br /><br />BIG HUGS to you dearest Linnie!

First of all, I want more animals here at the cottage, but Rattus my room mate and life-long friend will not stand for it! Thus, my plotting and planning must grow ever so sly...teeeeee I am trying to figure out how I can get a horse into the house without him knowing about it...any suggestions, Mousekins family? teeee<br /><br />LINNIE! Hello dear heart! Thank you for coming by to visit again! Blessings to you on this second of December! My parents' 58th wedding anniversary was yesterday, a date I am grateful for!<br /><br />Enjoy your day. I am off to work!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and watched all the videos. That IS the same book I have, found it 24 years ago in a grocery store in Virginia. Her work was a great inspiration to me when first I started doing my folk art. Lovely to see her and listen to her talking about her ancestors. 101 years old, how fabulous! I love her. Will Moses was an exhibitor in the show I did a few weeks back in York, pa. But, he is no Gramma Moses. Thanks Linnie, it was great and you look beautiful in the photos!jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692353766608445190.post-10629352661059009252014-12-01T13:20:01.047-05:002014-12-01T13:20:01.047-05:00Oh my goodness Linnie!

God is not finished with me yet!! ;o) I had no idea she did such lovely embroidery first and then started painting at such an older age! LOVE her work! THANK YOU so much for sharing your visit. This only makes my heart grow fonder of a visit to this area...hopefully very soon! I love his quote at the end.

I watched all the videos, which were wonderful. Grandma Moses is one of my inspirations because she gives me hope that I still, one day, be able to paint a picture. I'll be glad if I'm the only one who ends up liking it. She must have been thrilled when people started paying good sums for her paintings. I wonder how much she made during her lifetime and what she did with the extra money. I love her grandson's paintings. Have you see his work? Will Moses. I have several of his children's books. I have a large book called "The Grandma Moses Storybook" that contains a short autobiography of her which I will have to read now because you've rekindled my interest in her. Your photos of the museum are wonderful. We've been to Bennington, but not to the museum, so it will be a must-see stop the next time we are up there.

I bought a book on Grandma Moses that we were going to use for homeschool soon; we'll have to do it this week! <br />I love the highboy dresser, and the quilt, and the pottery, and the book store, and etc. :) <br />I don't know if you noticed, but Teddy Roosevelt is looking askance at Hubbybear spoiling you that way. ;)<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />MarquetaMarqueta (Mar-kee-ta) G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13471332103238738458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692353766608445190.post-80155248344245002152014-11-30T16:29:08.504-05:002014-11-30T16:29:08.504-05:00Linnie, I loved your stroll through the museum!

VERMONT is such a storybook vision of early American art and dream life. What can I say here.....this is all so organic, homespun, sending me back to my youth as I dreamed of living anywhere outside of Los Angeles, a place like this with inspiring art and hillsides and the colorful seasons! <br /><br />Don't you just love the museum's collection of miniatures? I bet the Mousekins just love this....thank you for always taking us on a tour of a grand part of this beautiful country of ours. Tea Rat sends his best!
