What is this? A pack of hounds hanging out in the front garden ~ No it is Dusty Pearl, Shadow and Wulf who is Nigel's black German Shepherd ~ The fall weather is lovely in the garden ~

Lucas keeps watch over Vulture's Roost, he sees all ~

Are those tears? Still no word from the Count ~ how could he do this to me?
No one could leave a beauty like this standing at the alter, could they?

Will the Count show? Should Hattie cast a spell? Where is the Count?
So many questions ~ What should Hattie do?
Who ever gives Hattie the best advice will win a little prize ~ just leave a comment on this post ~

The story of Simone's cabin ~

Simone's cabin was originally built as a Christmas decoration out of small cedar logs in the early 60's. It was closed in on all sides with small windows and a tiny door. The cabin had Christmas lights inside. A good friend was cleaning out her Mother's house and out buildings when this was found. Knowing I had doll houses and liked small things she asked if I would like it, you know I said yes ~
I took the roof off and cleaned out the old lights and dirt, the floor was log so I ripped that out too. My sweet hubby sawed off the front so I could work on the inside, he found scrap wood for the floor and metal for the roof. I then chinked the logs with Das air dry clay, I tried paper clay first but didn't know at the time you needed to add glue to the walls to make it stick. So what to do with this log cabin? Back then in the days before Harry Potter and spooky minis I thought a hunting and fishing lodge would be good. So for years I tried to do the hunting lodge and was never happy with it. For one thing all my goofy camo wearing dolls who lived there just drank beer, played pool and told fish stories. The only good thing was the snake coming up out of the kitchen sink ~ The floors are covered in paper I printed out, at some point I may redo them as I don't really like them. I built the fire place and chimney with wood and covered it in egg carton stones, I do like it still so I guess I did that right. I have learned so many things over the years of crafting miniatures, my first doll house was put together with hot glue LOL. I don't know why I decided to move Simone into the cabin but I'm glad I did, it just seems right and I now love the cabin.

I will post some pictures of the outside of the cabin one of these days, there is a bear climbing out of the chimney too ~
