house and home

My daughter moved to a snow-less part of Japan about eight years ago. Now that she doesn't have to deal with the reality of living with snow for six months of the year, she gets a touristy thrill from brief visits to Hokkaido during the winter holidays. She took this photo of our house a couple weeks ago, and it became the inspiration for the first of the etegami in my new series of whimsical houses.

postscript: Bozena Wojtaszek of The Textile Cuisine sent me a wonderful quilted postcard which she says was inspired by my verbal and visual descriptions of our house in the snow. Check out her blog and her Etsy shop. You'll love them!! The card is in my mailart gallery blog.
