Amazing post, Ciara. I love it all. The beach scene and the aquamarine sky with the sithouetles. The Vermeer-like interior with the gingerbread men. I like the plate :) The details in the beautiful old house. The little fella eating cake in the balloon secluded corner and running up the country lane with his new neighbour (and it's hard to run in wellies). What fun to have friends and cousins next door!
