He is holding up well. I didn't even know of the need for polyurethane on painted tin. So my wise men have not held up as well. They are dimmed a bit but they still go up on our tree every year. And Tabor is right.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369350929348290480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-75508630418912763232013-12-12T03:45:06.373-08:002013-12-12T03:45:06.373-08:00I love crib scenes but I really must try to get a ...I love crib scenes but I really must try to get a new stable.<br />A cigar box isn't quite right although it is wooden.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-59641053676011418202013-12-11T14:47:03.003-08:002013-12-11T14:47:03.003-08:00It's fun acquiring new decorations to make you...It's fun acquiring new decorations to make your place more festive.<br /><br />In answer to your question (at my blog) about our proximity to a big city.. we're about 3+ hours from Toronto which is about as big as city gets in Canada. But we're also about 20+ minutes from a town with a hospital which was my criteria when looking for a place - that we be within a half hour of a place with a hospital. I'm good enough with that.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-10435791388489490202013-12-11T14:46:28.160-08:002013-12-11T14:46:28.160-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-72840278010413723752013-12-11T03:44:09.476-08:002013-12-11T03:44:09.476-08:00I reread the comment I wrote yesterday, and decide...I reread the comment I wrote yesterday, and decided I must be autistic….completely off on a tangent about art. I love your living room and am constantly amazed (and envious) that you can totally transform it and have it look so beautiful. I've been trying to set up my Santa collection on the hutch, and can't get them arranged in a way that pleases me. I need the artistic touch!!

I am too far left to appreciate excess and too right to appreciate decadence. <br /><br />I have to confess some art weighs me down, although some of it is beautiful. <br /><br />These days, I am being drawn more and more to modern art. Not all of it mind you…mostly the 1940s and 1950s stuff, i..e Piet Mondrian, etc. <br /><br />Although many would disagree, I still like the Pre-Raphaelites, followed by "some" impressionists, i.e, Turner, Constable and the English Impressionists. Many French impressionists are boring…..<br /><br />I like your art.
