Gotta love a house, or two, with a purple picket fence. In fact purple looks like a popular color in the community. I love places like this so I'm looking forward to more photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors. Great post.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and Ginny coordinated your post today. Very colorful and fun. I love that art community, they always have fun places where they live and work. I guess if you can funky up old furniture, then why not houses.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun post.
Oh, what fun! I love all these cute little cottages. But it will be something to see all decorated for Christmas!
ReplyDeletewhat an awesome place to visit...very colorful...love the Rooster...need that for my backyard...you think Rooster would be jealous???lol...can't wait to see more..
ReplyDeleteOur downtown is a mini-version and not quite as concentrated, but I love the fanciful and colorful choices in paint and accessories in your village and our town.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Christmas pix, sans snow I presume!
ah, yes. the florida colors come out to play. :)
ReplyDeleteMan I love those houses. I've always liked color and could totally live in a house painted like any of these.
ReplyDeleteSo much color and so much fun! I bet it's so pretty at Christmas time. Looking forward to more. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!

ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, Yours and Ginny's blog posts today are so similar... It's all about what can be done with some paint... The old houses are adorable with all of their colors...

YIKES, WHY, WHY, WHY have you not posted this before??? This is one of my favorite posts of yours ever, I LOVE the houses!! And again we have posted the same things today!!!! All we need is to get MY furniture in YOUR houses! It is the same colors and everything!! We rock!! Your header is amazing. If I didn't have a bad knee, how I would love to buy and live in that big house!!! I love the big rooster! Do the artists live in these houses, or are they the studios? How many houses? I want to see ALL of them, and ALL of the art that's outside. Do you go at Christmas? So glad your hen and chicks arrived so good in the mail, that is a surprise. They are so CUTE!
ReplyDeleteOur house really needs painting!!! Ya think??? And I want that purple fence as well... Just while they are at it, a little extra to throw in.
ReplyDeleteJust looking at those house makes me smile. They have a whimsical look.

Fascinating homes and so colorful. What a fun place to browse. Photographers paradise...
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I visited a place in southern Ontario that was painted like this but the weather wasn't that great that day. Now I want to go back on a sunny day. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this post. Also learned that I should read yours in order they were posted when I've missed a few. All makes better sense that way. Silly me :)
ReplyDeleteI love all these houses. Great photography.
ReplyDeleteOh this is awesome. I enjoyed all of them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all the fences. I can
not even find any more different fences but you have supplied enough for 12 weeks of entries. Lucky you.
