Simple Pleasure: A Hobby of One's Own

Today, Writing Straight from the Heart is participating in Dayle's Simple Pleasures party on her blog , A Collection of This and That.

Please take a minute to check out all the other simple pleasure entries by clicking on (http://alittleofthisandthat2.blogspot.com/  ).




One of the most fascinating hobbies in the whole world is doll houses and miniatures. It's also majorly addictive which I found out many years ago. A single tiny item leads to another and another and so on.

No doubt, one of the best parts of the hobby is something I've mentioned on this blog before. That is, whenever I want something for my "big" house but cannot afford it, chances are I can get it for my "little" house(s)






Take my four poster bed. Now this has been on my "want" list for several years. Unfortunately, the economy and the demise of my full time job a couple of years ago have made it virtually impossible to buy. Four poster beds, the kind I want, are e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e.

Wouldn't you know, while sorting through some of the boxes of miniatures in the attic, I came across something that had been long forgotten----a four poster bed!



















So, now I have one. While I cannot climb under the shiny bedspread to take a nap, I can feast my eyes on the little posters, pleated bed skirt, and fancy headboards.

That's it in a nutshell. Today's simple pleasure is a sweet little four poster bed!
