gingerbread dream home


i think one of oak bluffs gingerbread cottages would suit me quite nicely. the september page of the marthas vineyard calendar on my desk (it's a shared desk) at the nursing home features a beautiful rainbow of these little gems. sadly it's only that one page, so i've been googling them for the past hour or so.


i absolutely love everything about them, the fancy scrollwork, bright colors, hearts, shrubery awnings, the amount of detail.


they remind me of the big lot of precious places doll houses i had as a kid that came with matching giant pastel colored magnetic keys that open the houses up and turn the lights on and off, and move the people and pets around from beneath the floor boards/sidewalks/wherever.
