  2. Some windows and doors can be ugly, like the ones we need to replace. Those were beautiful and I enjoyed the tour!

  9. We recently replaced three 25-year-old doors. The new ones came in fine, but the old ones went out with so many memories. I miss them.

  19. Good morning Cynnie - loved seeing the windows with the little crochet curtains - they remind me so much of Holland. I lived there for 17 years, married a Dutch man. Lovely post, TFS!

  26. This post took me right back to art school, where one of my teachers - and an artist - was famous (at least among his students and in the region) for always photographing doors. He spend half his life looking at doors. We called him "Kees Deur" (his name: Kees, and his last name "Door"...) your post brought back some nice memories! Thanks!

  29. I tend to see doors as an opening-- with possibly a mystery within-- love doors-- especially old weathered ones-- this a beautiful post.

  30. European architecture is so much more interesting than Canadian. I love the little princess doll in the one window.
