I'm reading the trilogy by Flora Thompson, and I absolutely love it. It's like having a grandma tell you about how things were back in her day-things that have gone by the way-side. Beautiful memories... First published in 1939-I'm still on the first in the trilogy, 'Lark Rise.' The BBC movie production of this book has me mesmerized by its beauty and the lovely human stories that bring the characters alive. Superbly written and filmed and acted-please don't let this one slip by you...
My little houses are not at all like the ones in the movie series, but I am pretending they are all sea side houses, along some craggy coastline.
(Above) The books I'm reading now-note the book covers are all color-coordinated!
I covered the cardboard and masking tape houses with paperclay and then painted the windows and doors. I'm not sure what I'll do with them-maybe make the seaside I have imagined.

Oh, these little houses! Definitely seaside along a craggy coast and charming and full of stories of lives lived! A bookish inspiration translated to a three dimensional village. Adore them!
Oh, how charming entrance, interesting, too.
Books give us a wonderful new world to enjoy.
Your paper art is fascinating 🌷💗
Oh Wow I am in love with your little houses-I will check out these books for sure-will check out bbc too and see if I can find the show.
I love your walk way through the hedge. we have a wisteria entrance similiar to this at the woods house-and always loved it Happy Wednesday
I always enjoy visiting you here, and I can always bet on getting inspired. I will, for sure, go looking for the BBC movie. I love your little houses!
Ohhh very nice neighborhood. LOL The houses look wonderful.
Love the houses. I loved those books and films, too. Have a great week, Valerie
I found the trilogy as a kindle book-thanks again
Your little houses are adorable! England, then you might like the blog, Saltairedaily.blogspot aka Salt & Light.
An archway of greenery entrance is very welcoming! What can I say about your little houses?! They were surely a bit tedious to create and paint, but I know what it feels like to be driven by an idea you are excited about. They have an old time European flavor and are totally charming!!!
Oh I had such a nice visit. Like you I adore seeing the old English countryside. I would so love to visit there. Your houses are amazing. I know you will find a perfect setting to place them. Smile spring is here. Hugs!
Lovely little houses. You could do a village scene. I also loved watching 'lark rise to Candleford' on TV when it came out.
I love your houses. So charming and well done. Must be a lot of work too. I loved the series about Lark Rise. There are some great series from England. Maybe you will enjoy Cranford too? Happy Easter 🐣 All the best from Lone
