UNDER THE BIG TOP...

MOONLIGHT PARTY UNDER THE BIG TOP...

WELCOME...STEP INSIDE PLEASE...

Please visit Wendy by clicking here...she will give you a ticket to the circus! Did you stop at the fortune tellers booth before you leave...her name is Madam Lasagna. She has traveled the world and no one really knows where she is from...

When I was a growing up in Bavaria I often got to go to the circus with my Opa when it came to town...Germany has many famous circus'...Knie, Hagenbeck and Zirkus Krone. There are no three rings...only one so you never miss anything.

my favorite act was always one with horses in it...white horses to be sure!

These have been some of my favorite circus posters I have collected...

so step under my big top and see the amazing sights that will dazzle your mind!

through the fiery hoop jumps the king of beasts

the silly monkeys will make you laugh

the elephants will astound you with their grace

and the best act of all will be the horses!

Under the big top of the tin I keep these precious horses...they have enchanted me since I was in the third grade

they do not mind living in a circus cookie tin

as long as they can come out and play sometime...

the circus comes to town...

this trio of ATC was made my my friend Penny...

here she is with her husband Sir Knight...they are both real clowns and have delighted hundreds with their antics

I hope you have enjoyed the show...

MY PAGE FOR KARLA NATHAN'S FAIRY BOOK SWAP...

I always look forward to Karla's swaps each summer! I found my picture in a vintage alphabet fairy book I have. The kissing fairies were the letter X... just delightful and I had to use them. I spend hours gathering the crepe paper for the edge and painting the wings but what a labor of love...I love my page! The fairy girl's wing folds up to reveal a beautiful shimmery paper underneath. There are so many little delicate touches that you can only see in person. I believe in faeries!
