About Me
- Mrs. Blandings
- Kansas City, MO, United States
- Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House is a charming 1940's movie starring Cary Grant and Myrna Loy and a very pretty little Connecticut farm house. I'm posting here from my own dream house. If you're in the neighborhood, please stop by.

Is she a woman, or a machine? How does she create such beauty so quickly? I love it! Do you know is she is Dutch - the last name? My Dad is Dutch that's why I ask.
By the way, I was drooling over the Country Mouse post. The "special factor" comes though the photos!
Heather
Wow! What a talent! This is soooo charming!
Overflowing with talent - I'm hoping she will choose me to be president of her ever-expanding fan club.
