More Hobbity...

Of course, coming across those photos yesterday set me off on another safari for hobbity houses....
And I found this!

A romantic engineer, who outside his businesslike, professional exterior, must be just dying to find someone to build a house for! My interpretation, as I certainly would be, if I were in his shoes!
(and as I also have a dream of building one...)

Of Hobbits

Don't you just love this window?

I came across these today of "Hobbiton", the film set in Matamata, NZ being rebuilt.
There are tours during this rebuilding, up to the actual filming that should be starting at the end of this year.
If a Tolkien fan and in that part of the world, it would certainly be interesting to visit.

Bag End and neighbor

Hobbiton coming back...
this part of the set had burned down at the end of filming

Can I go in, please?

Hobbity

My sister-in-law asked me to design a Hobbit hole, or house, for her.
Wow!
Yippee!

But nooooo...
not exactly a house, but a house logo, for her medicinal herb business.

After the let down...  
Yiiippee! I get to draw some hobbity-bitty houses!

Off to googleland I went for images to refresh my memory...

One of the absolutely delicious things I found was this:

Simon Dale's site is full of scrumptious photos of the building of his hobbity-ish home.
Below are a few...

And he even has some hobbitesesss to go with the house!
