KNOCK KNOCK . . .

who's there?

door knockers
door knockers who?


door knockers...you know...
the things before there were doorbells...

they had their humble beginnings as
simple primitive rings nailed to a door



as time went on they became more ornate
and evolved into fanciful figures

they became door jewelry
or doorbling as it is known today ;)

devil


or angel

religous icons

and stylized animals
foxy ones

creepy snake ones


i love the unusual ones like this seahorse


not him...

oh...
and this dragonfly

WITHOUT DOORS

We couldn't enter

do we want to?

Nor could we leave

its pretty here...lets not...

Nor could we keep things out

awww...he's cute...lets not keep him out

Without doors we couldn't keep

little girls like calla from raiding the fridge
(however these doors don't seem to keep her out)




the grandkids away from messes
(aven & calla, my young artists at work)

they're having so much fun sooooo...whatever! Get into the paint closet!

Doors hide clutter

although these mugs are cool - why would you want to hide them?


Doors keep us safe
how easy would it be to pick this lock?

When I was young no one locked their doors - city or country. Life was safer back then of course.

But everyone did have doors.


except Josh & Sasha - still without doors ;)
