Lots of good ideas here.
Speaking of outhouses I've always liked the idea of a cresent moon cut in the door. I've wondered about the hearts though. Why hearts? On dulcimers they make sense. Part of a courting ritual as you sing duets with your lover.

Think I'll ask True-love to cut a moon in the door for me. Won't work inside the house, of course. The moonlight won't shine through.
Cheers, Joy
