Home Sweet Home


A  picture-walk…
visiting the houses that I love.

...come with me, won't you?



beautiful entryway


spider-web door

I love these old Victorian houses ~
they seem familiar to me in some ways…
like I've visited them before ~
…long ago.


ivy & roses…love the witch's hat turret ~

a Grand Painted Ladye ~


slate roof, plum-painted trim work 

 a White Witch's house perhaps?
{I would love to live in it}

my dream house ~
yet, I would want it to be situated right here on our beloved farm place
….that turret would be my sewing room!

 Let's step inside then, shall we?…


perfect front door


 I would light my house with candles and oil lamps only…
{except for one OTT Lamp…I need that to stitch by!!}


candle-drips

I already have my treadle sewing machine….
sewing on it is soothing to me ~


peaceful

...of course my kitchen would include a wood cook stove!
{I've had lots of practice cooking on one already}
my kettle is always hot…
care for a cup of pine-needle tea?


the heart of the home

 my ceilings would be full of my dried herbs…
{they already are!}
waiting to be used in my cooking and other 'practical' uses, too.


beautiful sunlight


poppy-heads drying, bowls of herbs & spices
….gift from Nature.
 my parlor would be cozy ~
filled with cherished things from long ago…


I have a floor lamp similar to the one to the left of the sofa...

 just the perfect place to hang my hat….


hungry?

have a magical day my friends ~
