She loved it because our great-grandfather had one built and it reminded her of that one. They did have many similar features inside and out.

The kitchen must have been teacup-sink and doll-stove, in my mind, and it took on a Fairy-Tale aura over the years, even when I was a teenager.<br /><br />And Your Home---it has a wonderful history of love and caring and care, and it's plain that you two DID order it---with your Hearts.<br /><br />rachelRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-53167946818976157982012-06-07T07:33:13.707-07:002012-06-07T07:33:13.707-07:00Your porch does scream, "Come and sit for a l...Your porch does scream, "Come and sit for a long, long while." It would be hard to leave. And as I thought about those well made, sturdy 'Sears' houses, I bet a lot of people who live in McMansions, would love a small cottage home right about now.

It is not how much HOUSE a person has as it is what they do with it to make it a home.

My Mum would receive the catalog and then it was our dream book, our wish book and our Christmas Book. Mum would say, "Go through the book carefully and look at every item and print your name above the one Santa might bring". I can even remember writing my letter to Santa and even telling him which page it was on, so his elves wouldn't miss it. For a while as a LITTLE kid, I thought the Sears Catalog came from Santa's workshop and Sears was an outlet for Santa's workshop, for we mailed our letters to Santa there. Little did I know that my Mum's friend that worked in the office made sure Mum got the letters back and then she would go work for Sears as Christmas Staff and had already laid the gifts for her children away. Instead of being paid, her salary went towards Christmas. Imagine trying to do that today?<br />I think the houses are beautiful and would have felt the same way as you. I felt the same way when our local train station was torn down for a hockey rink. The Station had massive marble walls, columns and floors and was sooooo beautiful and although I enjoy hockey, I have never fully appreciated the ugly arena. I guess its called PROGRESS - whatever is in peoples minds, eh - to make a buck.<br />I love your sweet cottage - its as perfect as your Fairy garden and Home. The porch is just full of your personality, in fact, your whole property boasts of it. Seeing PH out there mowing reminds me of a chore today, cause we DO NOT WORK ON WEEKENDS. Must take PJ for her early morning walk, sun is up and its already getting warm - nice change from past 5 days of rain and extremely high winds. Have a great day.
