~EMILIE BARNES' LOVELY OLD HOME~

This is the beautiful drive leading to my daughters home.

This is the front of the little cottage.


The entry has a little dutch door. I love the stained glass. The rooster picture you see on the side is a mosiac piece of artwork. I should have taken a closeup of it for you. I will try to remember to do that.


This home is famous..and you can find it in Emilie Barnes' "Welcome Home" book if you are fortunate enough to own one of the very old copies. Oddly enough I bought my daughter the book The "Twelve Teas's of Christmas" the year she bought the home...not knowing that she would actually be buying it that very week. I was stunned and delighted when I found out! Emilie has been kind enough to write Mary a lovely letter inside the book "Welcome Home" and that book has now become a treasure. If you own an old copy of the book, my daughters address is inside the front cover as it is in "The Twelve Tea's of Christmas." The home has now been done over beautifully but stays the same in most ways. Nothing of the home has been compromised except some of the floors that were in very bad condition. The upstairs floors are original. More tomorrow.. if time permits.
I will take you inside and show you around. We will walk through the entire home and even peek into closets if you wish. ~smile! Two of the bathrooms were posted for me on Shelia's NOTE SONG but there are actually three more bathrooms to be seen! YOU will love them all. I know Shelia would have done a much better job presenting them..but I must grow up sometime.
Have wonderful weekend. If you can think of something you would like to see..just ask and I will take a picture of it. I would have posted more but it has gotten too late and my cold is still hanging on. Hugs..
