A Little About Me
- Bertie
- Aunt May's Cottage, Michigan, United States
- I'm a recently retired Executive Director of a large non-profit organization. I now spend my time on my grandchildren and my hobbies. Those hobbies include gardening, sewing, crafting, graphic arts, painting, cooking, floral crafting, home remodeling and decorating. We purchased an old brick farmhouse in the country three years ago. It was built in 1848 on land purchased by Edward Shanahan in 1834. The 2700 square foot, brick farmhouse has undergone many ruinous renovations over the past 158 years. The last being the "modernization" of the head house and removal of ALL trim and moldings. Our goal is to restore it to it's original splendor and still retain the modern elements necessary for todays living. Also on the grounds is a 1000 square foot guest cottage. It was once the summer home of a beautiful widowed lady called Aunt May. It had no electricity and no running water. After decades of abandonment, we wish to restore Aunt May's Cottage to the jewel we know it can be. Come journey with us on our adventure!

Hi Bertie,
WOW this has been a wonderful series of Victorian Christmas decor. I have had a great time visiting each post.
Love this grand staircase and the angel on the mantel and mirror display.
I also love the tree with candles although I am afraid to do that. Maybe flameless would work.
We had a Swedish daughter for a year and at Christmas the girls did a traditional folk style singing with candles lit on their heads. I was so nervous that one of their heads would go up in flames. LOL!!All was well though!!
Blessings to you sweet friend.
Love, Celestina Marie
Oh the "candles" on the tree in the last picture are just so beautiful!
Wow, love the swag over the mirror on the fireplace.
Gorgeous!!!
Blessings,

Bertie, I love that staircase railing the best, honey. So full of greenery you can't even see the banister. Just gorgeous!

Hello Bertie, I have loved all your posts on Victorian Homes. So many pretty staircases which I love soooo much. That bedroom with the brass beds is just stunning. I'll have to come back and look more tomorrow. I love to look through older magazines too. I have a pile in every room. Thank you for sharing! I'll be back for sure!
Blessings, Shirl
