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!

Lovely again, but in that 2nd photo I'd be afraid to light the fire, sugar!! LOL That'd set the greenery on fire and all my presents might go up in fire!!! ;-) Kidding. Just gorgeous...all of them.

Bertie,
This is fun! I haven't been in blogland this week between preparing for a family visit and yet another bout with strep throat I have missed much in the way of blogging visits. I am loving the beautiful pictures and look forward to more:).
Blessings,

Yet another terrific set of pics. Wonder what kind of fabric the stockings are made of in the first pic ~ I enlarged but can't tell. That chandelier and ceiling medallion are beautiful. The leaded glass window over the fireplace at the base of the stairs is soooooo.....well, that entire pic just makes me HAPPY!!!! Beautiful!
Big TX Hugs,

Sorry I posted my comments for both day 5 and 6 on post 5. Someone worked so very hard on all these decorations, it's beautiful.
Bertie...everythings is just dreamy! I wish I could get my house inside to look like these..lol! But I don't have an old Victorian so a new/tract home done up my way will just have to do!
LOVE em..keep em coming!

Bertie, I love decorating with fruit. Love the grapes trailing from the chandy in the pic. The fireplace is gorgeous.
Loving all this!
