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!

Oh Bertie wouldn't you just love to move in there? It's simply gorgeous and just my taste. More pics please!
Bertie, John bought me an amish sleigh years ago as I wanted to put it outside like that. But then we hated to think of it getting ruined so we crammed it into my parlor. Had it there many years till I needed the space. Sold it on ebay! Such pretty pics.

Oh the sleigh.......sigh........
Beautiful pics, Bertie. The dining room is my fav in this grouping. I do love the matching topiaries by that front door, too! And those sleighs on that front porch are awesome ~ reminds me of the place where we had my parent's 50th anniv. party ~ they had a large surrey out front.
