You are too kind, thank you. We are surrounded by woods and on the edge of a protected wetland so no one can build next to us!

If you would like to see some of the house, it's under the thread "Here's My Country Christmas".

The arrangement I am putting together will be on the jelly cabinet where you will see the green angel.

Your home is just so warm and lovely. I can see it's well thought out, too.
Your collections do fit perfectly, just as you planned.
The tulips would be perfect there.

I like places surrounded by nature.💚

Apparently, I only had a fleeting thought in years past, but I do plan on planting tulip bulbs and daffodil bulbs in the front woods when it's appropriate for our area.

I designed the house at age 28 and had begun collecting antiques at 26. I knew what I wanted when I went home with a friend for the first time and her mother had the big antiques with Victorian headboards on the bed, to the celling. I stepped into that, and my soul just settled. I felt it all over.

I had never liked one piece in our home. or either grandparents except one tufted Victorian love seat, which my grandmother, born in 1900 left me.

": . .my soul just settled."

What a lovely phrase. Deep and artistic. Appreciation of beauty is a wonderful trait and it's easy to see that it's true for you. Fashion, decor, and more.

You could write a book with that title. It would need pictures, of course!

Much appreciated. I have been asked repeatedly to "write a book", lol! Instead, I am now a professional stylist after a career of teaching HS and being dept head.

Oh, they are just beautiful, @ECBG ! Thank you so much for posting them. I didn't realize they'd be so statuesque, and the color is so luscious and contributes to the "real" look of them.

Like @GingerPeach , I so enjoy getting little glimpses of your wonderful, antiques-filled house, that enviable spinning wheel and charming porch giving out on the woods! Lovely, as always.
