Old Victorian House at Christmas
Incredible traditional house in a small New England village
This charming old house seems to step right out of a storybook, but it actually exists - right across the street from my sister's house in a small New England village. Every time I visit, this beautiful place becomes the subject of my camera again. I cannot resist it's charm. This photo was captured at Christmas several years ago. It was a magical time and made for a magical picture which makes us think of Christmases past.
Snowbound Cottage
This sweet little doll house was a kids' play house across the street from where I grew up
This adorable little cottage was across the street from the house where I grew up. It sat apart by itself on the property of a large old rambling home. My memory of it is that it was a play house for the neighborhood kids. Pretty fancy for a playhouse, I wonder now if it had ever been intended to be used for something else. This photo, taken in winter when it was buried in snow after a major blizzard, brings back fond memories of a simple and carefree childhood.
The Old Well House at Christmas
The old well house at my Gramma's house in Maine is still there!
This place is super special and I want to share its story with you. This is a photo of the old well house in front of my Gramma's house in the woods of Maine. I have so many memories of visiting my Gram during all times of the year.Going there for Christmas was amazing, and with weather like this, I'm sure the driving was a challenge for my parents! The old well house is still there - and I am thrilled to report that Gramma's old house is still in the family, owned by my cousin Phyllis, who gave me this photo and permission to use it.
Snow Storm in Maine
There's no place like the woods of Maine for a real White Christmas
Nostalgia overcomes us looking at this photo, taken deep in the woods of Maine during a blizzard by my cousin Ted. If you grew up in Cold Country, this beautiful photo may make sing "Dreaming of a White Christmas" too!
Holidays by Candlelight
What is it about candlelight? Candles bring such a feeling of peace, relaxation. We are reminded to slow down, that some of the best things in life really are free. The stress of the world seems to melt away as we sit and relax by candle light. These candle photos were taken on the patio of a house where we used to live. The lantern was a lovely gift from a friend and lives today on our city balcony. The other photo is just of a collection of little candles on our garden wall.
Traditional Christmas Designs from Arty Abstract Wreath
From the artist in the family, generally known for his abstracts, comes this charming Christmas wreath, pretty abstract by itself, but so useful for a variety of interesting Christmas designs. Here it is used against a very arty background of Christmas red swirls, and a "Merry Christmas" message.
