I too,like Cathy, will love to hear of the history of your home and what you have done in it!!<br /> Just only yesterday we were so very fortunate to meet a Great-Great Grandson of the builder of our 1853 brick home! He was visiting the area for a class reunion, and he so graciously stopped by and brought a copy of their Great Grandmother's hand written memories of the history of this home!! Hubby and I read it yesterday and are still bathing in the glow of being able to know the stories and memories!! His sister wants to visit next year (they live in Oregon on the opposite side of the continent we are in N.Y. State) and share pictures and stories!! I am thrilled to say the least!!! <br /> Thanks for another wonderful posting!!<br /> Warmth , hugs, and many blessings, LinnieThe BUTT'RY and BOOK'RYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589576036037068551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129839050019755020.post-7537117886729324592014-09-08T03:38:45.662-07:002014-09-08T03:38:45.662-07:00That would be wonderful, Michelle!

I'd get up each morning and head for the old kitchen, now dining room, in the lower level of the house and sit there with my coffee and journal absorbing the "life" of all that had transpired over the 250 years someone had lived their life there.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129839050019755020.post-68478302025225557072014-09-08T03:32:27.722-07:002014-09-08T03:32:27.722-07:00I try to surround myself of time gone by's.

While we were selling our old house we did the cottage up to a position were we could move in. We still have some work to do but the hard work is done. The cottage had not been touched for years & was empty when we bought it. We just love it so much & could see through all the work. Our son Harry said you like a challenge.<br />Our cottage is called The Hollies & was built before 1741, it is timber framed with a thatched roof & then tiles on top. It reminds me of Hilltop inside in so many ways. It was built by the church & they rented it out until they sold it around 1910. We have all the old documents dating back to 1741, I will do a post about it one day.<br />Fondly MichelleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751286443138392564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129839050019755020.post-27742745365318648442014-09-08T02:39:35.526-07:002014-09-08T02:39:35.526-07:00Thank you for the tour, Michelle.
