Even though flying is much quicker, a voyage is a lot more civilized. Ha. We enjoyed the leisurely pace of our days and getting spoiled wasn't too bad either.

The Bakerhouse is charming, and I love the brick in her kitchen. It reminds me so much of the brick my mom had in her kitchen growing up. I really like the hanging copper pots as well. The gardens are lovely, so green and groomed. That desk has such a beautiful wood. That was sweet that she played the piano for her family. The red and white quilt is so charming. My sister quilts, so she would appreciate all the detail that went into this quilt. <br /><br />This was very interesting, Martha Ellen, and I'm going to send Nel over here, as she's a book lover and has probably read some of her books. <br /><br />~Sheri<br /><br />ps love that quote "there is nothing like staying at home for real comfort"........that is so true. : ) Red Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-45943327033373727122017-07-19T16:12:55.121-04:002017-07-19T16:12:55.121-04:00Jane Austen's home is so touching and lovely, ...Jane Austen's home is so touching and lovely, Dawn.
