I was thinking if I needed to ask you to remove the images because it feels wrong to have such a secret place out on the internet for everyone to see... Now that I've read everyone's comments, it seems that they feel what you did when I took you there and the general consensus is a respectful fascination. It's okay, afterall. (I found a 'new' old house to love! Check it out on my blog!! If you come up here for bike touring, I'd love to show it to you---accessible only by canoe! Yay!)Eerohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05472143513366315584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21171856.post-1157042056535949492006-08-31T12:34:00.000-04:002006-08-31T12:34:00.000-04:00wow...that old house is just amazing. i just love everything about it. i particularly love the floors. they are just beautiful.the thrifty pinehttp://thethriftypine.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21171856.post-1156954151377220902006-08-30T12:09:00.000-04:002006-08-30T12:09:00.000-04:00oh i just adore that house!!!! wow. have a lovely day! xo, mavmavhttp://port2port.visualblogging.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21171856.post-1156896341210752662006-08-29T20:05:00.000-04:002006-08-29T20:05:00.000-04:00ooh, that house, can I just have a replica built here wright now!!

That post was so beautiful and had so much feeling. Very, very soulful. The colors and forms from the photos still leave fuzzy visual impressions in my mind. It was like a miniature novella.

Thank you for sharing these with us.

I love what you wrote about the decay of buildings-I am fascinated by that too,the layers of history & aging.My girls always liked stories about old buildings and love to explore in them when we come across them. I really like how you presented your photo to your swap mate. I like how you thought of a way for her to make it her own.<BR/>And that fig skirt is fantastic- what great fabric.<BR/>Big sigh of satisfaction - what a fine Monday post!Hildynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21171856.post-1156808562386632072006-08-28T19:42:00.000-04:002006-08-28T19:42:00.000-04:00I'd love the green skirt if it's still available! it's hard finding vintage things in my size.
