You, my friend, are truly living as a Victorian would. <br />It is too bad that a good cook is hard to come by (I see you do that yourself - I have the same problems)<br />but the beauty of the accommodations at the table are what count most as well as the spirit of hospitality.<br /><br />I really appreciate the picture of "cleaning up". At least you can do it in a kitchen which is beautifully decorated!<br /><br />Cassandra<br />http://clmt-an-edwardian-victorian.blogspot.com/CLMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563405129619616495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-8320792034776430462013-02-05T13:47:20.549-08:002013-02-05T13:47:20.549-08:00What a beautiful home you have!

I am so glad you stopped by so I could visit you - I always have such a good time when I am here. Your readers obviously love you and I am so happy to be able to wrap my arms around you. Thanks so much for the kind words - and the kind words you wrote about my article. It is very easy writing/shooting when there is eye-candy. :-)<br /><br />You are a treasure and your dinner party (boxed dessert and all) is most likely be a dinner that most will envy just because you were present. <br /><br />Lots of hugs<br />ElizabethElizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-46624853145031479732013-02-04T02:38:52.967-08:002013-02-04T02:38:52.967-08:00The rooms are so elegant then out
