Open House Party

-

Hi everyone and welcome to another Open House party!  You will find the link to join the party at the bottom of this post.

Today I have a special treat for you antique lovers and collectors.  Richard at My Old Historic House  has renovated the gorgeous 1845 historic Elgin/Cottrell home to it's original Victorian splendour.  When Richard purchased the home in 2006 it was not even livable but he transformed it into a beautiful home for himself and Ms. Sissy Dog.  Richard also opens the home for tours and rents it for special occasions.

Richard is an antique dealer and has some of the most amazing collections you will ever see and he is extremely knowledgeable about each and every piece.  His collection of Meissen, Dresden and Staffordshire make my heart beat faster.  His collection of Staffordshire dogs...oh my!

This historic home was featured in the July, 2011 issue of Victorian Homes magazine.  So if you want to see more of this stunning home you can visit  My Old Historic House or pickup a copy of the magazine.

Enjoy the Tour.


















Can't you see why Victorian Homes did a twelve page spread on this beautiful home?  Richard, thank you for allowing us into your wonderful home!  If you ever decide to sell the Staffordshire Dogs I get first dibs.
(I can see my husband sweating right now)

On to the party.

Shabby Chic Cottage By The Sea

Today is glorious weather, the sun is shining, the sky is powder blue and I feel Summer might finally be here!  I've just been for a long walk with Poppy down to Mission Bay beach, walked  briskly along the promenade as Poppy pranced along beside me on the sea wall.  We walked through Kohimarama towards St Helier's and back and in between I introduced Poppy to her first time in the sea (a whole new post :))...Poppy is now lying comatose beside me as I'm typing, she is utterly worn out but a very happy little dog. I am full of the joys of sea, sun and sand, so in keeping with how I feel, today I'm sharing a delightful cottage also beside the sea but in the UK in Kent.  This unique home is full of interesting items and decorated 1930's style, don't you think it has a "shabby chic" but nautical feeling? The cottage has it's own private beach and the property is available for film/photo shoots through jj Locations, you will find a link at the end of th...
