Historic with a Hint of Glam

Last weekend Jim, Lauren and I went to the 67th Annual Waterford Fair. There were artisans, home tours, crafts, and music. It was a beautiful day. We walked the town taking in the sites. Lauren did the children crafts.

I think we went at prime time because the lines for the home tours were very long. Too long for my 7 year old. When we were walking, I kept noticing these lovely front doors with beautiful flowers and greenery.

This one really caught my eye. I had to walk up to it to take a closer look.

Peacock feathers ~ I love this wreath. Waterford is a wonderful historic town... but it doesn't hurt to glam it up on special occasions :)

Washington Post ~ Going the Distance

The Washington Post Home Section has another great story. I read Home Section almost every Thursday at lunch. Today was no different. They featured Tom Glass's labor of love. Tom Glass owns Glass Construction which specializes in restoration of historic homes (their website is beautiful ~ you may want to check that out too). He found himself a beauty for his own weekend use but had to move it 150 miles. Read the story to see how he did it and more after shots. It is really an amazing feat!

Bravo Tom!
