im like a religious art piece. grotesque, haunting, full of melodrama and guilt and unsettlingly horny.
I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because “romantic” doesn’t mean “sugary”. It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.

This is so cool- who wants to take tea at Beatrix Potter’s house? Just follow the Peter Rabbit sign.
Isn’t this beautiful? It remains pretty much unchanged.
The current gardeners follow the vegetable gardens described in her books.
Here’s the dollhouse described in her 1904 book, The Tale of Two Bad Mice, in which some cute vermin bust into a doll house and smash every ceramic plate and pastry to bits.
Potter was simply enchanted by the idea of creating whimsy on a smaller scale. In one corner of the house you’ll spot a collection of thimble-sized pots.
A few original pages from her books are on display.
Plus, her writing desk.
Cozy fireplace.
Dining area- notice the little stuffed characters from her books, around.
Lovely table for tea. Could you imagine?
And, her luxurious bedroom. Gorgeous place.

This home in Woodstock, New York, is like an enchanted witch’s house.
The entrance alone, is amazing.
In the large main room, there’s a huge stone fireplace, a table, and a swing.
There’s also a work area in the corner.
A family room with a children’s play area.
I’m guessing this is either a bedroom or a sitting room.
Hallway leading to the various levels.
Look at the kitchen.
Master bedroom with some fashionable wigs and beautiful vintage dressing table.
Cool bath- look at all the vintage fixtures.
Here’s a man cave workshop.
And, there’s a vintage car in the garage.
What a dreamy house.
