<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Christmas is a time of miracles. It is a time when we stop and reflect on the little things in life and quickly realize that they are actually the big things. Christmas miracles come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The miracles of Christmas can be seen in the joy of a child’s eyes, the first flake of December snow, or the loving embrace of a friend or family member. The miracles of Christmas are all around us, if we just take a moment to open our eyes and hearts and see them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> We here at A Primitive Place & Country Journal magazine believe in miracles and hope to inspire you during this holiday season with six perfectly decorated primitive/colonial homes that bring a sense of wonder and joy to our lives. As you tour these homes, you will see why each was chosen for this issue, and we hope that they will encourage you to bring a little more warmth and beauty into your own home, which will spill over into your life.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> We hope that you enjoy the sneak peeks from this issue. We also hope that you will continue to be inspired by the homeowners, houses, and articles that we bring to you with each issue. We thank you for your support and wish all of you a miraculous Christmas filled with treasured memories, quiet reflection, and most of all, love. Merry Christmas and happy 2017! </span></span><br />

The cover of our winter/holiday 2016 issue features the home of Karen Comita-Morgan of Reading, Massachusetts. ~ Modern Day “Self -Taught Genius” ~ With Williamsburg as her inspiration, Karen Comita-Morgan has transformed a 1927 “witch” house into her colonial “someday” dream home. </div>

Karen’s talents shine at Christmastime with preparations starting in September. She designs and creates all of the wreaths, garlands and trees throughout the house, inside and out, using real boxwood and pines as well as artificial greenery and fruits. Her front entrance was featured in yesterday's sneak peek. </div>

But through a series of moves and changes, it has become their dream-come-true home – built and filled with love.<br /><br />“We love our home and hope it reflects a welcoming and inviting feeling,” says Nancylee. “One that says ‘Please come in and sit by the fireplace with a mug of hot coffee and chat for a while. Next time pack your bags and plan to stay for a while!’”</span><div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A gleaner is someone who gathers something in small pieces slowly and carefully. Gleaner is the perfect word to describe Margie Krieg of Loudonville, Ohio because she has spent her life carefully gathering things, experiences, and knowledge from the people who have been placed in her path. It is through this gleaning that she has become the person she is today.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Home Feature #3: A Folk Art Enthusiast ~ A Tinley Park, Illinois homeowner has taken her childhood love of collecting and turned it into a passion for contemporary American folk art which she uses to decorate her colonial-style inspired home. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When advising other collectors, homeowner Rebecca Dickenscheidt says, “Pursue your passion and decorate to fit what you love.” She continues by saying, “My decorating tip would be ‘carpe diem’ (seize the day)! If you see something that makes your heart skip a beat, grab it. Otherwise, chances are it will not be there when you come back.”</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Home Feature #4: Home is Where Your Story Begins ~ A Sunbury, Ohio homeowner who has a great love of history has finally found the home that completes her soul and gives her the opportunity to be part of the rich history of the house, which was built in 1817.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story of a person’s life cannot be told in one sitting. It is a series of events that unfolds at the determined time in the determined order and only makes sense when we look back on them. When we do look back, it seems as if those events are so obvious and everything seems perfectly clear and makes sense. It is then that we can see how we reached the destination that we were always meant to reach, and we truly understand why each event happened in the way it did. Amy Welsh’s story is very much like this. Her story is of a series of events that led her down a path that would lead her to what her soul had been searching for. “I must admit, I did not grow up loving antiques, primitives or otherwise,” says the Sunbury, Ohio homeowner, “but, I did always have a strong love of history and a deep devotion to heritage.”</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Karen Comita-Morgan was four years old, her family took a trip to Williamsburg, Virginia: it was her first taste of what would become her obsession. She especially loved the holidays, and as she watched “Christmas in Connecticut,” “White Christmas,” and “A Christmas Carol,” she would study every scene to see how each room was decorated.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Home Feature #6: The Keeper of Christmas Past - With more than 1,400 Santas in his Highland, New York home, Walter Marquez has a collection for the ages – and he’s not done yet!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For more than 30 years, Walter Marquez has been collecting Santas. Ceramic, plastic, wood, fabric, paper – they are all in his collection. His favorites are the hard plastic Santas from the 1950s and 1960s – his childhood era. “It’s getting more difficult to find good old ones,” Walter says. “And I don’t want to spend a lot of money on them. That’s the challenge.” He doesn’t remember his first – he knows he bought a few in his 20s – and then he started “acquiring crazily” when he bought his first house. Today an antiques dealer living in a 1770s home, Walter is still collecting. “I’m always on the hunt,” he says. “Dealer friends know my addiction and bring them to me. I sometimes lose track of what I have and what I don’t, but I buy them anyway. If I buy a duplicate, it goes into the shop!”</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">we welcomed Betsy Heck to our staff</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">as Contributing Writer! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Armed with a Bachelor of Journalism degree </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">from the University of Missouri,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Betsy set out into the world to one day </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">become the first female editor of Sports Illustrated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Living in St. Louis, however, magazine opportunities </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">were few and far between and the world wide web </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">had not yet become the you-can-work-from-anywhere </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">force it is today. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So Betsy embarked on what would become a </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">25+ years career in marketing/advertising. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Today she’s thrilled to marry her first love, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">writing, with her passion for antiques </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">(first as a buyer, then as a dealer) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">as she joins the team at A Primitive Place.</span></div>

<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Summer vacation seems to fly by more and more quickly as the years roll by and this summer was no exception. However, this summer was a little more special because I had the opportunity to visit and photograph four wonderful houses for upcoming issues of <em>A Primitive Place & Country Journal </em>magazine!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">So, like many of us used to do in school, here is my report on what I did over my summer vacation! = )</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The first place I visited this summer was the home of Andrea, Terry, and their son Johnathan Moore's house. Their beautiful home is located in McKenzie, Tennessee. I was made to feel very welcomed at the Moore house and I truly enjoyed my day there. The Moore's have taken a modern day home and turned it into a primitive paradise proving that one does not have to live in a period home to achieve the primitive look that we all love. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.</span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I know that those pictures only gave you a small glimpse into the Moore's wonderful home so make sure you do not miss the upcoming issue in which their home will appear.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The second home I visited this summer was the home of Gail and Larry Reeder. Their home is located in Scottsville, Kentucky. The Reeders live in a beautiful saltbox, so you can imagine my excitement as I drove into their driveway. Gail and Larry were both very nice people and welcomed me into their home with opened arms. They were the perfect examples of southern hospitality and prepared a wonderful lunch for me to enjoy while I was at their home. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I truly could have spent all day at the Reeder home just looking around and getting ideas for my future saltbox. However, I was there to do a job, so that is what I did. Take a look around the Reeder home.</span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just wait until you see this house in all its glory in an upcoming issue! You will not be disappointed.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The third home I visited this summer was the home of Rich and Jean Clinch. Their wonderful saltbox (yes another one! I must have a pretty strong heart to survive seeing two saltboxes in one summer...LOL!) is located in Dunlap, Illinois. Not only do they live in my dream house, but they have my dream kitchen. They recently put a David T. Smith kitchen in their house. It was wonderful to see one of these famous kitchens in person.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Both Rich and Jean are retired teachers, so I felt right at home in their beautiful house. </span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just wait until you see their kitchen in an upcoming issue. I promise you, it will be love at first sight!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The fourth and final home I visited this summer was the home of Betsy Heck. Her beautiful home is located in Eureka, Missouri. Betsy has filled her home with some of the most wonderful collections that I have ever seen. She has an enormous collection of stone fruit, and it was wonderful to see all the different varieties that she had collected. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Betsy gave me full access to her home and provided the best background music for me to work by! I invite you to take a quick look at the Heck homestead.</span></strong><br />

Yesterday the skies opened up and it poured here in central MA but that didn’t stop Audrey and I from making a trip to a nearby town for a photo shoot. We braved the water logged roads and headed southeast to a wonderful Gambrel style home. The homeowner has done a remarkable job of removing the 80’s style floors, woodwork and wallpaper and adding the details we all love in a prim home. Of course I can’t show you all of those now, but I can give you some sneak peeks into her decorating style ~ for the rest you’ll have to watch for an upcoming issue!! </strong></font></p> <p><strong><font size="4" face="Papyrus"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-sbZRCFWvKxg/T8u5ljg2zgI/AAAAAAAACPA/TUEn6q9rphM/s1600-h/049%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="049" alt="049" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KvKo6aAqCBE/T8u5mOdS6JI/AAAAAAAACPI/7fJMtMyFdg8/049_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="375" height="281"></a></font></strong></p> <p><strong><font size="4" face="Papyrus"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_3D0Q4UhGzs/T8u5muFvYXI/AAAAAAAACPQ/TjaLp__wdo8/s1600-h/054%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="054" alt="054" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Y4-R3sJMTGE/T8u5nfagp2I/AAAAAAAACPY/25PqPndljzk/054_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="375" height="281"></a></font></strong></p> <p><strong><font size="4" face="Papyrus"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-JDK6YcUPhEQ/T8u5nzziU2I/AAAAAAAACPg/R-V0XuKqZCU/s1600-h/075%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="display: block;

My first photo shoot of the new year was clear & quite cold while I packed up my car for the short ride to an early Dutch Colonial, here in the historic Hudson Valley. I stepped inside to find the carefully renovated home sparkling with wonderful Christmas decorations! It was warm & inviting as were the homeowners Robert & Eddie & their friendly pup McDuff. There were so many special treasures that filled the home, some lovingly crafted or received as gifts, others perfectly selected antiques. I set right to work, while my hosts placed some of these treasures in just the right places. We talked about the abundance of early Dutch homes in our area, many of which Robert has had the pleasure of seeing & has a wealth of knowledge about. Before I knew it, it was time to say goodbye. What an honor & special treat to be in a home with such history! Thank you Robert & Eddie for sharing your beautiful home with me & all the readers of APP & CJ! Here are some tidbits of what I saw for you to enjoy. </strong></font> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-1YlsmMUGbDo/TwT9PP2IiNI/AAAAAAAAByk/88q9ulFZcus/s1600-h/image%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none;

<div style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The Gumdrop Bush</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> <span><span style="font-size: large;">by F. Hendrix</span></span></span></div><span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> Many Christmases ago in a tiny community of folks in southern Georgia, lived my little family of humble folks in a humble home that was cold but adequate. We didn't have much, but we did have each other and we did share the true meaning of what the Christmas season was all about. Mama always made a huge fruitcake in an old warped dishpan. It was filled with fruit of every color and hue; pecans from our grove and baker's ingredients that she would horde for months anticipating this special day. We always had a monstrous bowl of ambrosia. Living near Florida, we were blessed to have citrus on hand. In it were all manners of fruit, juices, nuts and coconut, my favorite.</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> It wasn't always easy for a family who lived from week to week, but we had love and we had one ritual that I always looked forward to. It was the adorning of the Hawthorne bush. Some folk called it a Hawk Haw but no matter, it was a branch from a very thorny bush that grew wild in the swamps there. It had tiny, brilliant orange fruit that we ate as soon as they turned. Mama would send me to get a branch. I remember vividly tearing my arms to shreds with the thorns, but it didn't matter, it was a job that I anticipated and my part would go on so that we could all share in the joy of the treat.</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> Mama was a simple woman with a hearty laugh and beautiful eyes that would slant when she smiled. She got as much joy from this decoration as anyone. She would take the branch and rinse it off at the well, then she would plant it in a mason jar of black Georgia dirt and wrap aluminum foil that she had washed, folded and saved for just such an occasion. Next, she would find an old piece of red curly ribbon from many Christmases ago, carefully ironing it smooth and wrapping it around the rim of the jar and into a beautiful bow. Now it was time for the gumdrops. Spiced gumdrops - oh the joy of Christmas- was the candy of Christmas to me! Each thorn on the bush would hold one gumdrop and when finished she would proudly display it in a prominent place in our home.</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> As the candies were eaten, she would lovingly replenish them. Everyone who came to our house went straight for the gumdrop bush to admire its beauty and to celebrate the Savior's birth in this season. Life was slow then, the simple decorated bush was glorious and brought our thoughts back to the simplicity of Christ's coming.</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> Mama went to live with Jesus many years ago and another gumdrop bush has not been erected until today, December 13, 2011. Here it stands, anhomage to my beautiful mother and her love for her son, a tribute to the Savior who bore the thorns on His head and whose sweet blessings are represented by the candy on...The Gumdrop Bush.</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Merry Christmas to you all and blessings beyond your wildest imaginations.</span></span><br />

It sure was a busy fall season for photo shoots for me, but it is ending just at the right time! I don’t have another shoot until spring and after the very hectic past 3 months, that works for me. I love my job ~ meeting so many wonderful homeowners, seeing such amazing homes, traveling the by ways, highways and back roads with a dear friend to do just that, but it doesn’t end when I pack up my gear and head home. There is a lot to it once I get home from a shoot. I still have so many photos to sort through from the fall and now I will enjoy doing that work on the cold winter days after Christmas in the comfort of my home. The cameras, lights, umbrellas, tripods and extension cords will stay packed away for awhile! </strong></font></p> <p align="center"><strong><font size="4" face="Papyrus">For this shoot, Audrey and I stayed pretty close to home, heading to Sutton, MA. Once inside Cheryl’s home, it was if we had taken a step back in time!

My trip took me thru the scenic Catskill Mountains of New York, only a hop, skip and a jump from my own home. Janice and John greeted me warmly as I stepped into their beautiful place all decorated for Christmas! John lit the home’s 3 fireplaces while Janice showed me around and I unpacked my equipment. There was lots to do so I got busy while Janice eagerly told me about all the changes she and John had made to their home over the years. Lunch time came before I knew it and Janice treated me to a delicious soup, bread and 2 delectable desserts set out on her beautiful kitchen table. Christmas trees were lit and decorated all over the house, with Santas peeking at me from around each corner! As the sun was setting and I was packing up, Janice and John presented me with a beautiful wooden candle sconce that they had made! I was so touched! It was a great day and so wonderful to meet 2 new friends! Please enjoy a few sneak peeks into this gorgeous home!</strong></font> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hT24cxe0e5I/Tt9wCDt0nrI/AAAAAAAABng/ePn2xw-QeiE/s512/frontdoor6.jpg?imgmax=800"><img style="background-image: none;

font-size: large;"><b>The Four Freedoms: The Bountiful Blessings of Thanksgiving</b></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;"><b>By Dan Weaver </b></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;"><b> As Thanksgiving Day draws near, we all find ourselves busily preparing for one of the biggest meals of the year. We are making sure that the table is perfectly set, that the food is perfectly prepared, and that the house is perfectly decorated. Despite the work that Thanksgiving brings, we find ourselves looking forward to spending the day with family and friends. With all the hustle and bustle of the day, we may find ourselves neglecting the true reason we celebrate this wonderful day. We all know the story of the Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock. We all know that the Indians helped the Pilgrims survive by teaching them to grow and harvest crops. Unfortunately, over the years, many of us may have forgotten that there have been times during our country’s long history when Thanksgiving Day was not easily celebrated. These brave generations of the past were able to celebrate Thanksgiving during times of war, poverty, and great loss. We could learn a lot from these past generations and the stories they could tell us. These people fought and often died to ensure that the freedoms they were fighting for would be possible for the generations of people who would come after them.</b></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;"><b> When I think about freedom, I often recall a very famous artist named Norman Rockwell. Norman Rockwell is known for depicting life through his art. His art reminds us of a simpler time, while reminding us of the important things in life. Norman Rockwell painted the Four Freedoms in 1943. These were four separate oil paintings that were reproduced and were featured on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post during four consecutive weeks in 1943. Rockwell derived his paintings from the January 6, 1941 State of the Union Address given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. These four freedoms are freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.</b></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Freedom of Speech: </i>Many of us take this freedom for granted. We forget that in a lot of nations, people do not have the right to speak their minds. Many times if these people do speak out they can be imprisoned or worse. If we disagree with the leaders of our nation, we can express our disagreement openly without fear of retaliation. Without freedom of speech our country would not be what it is today. We would be stifled and not be able to express ourselves and lead the lives we choose to live.</b></span></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Freedom of Worship:</i> This is one of the reasons why the Pilgrims left England. They were being forced to practice a religion they found objectionable. They could not worship openly according to their own beliefs. Now, we can all enjoy this freedom no matter what our particular religious beliefs are. We can find a church that believes the way we do and enjoy the fellowship of others who share our beliefs without fear of persecution.</b></span></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Freedom from Want:</i> We all know people who go without. We all know people who struggle to make it from day to day. Most of us are blessed enough to be able to make a living and provide for our families and still get to indulge ourselves with a passion for decorating and collecting. Even though there are many people in this country who are living a meager existence, there are programs developed by our country to help them work out of the poverty that they are currently living in. In most countries, these people would have no hope and would live in poverty for generations. In our country we can pull ourselves out of the desperate living conditions we may find ourselves in through the assistance of government programs, our communities and our families.</b></span></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Freedom from Fear:</i> Even though we have experienced outside threats to our safety over the years, we still can go to sleep at night and rest easily. Our children can go to school without the daily threat of bombs going off and gun fire. In many countries, worrying about an attack of some kind or the safety of family members is a daily fear. In our country we can live our lives in peace and look forward to a brighter tomorrow.</b></span></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;"><b> So, as you gather around your Thanksgiving table this year and look into the loving faces of your family and friends, take a moment to remember all of the freedoms that we have in this great nation. Remember the people who have gone before us and made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. Remember to thank God for allowing you to be born in a nation where freedoms are bountiful. Remember to count your blessings and to focus on the positive. If we all do this, everyday can be like Thanksgiving. If we all strive to see what we have to be thankful for instead of what we do not have, the world can be a better place and our children and grandchildren can enjoy and cherish the four freedoms that Norman Rockwell so beautifully depicted so many years ago.</b></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: medium;">~**~**~**~**~</span></div><div align="center"><b><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">As we head off to spend time with our families, we would like to wish each and every one of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! </span></b></div><div align="center"><b><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: medium;">Prim blessings! </span></b></div><div align="center"><br />

You can read the last post <a href="http://aprimitiveplacemagazine.blogspot.com/2011/11/last-week-my-wonderful-hubby-aka-mr.html" target="_blank">~here~</a> if you missed it. And if are a follower of my blog Behind My Red Door, you know that my dear friend Jill had the nerve to leave New England and move to Columbia, SC ! She went from being 2 hours away to 2 looong days away! It had something to do with leaving the snow behind, getting twice as much house for half the price, Jim being able to work outside as well as ride his motorcycle all year round or some other silly excuses I now can’t recall. All I know is that it is a LONG drive to get there! Now mind you, as capable as I am, I don’t do the driving ~ the mister does (by choice) but still, it is a looooong drive just the same! Thankfully she moved inland so we can avoid the dreaded rte. 95 corridor. I’ll give her that much! And when we get there ~ well it is always worth the drive! I’ll tell you all about the fun and food on my own blog when I find time, but today I will treat you to some sneak peeks of her gorgeous home. </strong></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="4" face="Papyrus"><strong>For those that don’t know, Jill and Jim make a lot of their own furniture. Jim is a carpenter by trade and Jill took years of woodworking classes at the local trade school in Maine. When they lived in Maine, they transformed the interior of their split entry home into a colonial style home. You can see pictures of that home if you click </strong></font><a href="http://www.aprimitiveplace.org/primchic.html" target="_blank"><font size="4" face="Papyrus"><strong>~here~.</strong></font></a><font size="4" face="Papyrus"><strong> When they bought their home in SC, it was the basic builders colonial with Pergo and carpeted floors, pickled pine cabinets and little warmth. Now, it is warm and inviting with gorgeous hardwood floors, crown moldings and chair rails, stenciling and filled with beautiful prim and colonial pieces. This summer Jim tore down the old deck and enlarged it and closed in half of it making a screened in porch. Between the two of them, they have done themselves proud! I’ll stop talking now and let you see just a wee bit of the eye candy…..</strong></font><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Q9ohSsRU6a8/TsWfNpRB8II/AAAAAAAABiY/tXEuoLVp3jw/s1600-h/537%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

He picked me up Sunday afternoon and we got home last night. It was 6 very full days and boy did I pack a lot in the time between when he dropped me off and came back for me. It’s going to take me sometime to upload all my pics, and sort them out but here is a quick synopsis of the trip. </font></strong></p> <p align="center"><strong><font size="4" face="Papyrus">On Friday I spent the day shooting Jill’s beautiful home. On Saturday, I was thrilled to finally meet Kathy (and her BFF Michelle) in person. We have been chatting and emailing for some time now so this was a special day for me. Jill had already met them and now it was my turn. And getting to shoot Kathy’s gorgeous home was the icing on the cake ~ I’ll get to those pics in a minute. On Sunday before my dear hubby picked me up for the looooong drive home, I snuck in a gathering with some wonderful prim friends I had met online ~ this was a long time in the making and another special day for me ~ more about that at another time.</font></strong></p> <p align="center"><strong><font size="4" face="Papyrus">~**~**~**~**~**~</font></strong></p> <p align="center"><strong><font size="4" face="Papyrus">Kathy lives in a southern bungalow on a tree lined street near downtown Columbia in a quaint neighborhood. The kind of neighborhood where the neighbors sit on each other’s porches after work sipping a cool beverage and where they look out for each other. As we were driving through the small streets, it was easy to see why Kathy chose this charming neighborhood. </font></strong></p> <p align="center"><strong><font size="4" face="Papyrus">From the minute we pulled up, it was clear why Jill had been saying “just you wait and see” so many times! The wide front porch was full of charm and the rocking chairs, prim table and lamp and braided rugs all said “come on up and sit a spell”. </font></strong></p> <p align="center"><strong><font size="4" face="Papyrus"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-VCFjltHs_AE/TsMh2aSMDKI/AAAAAAAABcU/xiKRDMpWD4w/s1600-h/1143%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="1143" border="0" alt="1143" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-3v7Li7e6mZ8/TsMh20mkRQI/AAAAAAAABcc/vobrmRYaaw0/1143_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="342" height="454"></a></font></strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-go1anSDkDzk/TsMh3H75EoI/AAAAAAAABck/ZuUTwOzrap8/s1600-h/1142%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="1142" border="0" alt="1142" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-GMeH3ABWHpo/TsMh3k8WCrI/AAAAAAAABcs/sCtr0XGhGA8/1142_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="338" height="454"></a></p> <p align="center"><strong><font size="4" face="Papyrus">And as welcoming as that was, I wanted inside!

With a major very unseasonal snowy blizzard coming later in the day, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to concentrate taking photos, but Susan and Tom’s beautiful home and yard were just the ticket to take my mind off the 12” plus snow we were expecting. As Audrey sat with Susan and helped her with the homeowner’s questionnaire, I happily clicked away at room after room of wonderful prims, antiques and folk art. </strong></font></p> <p align="center"><strong><font color="#d6a73a" size="4" face="Papyrus">Susan and Tom treated us to Panera for lunch and after a short break, I quickly got back to work as the rain and wind howled outside.

And did it snow. My area got 12+ inches and further west and north got many more inches. With the leaves on trees still, it created a very dangerous situation and broken limbs took down many power lines and blocked roads and even railroads. Many (hundreds of thousands) in MA are without power still including my parents and my son, DIL and Lili. They have been here all day and may be staying the night if power is not restored and I have been a busy Meemee with a 2 year old underfoot all day.
