Through these doors one enters a magical realm...the wonderland of Barb Connors...her magic filled rabbit hole, a constant inspiration to me...Cross Creek Antiques and Simply Iowa, the blog...
Will you be inspiredby wispy glass beading
and statues all beckoning
and fountains all streaming
with rusted and crackled
and faded old flair
by sun drenched age'd hollows
in this moaning conservatory
of a mad hatter's lair
...be inspiredlisten to the siren song
be not afraidto follow your heart
have a tea party
with crystal
and velvet
a decorator's art
it's true what I saidthis room it does sing
with the wind through the panes
it moans with a ring
of mystics and magic
and the hum of the rains
I was awed by it's foray
in a traveler's dream game
...the church of the soul...
...the gateway to Edens..
...and the mystique all around...
...find your own rabbit holethe magic
and the mystique
of your very own Alice
your sweet soul
and your wide-eyed
inner peace...
Thanks Barb for always inspiring me to clutter my realm...!

Wow...thanks for all the neat pics! I wish I lived closer because that is my kind of place.
That's a "go around at least twice" kind of place.
