Our new little house, Park View sits on a rise. When 3 brothers built 3 stone homes on this street there was nothing else around, so it did indeed have many views. We are anxiously and joyfully looking forward to moving in and making it our home.
You’ve asked for more pictures so I’ve snagged these from two listings. Our living room….
We’re now doing some serious shopping. Frying pans, bath towels and what we are hoping is a quality air mattress to use until we find a bed we like.
Entry…very exciting…I’ve never had an entry before.
…we needed a teapot…well, we need a kettle as well, but I’m still pursuing the options as I’m stuck between style and price. The teapot is about as cute as they get, thank you Mary Berry. Yes, the previous host of The Great British Bake Off has her own kitchen ware.
Here is the kitchen as it is set up now as an Arbnb…
Most of the house is a ‘blank canvas’. We’ll be able to make it our own with only a few alterations. “Few” compared to Glory Farm.
We’ve found a church home, for which we are so grateful. One couple even invited us home for lunch prior to our finding Park View.
Soon to be my sewing room. I sure do miss my sewing machine.
Our new friends were so excited for us to find this lovely cottage in such a lovely village. Imagine our surprise when they called a few days later, as they realized that the Park View was the built by her Great Grandfather and her mother had fond memories of getting a turn in the hammock when they would visit.
You can just see her peaking over the hammock’s edge. The other builders, were her Great Great Uncles of course. We know that part of this coincidence is village life, but when you’ve only made one friend so far, well it is just a God thing.
We opted to buy a trailer instead of a second car. The trailer will be put to good use as we continue to hunt and gather all the items one needs to make a home. Speaking of a hunt, there is a furniture auction tomorrow. We’ve got our eye on an assortment of lovely things.
…and we are so very, very blessed.
This is awesome. You have a friend whose Great Grandfather built your new house. And you have a new friend which is at least as important as a new house. Well, quite important anyway. I’m thrilled for you
Blessings,
Nancy Fisher

How much fun we would have at the auction! We will have so much fun when you come. Love hearing from you and hope all is well with your family. Love you.
What a lovely house. Hope you get to move in soon
Thank you Doris! It looks like we will get the house on March 6 and we don’t have to be out of our current cottage until March 9, so all should be great!
What a lovely home! Thanks for the pictures and the hugs!
THANK YOU for the hugs…and the apple fritter…and the hugs.

Congratulations! It looks simply perfect. I’m looking forward to the new furniture pieces you collect. I bet this new life chapter is invigorating and gives you new purpose and drive?
I think you’re right. So excited to pick and choose and hunt special items without being in a hurry. Surprisingly excited to receive the little we shipped….like dear old friends. We grown even closer to our Lord in this time and look forward to loving others for him.

I’m so glad you have had a chance to blog. How wonderful to know some history of your new home. It must feel so great to already be establishing roots! Planning where things will go is exciting. I’m sure you have lots of sewing projects already in mind. Enjoy the auction!!
It’s been so long since I could sew and enjoy it. Grandbaby #4 is coming in April and her quilt will be late.
Thanks friend.
Congratulations on Grandbaby#4! My dad passed peacefully on Tuesday morning. We are busy going through lots of photos. Very therapeutic!
Oh, dear friend. I will be in touch privately.
I’m so happy for you two! What a wonderful journey with only great things to come. I love the small town feel and everything is just beautiful. Have to admit, I’m a tab bit jealous. This looks amazing! Can’t wait to hear of your new adventures!
Thank you so much Dawn! You remember some of my darker days…I appreciated your support then and am appreciating your joy for us now. xx
Oh my!! SOOO exciting! Your new home looks cozy and adorable, even without furniture. I know you’ll snag some wonderful finds at the auction. And the history of the house…. WOW! It was meant to be yours. Just took its time finding you.
Thanks sweeet Mims,
I took Gunner for a walk past the pottery place today and think of you every time I do. It will be so nice to only bring in things we want. I’m very excited about tomorrow.xx
Park View🥰 Even the name is so sweet. And isn’t it just like God to give you a home and a friend who together have such an important and meaningful history. Our moms valued the legacy left by those who came before us, and I am so thrilled for you that you are the caretaker now of this brand new friend’s own family home!
Thanks Amy, that picture will indeed find a frame and a place in our cottage. Such history here in so very many ways. Bless you,
Thank you for sharing! I’ve never lived outside of Washington state and can’t imagine making such a big move. It’s so neat to live vicariously through you guys. Good luck at the auction!!!
Thank you, Mischa. Lovely to hear from you and I hope the family is well!
It’s so fun to see inside your new house! Good luck at the auction! I hope it’s very successful…and fun! I can’t wait to see what you get!
Thanks Cousin, wouldn’t it be fun to tag along! Our list is really different now that we know what we need.
