I just ...Hi, Rhoda and all of Rhoda's friends! I just finished cleaning this Victorian lady from stem to stern and am curled up reading your comments.<BR/><BR/>Thank you to those of you who have been so kind as to watch the slideshow of our St. Augustine nest. It's fun to get feedback, though admitedly a little scary. To be honest, I've been very hesitant to put this online,least of all on a decorating blog, and have only sent the link to people I know or who've asked about the house. But I tiptoed out of my comfort zone when Rhoda asked if I minded her putting up a link. I felt like she shares so much of herself with all of her readers that I couldn't decline her request. Hugs to you, Rhoda, for all you do, and Happiest of Birthdays to your sweet hubby! <BR/><BR/>Earlier today, I told a friend that Rhoda was going to link to the house, and I see that my friend made it over here. Hi, Linda! {{{Hugs}}}<BR/><BR/>Bunny, you asked if the chair in the bathroom is a "prie dieu." I would say, yes. Believe it or not, my painter studied to be a Jesuit priest in his youth, and he was commenting about two initials on the top of it -- RR. I can't remember the Latin for it, but I think he said it stood for something or other Rex (as in King Jesus). <BR/><BR/>I actually have a Victorian needlepointed "prie dieu" from Belgium that isn't out, but I love to collect things like that. I also have some gorgeous vestments from Europe that I enjoying using on our tables at Easter. I found them at my favorite shop in town which unfortunately is no longer open. The dealer decided to take a break as she was married to the business and wanted time to have more of a personal life. Oh, she had the greatest things ever! Amelia of Ravenswood Antiques is incredible and just a super, super person. <BR/><BR/>I agree with what some of you have said about St. Augustine. It's one of the most wonderful places ever. Charming. Romantic. And special beyond words. I've enjoyed it more than I can say. We can look out our kitchen window and watch the carriage horses go by on the tour route. Additionally we see the oldest well in the country and one of the oldest remaining houses in St. Augustine from the First Spanish Colonial Period. We are literally surrounded with history. Two doors down they did a "dig" and unearthed the charred remains of buildings that were dated to Sir Francis Drake's raid on St. Augustine in the 1500's! You just never know what you'll find in your own backyard!<BR/><BR/>Remodelingthislife, if you are out and about downtown, please drop by and knock on the door in case I'm home. Would love to meet you! Also would love to meet any of you who visit St. Augustine. We are right downtown in the heart of so many B&B's, restaurants, art galleries, shops, attractions, etc. We are close to the foot of the Bridge of Lions and can see it if we take a few steps outside. Well, that is, when the construction isn't going on which will hopefully end at some point as we've been promised!<BR/><BR/>As to the rest of evening, I'm going to make it a point to visit your blogs. I hope to have one up and running at some point, but we've had major computer issues of late. When I get started, I'll link up to Rhoda. I want to create a place where people can escape and enjoy armchair travel and shopping. I love to browse the shops around here, whether I buy anything or not, and I think it will be fun to share what they have to offer. <BR/><BR/>In turn, I love to see all the creative things each of you do and thank you for it. Thanks, too, for your kind feedback. It means a lot. <BR/><BR/>SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-91465489639072156372008-08-10T21:48:00.000-05:002008-08-10T21:48:00.000-05:00Oh, my my my my my!
