That looks like it was fun! And how exciting that the little one learned to swim! Mine are almost there too. :)

Hooray for Julia! What an accomplishment.
Alas, I will probably never be able to visit such beauty...but thank you so for the "visits" to the Stickley art. What gorgeousness, character and soul!

Very jealous about your trip to Craftsman Farms - I teach a bit about Stickley and the Arts and Crafts era in my Modern Art class, and we always make an e-visit to the Farm.

What a good thing to learn to swim! (and no floaties...!)

We're in the process of buying a house with a lot of Craftsmen touches to it. Can't wait to enjoy the built in book shelves, exposed beams, etc. I am very excited about it! Thanks for sharing another resource on the style.

yay about the floaties! what a gorgeous looking p...

We'll definitely follow your tip on the Stickley house too--it's not far from my in-laws in New Jersey either. If you do go to the Edison home, you've got to listen to the song "The Edison Museum" by They Might Be Giants (a great kids' tape for car rides, in any case). Julia's about the right age for the CD but the song is a favorite of the grownups in our family, too.

If we are ever in NJ we'll be sure to check this o...

If we are ever in NJ we'll be sure to check this out. We are rather ardent collectors of Stickley furniture (um, let's just say that sales people are impressed when we tell them how many pieces we have) and I know my husband would love to see this.

Would love to see the Stickley house. We visited E...

Would love to see the Stickley house. We visited Edison's winter house in Ft Meyer, Fla a few years ago. Fascinating. Congratulations to Julia!

If ever I'm anywhere near New Jersey, I'll go here...

If ever I'm anywhere near New Jersey, I'll go here! Thanks for letting us all know about the Stickley house (and for reminding me of Chaucer's line.)
