Chickasaw Christmas Tour of Homes - Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of our Christmas tour of Homes...before we go any further...I have some sad news to share.... Back at the end of August Bilbo visited Bilbo...Bilbo Waggins that is at The View From Bag End. He visited the garden at Wordsworth House. It has been brought to my attention by Nic at Nip It In the Bud, that Cumbria, and the surrounding areas have had a devastating flood. the gardens that Bilbo visited at Wordsworth House have been destroyed, and 200 people have been rescued from this area. Very sad. There are several posts on Bilbo Waggins blog about the flood. I have been so busy, and haven't been keeping up with the blogs I follow. We need to keep all of these people in our thoughts and prayers this Christmas. They have lost alot. You can read more about the devastation at Wordsworth House HERE. I feel honored that Bilbo was able to visit these beautiful gardens in all of their glory. Sigh...terrible! I hate to start of with bad news...but lets try to turn those frowns upside down! I think that most of you will LOVE this house! I know I certainly did! This is the FABULOUS home of Tony & Robert! They are avid gardeners, and also collect antiques.

Tony's brother is an artist, and made all of the ceramic leaves, platters, etc....and they were great! I love everything about this place! I love the urn in the fireplace. They had some absolutely amazing pots!

Don't you love all of the pots they used! I love to see what other people come up with! Who would have thought to done this!

They collect old garden gnomes (Bilbo would love them!). They have them all throughout the house and gardens.

They also incorporated several outdoor garden statues throughout the home, and they look great!

Robert dabbles in antiques, and they have some amazing pieces in their home!

This old French buffet was one of my favorites! I have no where in my house to put it...but I would LOVE to have a piece like this!

They had a fantastic collection of vintage Santa's. You can see them in the cabinet at the end of the table.

Look at all of them!

This is another piece I want for my house! Wow!!! I could definitely do some baking with that much room!

Hmmm...why have I never thought about this! I have several old cookie cutters, and lots of old bowls. So guess what I came home and did! LOL!

Isn't that old wrought iron piece great!

When we reached the backyard, we were blown away. Clearly it was dark, but you could see that it was an amazing place. We have already warned them that we will be back come Spring time!

There were all of these amazing hanging baskets suspended from the old oak trees.

I must have one of these!

This was the back entrance

I also must have two of these!

After we perused the back yard, we made our way back inside to finish up the tour.

I don't think that there was anything new in this house at all! And it was fantastic! I loved it!

There we have Part 2! I love that each house is completely different! We have 3 more houses to tour. They will all be in the next post!

I hope you all enjoyed Part 2! Please stop by and visit Bilbo Waggins!
