I am in North Carolina and we have an old southern family with the last name of Parrott in this area. It is not a common name, but Parrott Academy in Kinston, North Carolina is named in honor of them. Do you have family in NC?

    What an excellent restoration of the chaise lounge. The upholstery fabric is lovely and, my, what a fine job they did with that. It is one fine piece of furniture. Things like that with a personal story behind them are what help make a place a home. I noticed the back of the sofa in the adjoining room and it's so pretty with the Jacobean fabric. I long for beautiful fabrics, braids, tassels, etc., and unless one lives in a city it's hard to find these days. Thank you for offering us the joy of beautiful things and good music.

    Don’t even get me started with drinks by the pool with Daniel. This will be very interesting. The book presented was another hit as far as I’m concerned. The deep colors were a favorite. I’ve discovered deep colors look best on me And therefore my favorite color scene. Black is my favorite!! You can put anything with it and it is perfect. I’m not sure if you mentioned the price of the book but I might have missed that part. The music was so appropriate for the book and the visit to the manor. I love visiting places like that. Will be looking forward to the conclusion of this tour.

      These interiors were very smart. They were interesting and stimulating. I can't remember if I mentioned the price either, but used copies are available on several websites. Due to the unique fabric used to cover the book, each cover will vary slightly (same fabric, but different cut) so don't let that confuse you.

    Dear Sweet Mary, Especially enjoyed your video as it has many memories for me. I was Christened at St. James before my family moved to Wallace. I have been there many times mostly for funerals and once when the Church dedicated "Lee Hall" which my Uncle helped to build in memory of my late Aunt Jeanne Lee. I wanted to tell your bloggers in case they did not know that you also published a wonderful book called "Wallace, N.C. Home, Sweet Home" about our home town and both my parents were mentioned in the book as you and I both grew up in Wallace. See you next week! Hughie

    Wow! Talk about eye candy; it's almost entirely full page photos! Yeah, this one's on my must have list now. Loved the tour too. I would so love to go visit some true Colonial era homes. I've done genealogy, and ALL of my family lines came through the South, including Alabama, and some as far back as Jamestown, and the tobacco colonies in Virginia. I am kin to the Garners (including distant cousin to John Nance Garner) and one forefather who served in the Rev. war later settled in Alabama. I've dreamed of going on a genealogy research trip to the courthouses, libraries, archives, museums and cemeteries where my family came from. I did do a lot of research in Louisiana and was thrilled once when I found records from a Primitive Baptist Church (on microfilm held at the Noel Library at LSUS in Shreveport) which were recorded by my great-grandfather, who was the record keeper. Realizing I was reading his actual handwriting was actually thrilling! Thank you for this very diverting and enjoyable video and HAPPY BIRTHDAY early to the Tartan Topiary! Did you ever imagine you would create this career in film for yourself, with such total creative control? What a blessing. Life is so surprising!

    It is Always a joy to see what surprise you have in store for us Mary!... and this week was no exception. There was lots of "eye candy"! The home tour was wonderful, and I look forward to seeing the remaining upstairs of the historic home next week. I know y'all will celebrate Daniel in style this Father's Day 2024!

    Enjoyed the book, Cabana Anthology! Wow, what beautiful interiors, she is quite artistic. I thought the Burgwin home was lovely, so nice to see it restored from the 1700's. How interesting about the jail, I suppose we all have some questionable ancestors 😅 Have a lovely weekend and Happy Father's Day to Daniel! Can't wait for another mixology date around the pool!!❤

    Well done Mary! The tour was especially delightful with lovely music to accompany it. Your video was so respectful of the items in this historic house, especially the portraitures. Thank you for some very quieting and calm moments.

    Another great book review. Thanks for the house tour. I love historic homes. That card table with four candles was stunning! Looking forward to next weeks video. You and Daniel are always fun. Can't believe it's been two years already!

      That card table was very striking. The bright red immediately pulled my eye toward it.

    Hi Mary. Nice tour of the home ,,,if those walls could talk. Enjoyed the book with pages full for the eyes to see. Happy Father's Day to Daniel and I shall see you both poolside next Friday. Hoping your home is back in order inside. Enjoy your weekend. xo

      I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. I could tour historic homes every day, if it was possible. Our house is almost back to normal. We are in the cleaning phase. The plaster dust was the worst part. I hope you are enjoying your weekend also!
