I found an article in the New York Times today, called "In the Catskills, Finding Comfort in a Little Gingerbread House." Have you ever seen a house that is so small and yet so perfect? I want a miniature home like that. I love everything, but I especially love the chandeliers.
Slideshow can be found HERE.
The tiny house reminds me a little of Mandy, a children's book by Julie Andrews Edwards (Singing in the Rain Julie Andrews, but she writes books with her last name as Edwards). In it, a girl named Mandy finds a deserted cottage and secretly begins to decorate it according to her fantasies. It becomes her private get-away, someplace she can go to be alone and think. And although the story may sound a little trite and twee, (okay, maybe it is kind of trite) it is also completely charming and adorable.
When I was younger, I fantasized about finding someplace beautiful and private and unknown, like in The Secret Garden. So I adored this book, and I read it until it was falling apart.
