Instead, it is presented in all its honest simplicity: perfection.<br /><br />AnnaAnna at the Doll Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18282617177491266907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-86956995009028819512011-08-13T22:08:51.855+01:002011-08-13T22:08:51.855+01:00What an interesting place to visit.

I remember exactly as my friend lived just down the road from it at the time and we had just had our babies a few months before.We walked them down in their prams. My baby is now 6ft!<br />I can't remember it being as lovely as it is in your photo's. If I ma ever in the area again I will pop in as it look very interesting.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211870462490954636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-69470510594402372132011-08-13T05:58:10.081+01:002011-08-13T05:58:10.081+01:00Beautiful clay-colored pinks and gray.
