This past Friday evening was a magical one indeed. I spent it with my husband at the Walker Homestead’s “Old Fashioned New England Christmas by the Hearthside” with the most wonderful folks!
This post will be packed with lots of eye candy, so get comfy, grab a cup of coffee, and be inspired for a little holiday magic!
They have the 2013
“Primitive Days Calendar”
featuring my photography available to purchase.
There’s Father Christmas sitting on my husband’s lap…hmmm who was naughty & who was nice?
Children’s book author & photographer Mark Kimball Moulton and Kris Casucci are sharing a relaxing moment.
Mark photographed Father Christmas & I.
I’m a big fan of Mark’s photography, he inspires me!

There’s Maria inside the Ivy House where she set up shoppe for the weekend.
Lumpy, aka“ Santa Paws” dressed for the occasion!
I want to thank all of the kind folks who came to meet me and tell me how much they enjoy coming on my blog and Facebook page, it really meant a lot to me!
I also want to thank Paul & Kris Casucci for being such gracious hosts, it was such an enchanting & magical evening! You can still go to their open house today, or just visit the Walker Homestead anytime, just visit their website for more info.

ReplyDeleteThis was so wonderful it made us feel as tho we were back home for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Hello Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures, you captured the magic! I am particularly fond of the picture of my daughter Lydia with Father Christmas;-) I am sorry we didn't meet formally when I got a calendar, but I was as nervous as a cat watching to make sure Lydia didn't bump into anything...LOL! Enjoy the rest of the show!
Blessings,
Suzanne
Sigh - this reminds me of a wonderful trip to New England a couple of years ago!

ReplyDeleteAt first I thought Father Christmas with the child might have been an old
ReplyDeletepainted Christmas card until I peered more closely. Your photographs are
splendid...placing us in the midst of that wondrous atmosphere among
such accomplished people. Kris is the best Father Christmas of note;
a walking portrait. Bless you for sharing.
