Victorian Wonderland

This is not the same victorian house from the previous post... it is one I found to be even more lovely.  There were hedges all around it, hiding it from the outside world but for one gate, that allowed entry.  Through this gate you can see the steps and the door of the house- all lovely shades of pale yellow, coral, and forest green.  I just feel as if I'm disappearing into Wonderland, just like Alice down the rabbit hole, as I stare at this photograph.  I wonder if you will feel the same way.

Veranda Cafe

This is the front porch of a gorgeous victorian house in New Canaan.  I really hope that they use this space- if I had this in my yard, I would be there ten hours a day, sipping green tea with just some William Shakespeare and Chopin to keep me company.  Preferably, I'd be wearing one of my many sundresses, a silk scarf, and Ray Ban sunglasses.  Oh, and pearls.  Simple pearls.  However, judging from the flower arrangement that occupies the majority of the table, I would assume that this is mostly just a decoration.
