cover story


I met Allan on a scout. Riding my bicycle in search of inspiring cottages to publish in a magazine I work with, Cottages & Bungalows, my bike aimed toward the ocean and stalled at this wonderful red house, so different from the modern, ho hum homes dotting the ocean line.

This affable man came outside, invited me in, and offered a tour. Some of you have asked for such a tour, though I am just sorry that blogs do not yet have the capability of having Allan give you one personally. He is quite passionate about his home, the work he put into creating Ebb Tide. I was charmed.

Months later we had a photo shoot. Months after that this image made the cover of Cottages & Bungalows. Months, then years later...well we are married.

I love your cover story and how it all began. You have a 'Once Upon a Time' story to tell your little one to come!

Is that the room we had tea in? Your cottage is what a cottage is all about plus the love and positive energy that surrounds it.

:) and now, baby makes it all complete. What a great story to tell your little one....how Mommy and Daddy met.

When my girls were small, we used to tell them our story every Valentine's Day when we had a family dinner to exchange Valentine's. xo
