This post is especially dedicated to my Grandma Dorothy Burtt. The purchase of our home occurred in a time close to when she entered a season in which she had to leave her lovely home after close to 40 years. The house we all refer to as simply "Smokey Hollow Road," has always been in my sister's and my mind the epitome of beauty, comfort, elegance and family. When she left the home, I inherited her piano, charming antique lamps and one of the items that to me 'is' Smokey Hollow Road: one of her wool braided rugs. It is the first one she made using a pattern and guide book that I now have in hopes of also creating a braided rug. I have crawled, walked and sat on this rug countless times on visits to my grandparents house. Little did I know, my own children would one day do the same in my own living room. So here are some photos Grandma...I hope that you can visit soon!
