I guess it's just that when I am able to replicate history I get excited and want to share!<br />So, again, thank you all!!Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-33228049887441432622011-12-20T20:45:38.181-05:002011-12-20T20:45:38.181-05:00Hi Ken,

It helps, I'm sure, that you have immersed yourselves in every little detail from the time period. It really does show! <br /><br />One of the biggest thing that roots a house in the proper time period is the lighting, and I see you've done a great job with the kerosene lamps and low lighting in your room! Of course, the antique furniture and other items go a long way, and I love the pictures hanging from the cords. <br /><br />Marry Christmas to you and you beautiful family! Thank you for the Christmas Tour!<br /><br />-PamPam of Eastlake Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149348967860577425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-26269150399968105542011-12-20T17:37:21.373-05:002011-12-20T17:37:21.373-05:00Ken,

We love the tree and miss ours.<br /><br />We have a collection of the German tin candle cups that are very old and used to light the tree with beeswax candles. As you said, only for a few minutes, with fire extinguishers at hand!<br /><br />Merrie Christmas to you and your kin.Civil Folkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562008704421534000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-33251562776807435122011-12-20T09:57:24.150-05:002011-12-20T09:57:24.150-05:00Just lovely!Just lovely!Robin's Egg Bleuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940955157144789351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-73126030240913636652011-12-19T14:28:49.198-05:002011-12-19T14:28:49.198-05:00Your home, especially your special room, is deligh...Your home, especially your special room, is delightful. Sounds as though you had a beautiful time. I have candles on my tree, never have lite them all at once. Have wanted to, hard to do when it is 10 foot tall. But I lite a few when I give tours to show people. I keep a bucket of water, beside the tree, just in case, just like they did back then. merry Christmas, Richard from My Old Historic House.Richard Cottrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055636542951753310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-38102587330206730082011-12-19T14:18:23.509-05:002011-12-19T14:18:23.509-05:00Wow, I could look at these pictures for an hour!
