Once upon a time there was an artist named Steve
who lived in a cottage.
Steve was no ordinary artist
and Steve's cottage was no ordinary cottage.
Oh, it may have been ordinary at one time,
perhaps even plain.
But that was before Steve found the
plain little cottage and began to transform it
into The Enchanting Cottage.
One day Captain, the husband of Cottage Lover, came home
from a visit with Steve.
"Cottage Lover," Captain said to his beloved wife,
"The Enchanting Cottage is unbelievable.
You must see it. I'll take you there.
And you absolutely, positively must take your camera."
So Captain and Cottage Lover
paid a visit to Steve
and The Enchanting Cottage.
And Cottage Lover took her camera.
When Cottage Lover walked into
The Enchanting Cottage
her cottage-loving heart skipped a beat.
For everywhere Cottage Lover looked
she discovered
something wondrous.
Something glorious.
Something. . .enchanting.
Every nook.
Every cranny.
Every corner
brought smiles of delight to Cottage Lover's lips.
To be continued. . .
