O
nce upon a time
in a far away land named Massachusetts their was an evil
innkeeper, his wife, and there two lovely daughters. The wife cooked and cleaned and worked very hard. When she had spare time she taught herself to paint. Not just walls but pictures to hang on these walls. You see she loved unusual things which were very hard to find. She had always loved working with her hands and creating art. Nine years passed, very quickly I must add! Then one beautiful spring day the innkeeper decided to move his family back to their childhood land, Pennsylvania. There they settled in a little village called Allison Park. As the children grew, Kate, the wife worked and learned how to fix and maintain their new inn. Which made her very skilled in many trades.
Then one cold December evening the evil innkeeper grew tired of the family life and off he went, never to be seen from again. What was Kate to do!
“Aha!” she said. Maybe the village would also enjoy unusual items to grace their homes and adorn their bodies. Without further ado, Kate started putting her skills to work painting the villagers’ walls and furniture with beautiful designs, exclusive for each individual’s taste. As the years passed the village became a unique and whimsical land!
One day while gardening, a passing gnome darted into a patch of thickets, which revealed a briar covered carriage house. Her imagination took off, this would make a great meeting place to sell her wares and greet the village ladies. Again, she worked and worked and made the cottage into an enchanted studio filled with whimsical adornments for the village patrons. And to this day you can join Kate at Briar Cottage,
, she'll be spinning her wares and visiting with the town folk.
They all lived happily ever after, except the evil innkeeper, who I
believe got eaten by a
dragon!
