How cool! I would never have the guts to just go up and knock on someone's door just to see who lived there. LOL! I love the colors you chose for this LO, they work well with the pic.
Wonderful LO, Kim!! I love that y'all stopped and met the man - he must be incredibly interesting to talk too! I love the photo. I wanna be that cool when I'm old. :D The stamps are perfect!!
This is NOT the main house!! This is the structure he called The Library. Inside the library is just one book on the table because he said that he had more stories than any library ever could!! Boy-was he right about that!!
We used to pass this house all the time on our way to our weekend getaway. One day, my mom decided to knock on the door and see just who lived here. Well, his name was Otto and he was the most interesting (and eccentric!) gentleman!!
He was 82 when he started "fixing up the place" and 86 when we met him. He decorated every single structure himself!
On his property was his house and a whole bunch of other little houses (each one fully furnished!!) and structures and things ... all decorated like this!
He was interviewed in the local paper there and said that most all the materials he found in other people's trash!!
I have a copy of that article I will include in this album.
