    DONT EVEN THINK OF SELLING IT. Once something is gone it is gone forever and I know from experience how devastating that can be later on. There is always another way round things. You would think that in retrospect. It is a darling cottage filled with memories.

    Actually we have it off the market now because we are concerned only because I am the cleaner /care taker and as we might be starting to see my Mother in Law soon, who is older, We just felt that having out of town guests was a bit too risky for us now. We are prepared to bear with it until Next Summer not renting it (have to always prepare for down times anyway with rental properties) so, we'd most like get guests, but it's just not comfortable for us at present as we really miss my Mother in law :) If that makes any sense :) Thanks for stopping by tho.

    What a lovely cottage! I grew up in a cottage in Dennis and had so many wonderful memories. Our heat was a wood stove my mother bought for $25 in Provincetown back in 1958. It was sold in 1966, much to my displeasure. I still live in Dennis but think of our little cottage often. I love Sandwich, it is such a beautiful town. Thanks for sharing your lovely little cottage!

    It's so endearing as to how your heritage and closeness to family and family history warmly color your life and spirit. Holding close to the past is important to me as well since I still own and live in my old home place in the mountains when I want to have a nice vacation steeped in memories of my loving family who have all gone into Eternity. My 2 houses in town are my practical homes being a home inherited from my mother where she lived until she transcended, and then the other house is mine. All of my homes have enough comforting accents all about to make me feel hugged and warm. I don't blame you for keeping your cottage...it serves as a security blanket like nothing else can do. And it looks so very warm. I can only imagine your good times there and holidays. ...Thank you for inviting us inside for a spell.

    Wonderful..Lovely home..with so much charm and interest; American history. If the walls could talk..what would they tell us? I feel the cherished memories in this space..and I would love to own a cottage like this.. You are blessed to have the lemons and the lemonade! I do agree that your living room carpet has to go..TOTALLY disrupts the space.. An inexpensive, solid colored rug in a sage or light blue..to hide traffic dirt would do nicely..like the colors of your plates from the antique thrift you picked up.. The architecture inside your home is my favorite feature..the chunky, rustic wood beams..are amazing! I understand how you feel about your mom.. I lost my dear mom in October last year..I miss her too.. Thank you for sharing! Appreciate your endeavors.

It's going to be an Old King's Cottage kind of Christmas :)

    Also, about storing the Deer Repellent. I wanted to mention - if you have any remaining repellent in your jug, just cap it and set it aside in your shed, or on your porch, or under a tree. The point is, the longer the repellent sits and ripens, it just becomes more potent with time. Just don't leave it in direct sun. So, don't worry about refrigerating it, or anything like that. We visit a lovely vacation resort in the mountains of New York, and they have expansive gardens, with the most beautiful array of flowers and fruit trees. And they spray with a similar concoction. Their resort butts up to a nature reserve that is teeming with deer. They used to have problems with the deer eating their plants, but once they began using the repellent, the deer stay at the borders, in the tree line, and won't come down to feed. And we noticed that it didn't affect the birds or the humming birds that feed on the nectar, nor the bees that gather nectar. So, the repellent does it jobs against the deer and rabbits. So, we are happy to pass this recipe on to you, and hope you have as much luck as we did, following the advice of this resort.

    So glad I discovered your channel and loved seeing your old historical cottage. Wonderful to see the old treasures and your part of the US. The city I live in (NZ) wasn't settled till the 1850's with many settlers being English. Unfortunately many old buildings were lost in the 2010/11 quakes. Loved seeing the Episcopal church. Thanks for your video

I can't touch anything without wondering about the people who handled or touched them before. I feel a real connection to the past through the things remaining to us. I hope you do get to keep your lovely cottage but it will be a wonderful record to allow each of us to see it through the holidays and we can all carry it forward so to speak, as we share in this season with you.

    Oh, Donna!! Thank you for sharing Old King's Cottage with us! I just watched the video a second and third time and notice something different in the cottage each time. What an amazing treasure! I am looking forward to other videos at the cottage. I got a little chuckle when I saw my Pfaltzgraff "Yorktowne" dish set at the charity shop. They were a gift in the 1970s and I still use them. Congratulations on all your new subscribers! You are getting close to 2000!

Oh yes, the charity shop always has an interesting mix, tho I've got actual old antiques there, as many of the congreation would sometimes donate things that were 'family heirloom' quality just because it had been gathering dust in the attics. So, it's good to have a look around a lot, which I used to do ALL the time prior to the New world we now have OH well, make Lemonade I say! :) Thanks for stopping by and see you at lalande. @Madeline S.

You have made this time so much better for all of us and I only hope that comes back to you many times over. Once rental time is available as an option to you, I believe you may have TOO many who want to visit! Looking very forward to following you as you decorate.
