(Christmas in Connecticut directed by Peter Godfrey 1945)
There's a famous old film (1945) called Christmas in Connecticut starring Barbara Stanwyck. In it she plays a well known writer pretending to live a bucolic life in an old house in Connecticut where she spends her days cooking for her family and writing her column "Diary of a Housewife". In reality she lives alone in a New York City apartment - and can't even boil an egg. You can imagine the story that ensues when she finds herself in danger of being found out!Here is my version of Christmas in Connecticut, a collection of charming, antique homes, all ready for the holidays!

Oh, my, what a fun tour! Great photos. Thanks for sharing.
I used to live in Tolland! And that old stone barn looks so familiar! How fun...I miss the beautiful capes & colonials IL is a little more - well, blah :) Blessings!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I've been wracking my brain trying to remember the name of that movie. I even searched Netflix, but I somehow thought Katherine Hepburn was in it. That was the problem. It's going to be my next rental. Also, I lived outside of Boston for 5 years and loved it so much. Thanks for the touch of New England. It's so beautiful. I'm in SoCal now. It's just not the same.

That movie is one of my favorites!
Christmas in Connecticut has been my favorite Christmas movie for years although most people have never heard of it. I think you have inspired me to post about it, too. Thank you for the home tour, too! Blessings!
Greetings, came by for Muse Swings Christmas tour today as I was delayed on Monday due to computer problems. Better late than never as the saying goes!
