Margarite just loved the little house, really a cottage, in Three Lakes, Wisconsin where she has been house sitting for 6 relaxing weeks.  She wanted to leave it, better than she found it, for Vivian's return.  She went over every inch of every room, "well, little cottage, you're spick and span clean."  She admired Vivian's style, the mix of old pieces with the new, it was so cozy.  "When I return to Chicago, I'm going to look around at the antique and thrift shops and redecorate my apartment." she thought.  

This experience really ignited her creativity on so many levels.  She left Tinley Park back in June thinking she knew who she was and what she wanted.  She wrote and is working on a children's book, not the novel she envisioned.  She spent time doing the hobbies she thought she never had time for.  She made new friends and neighbors, that now feel like family.   "I am ready to go back home, a new Maragarite," she told herself.  "I have a few more weeks before school starts, I will make my surroundings as inviting as this little cottage."  "Margarite," she said, "you, will return to this little town again, it is now my second home."  

The items in this staged vignette (Vivian's cottage) will be for sale tonight in the VIRTUAL Event (link above).
