I wanted to get over here before Christmas to wish you a merry one but the season got the better of me. To say it was busy would be an understatement. Reading your blog & getting to know you thru it has been a highlight for me this year. Can't wait to read your adventures in 2012.<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100504828452604755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4929511054591326802.post-33927029766026048782011-12-28T05:31:09.780-08:002011-12-28T05:31:09.780-08:00Vicki,

The views out the windows of that estate are breathtaking. I have 2 begonia plants that I purchased years ago, from their garden shop. They serve as a nice reminder of our visits there. I am certain "The Gardener" is enjoying having help from Mason as you decorate your home. Have a great Christmas.<br />DebMosaic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715004978582753127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4929511054591326802.post-55517620576839739132011-12-16T15:57:18.414-08:002011-12-16T15:57:18.414-08:00Did you know Mr. Vanderbilt wanted to build in Bur...Did you know Mr. Vanderbilt wanted to build in Burkes Garden here in Tazewell County?

But I even loved the gift shop so much. I know that once inside those doors I probably would not want to leave! I just love the overall pictures of it all lit up at night. So magical. And I couldn't think of a more beautiful place to visit at Christmas time. So glad you shared this with us. xoxo ~LiliLilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003968489244660242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4929511054591326802.post-38745428281781177842011-12-10T11:10:58.310-08:002011-12-10T11:10:58.310-08:00I am lost for words.........I am lost for words.........Lululizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252036505940629329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4929511054591326802.post-91322896758198491432011-12-09T14:27:50.579-08:002011-12-09T14:27:50.579-08:00Hi Vicki!

Yes, it was COLD, but beautiful! I love the forest of twinkling trees on the lawn, and the candlelight tour was magical. You are so lucky to get there as often as you do.
