Found this on Mark's blog www.248am.com thought it might be of interest to my readers also.
I've always wanted to have a look inside :O)
oh wow! that'd be great, I've always been curious about that house too!!!
ReplyDeleteis this exhibition for free or would we have to pay for tickets?
It's free to enter and view. There are arts and crafts on sale there. Just got back now, it's a very cute and quirky place. You can also wander around the garden. Very unique.
ReplyDeleteI went with the BLS last year and this man is a horder/collector of the first degree. There is more stuff in his house than you could count.

ReplyDeleteYes he is an avid collector. Lots of interesting stuff. I also loved the Wild West cabin in the garden with the skeleton in the hangman's noose, such a shame the municipality came and took one of the walls of the cabin down.

ReplyDeleteand curious abt that house....grrrr
:o( You'll have to keep a look out for the next Aladdin open house. The Fine Arts and Crafts Association did say they would be having more exhibitions but no more details as yet.
