Fairy Tale town..........

                      


Next week, my sister and 2 nieces who live in southern California, are getting ready to take a road trip up the coast to San Francisco.  On the way, they are going to stop at one of my favorite places, Carmel, often referred to as "Carmel by the Sea."  It is one of the most beautiful little towns in the country and is known for it's neighborhood of  "fairy tale cottages."  The 1st one was built in 1924 by a man named Hugh Comstock for his wife as a place to showcase her large doll collection.  He went on to build another called Gretal and then built another named the Obers that he and his wife moved into.  By 1928, 27 more cottages were built not only by him, but other residents who joined in by turning their own cottages into "fairy tale homes."
I don't know about you, but I would love to live in any one of them!
