My 25 anniversary was this year so I got my first
diamond back around Christmas and my first honeymoon in May.....I was
treated to a trip to Eureka Springs Arkansas on a crystal buying trip in
my beautiful Mystic Blue Odyssey. We toured Quigleys Castle.... I so
loved it and it inspired me so...... check it out

I knew I was bonded to this place when I saw the gourd in the corner of
the house.
Quigley's Castle is the dream home of Elise
Quigley (1910-1984). Her grandchildren invite visitors to wander through
her perennial garden of over 400 varieties of flowers. The Garden paths
wind around secluded benches, a lily pond and bird baths up to her home
which she beautifully covered with stones she'd collected since
childhood. See how she found a way to sleep in tree tops full of bloom.
Tropical plants grow in the natural soil of the first floor and brush
the ceiling of the second floor. She has a butterfly, fossil, crystal,
arrowhead and glassware collection beyond imagination. Quigley's Castle
is located 4 miles south of
Eureka Springs, Arkansas. One can visit between April 1 and October
31. |

A visit to Quigley's castle truly inspired me to create my own magical
castle.
I'll take 2 ::)) |

May You too be living your dreams and building your own
castle.
