milovany Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) On the banks of Plum Creek. That underground house and nearby creek always sounded like a lovely place to live when I was a kid. I still enjoy reading that book. Roxaboxen has been another that I've loved sharing with my kids. Oh, and Milly Molly Mandy's village, including the nice white cottage with the thatched roof. I'm sensing a theme here, LOL. Edited June 5, 2012 by milovaný Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottonmama Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Oh, good, I don't have to choose just one! Off the top of my head, I'd say... The cabin by the river that Jayber Crow moved to at the very end. The shire. Avonlea. Any and all of the farms depicted in James Herriot's children's stories.

piraterose Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Someone beat me to Avonlea - So I'll just say Prince Edward's Island in general. It's on my bucket list to go there some day and spend a month writing and enjoying. Oz Fantastica Canby Hall - I wanted to go to school there!

JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 The March sisters' village. The Hundred Acre Wood. Narnia. The Shire. The Secret Garden. The river bank near Toad Hall. Corgiville. Somehow the worlds of those books from a certain period of childhood never quite leave you. For the poster who put The Boxcar--I once went to a camp where we actually slept in remade cabooses rather than cabins. Those books were all I could think of at the time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnsinkableKristen Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 The March house!! I had completely forgotten about that. And The Room of Requirement! And The Boxcar! Sigh.

I'd love to know which Alice print you have; I just bought one and not sure I love it. I was thinking of doing a Wonderland themed loft or library... your kitchen sounds fun!
