“I don’t like to doze by the fire. I like adventures, and I’m going to find some.” - Jo March, Little Women

Built in the early 1700s, The Wayside has been home to three literary families: the Alcotts, Hawthornes, and the Lothrops. The first literary site added to the National Park Service. The Wayside is the only National Historic Landmark to have been lived in by three well-known literary families. Their home and works span more than three centuries.

The Alcotts, who owned the house from 1845-1852, (before selling to Nathaniel Hawthorne) called it "Hillside." Louisa May Alcott lived here with her parents and her three sisters, Anna (Meg) 14, Elizabeth (Beth) 9, and May (Amy), 4. The four sisters returned to their childhood home in Concord, Massachusetts in Louisa’s 1868 classic, Little Women, where many of the events described in the book happened. ⁣⁣

Did you know we also create custom European planters and plant baskets? This pretty one went out yesterday for someone who FINALLY got her dream job! One she has dreamed about since she was 15!

The planters are so lovely, and we all know how beneficial it is having live plants in your home!

“Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.”

~Alfred Lord Tennyson,-‘Ring Out, Wild Bells’.
