The House that My Great, Great, Great, Great Grandmother Built


Last weekend I visited the house that was built by my Great Great Great Great Grandmother. She built this house and ran the farm, after the death of her husband. It sounds like she was an industrious and strong woman of her time.

The farm, just outside of downtown Romeo Michigan, is now owned by a talented artist, named Bonnie. She also owns and operates The Lambs Tail Antiques out of the beautiful barn located on the property.









The Lambs Tail has great vintage furniture, re purposed antiques, dried wreaths and arrangements, painted furniture and decor items, felted wool pieces and handmade jewelry. It was voted "Michigan's no. 2 Antique Shop". A great honor considering Michigan's Antique Shop population!






If you are in the area, you must stop by. Her barn is filled to the rafters with fantastic treasures.
