It's so commercial. Puke. If someone can't be more imaginative than that...Give me a handmade card and an unusual flower.<br />Hmmm, it's probably why I'm single.

The chandelier with all the heart...I love it, Nita!<br />The chandelier with all the hearts is amazing and I love your heart with the lock. I have a heart the same but no key. I purchased it at Disneyland in their home decorating store many years ago (probably 15) when my daughter was small, it hangs in my bathroom. I really love what you've done with yours, so nice it's from your sister.<br />I love your blog, want to spend a quiet day with a cup of tea.<br />xo~TracieTracie~MyPetiteMaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115515570349062556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-80748917256940935532011-02-03T20:46:43.641-06:002011-02-03T20:46:43.641-06:00This is the most beautiful Valentine's mantle ...This is the most beautiful Valentine's mantle I have ever seen!<br /><br />Take care,<br />LisaSerendipity Chic Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911571916179023791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-30575315664369872332011-02-03T19:28:19.078-06:002011-02-03T19:28:19.078-06:00So pretty I love the mirror with the flowers!!So pretty I love the mirror with the flowers!!Okie Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616860870097238316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-50388087469799540612011-02-03T14:36:05.954-06:002011-02-03T14:36:05.954-06:00I love the chandelier!

If you'll email me...I'll answer more... nitastacy@gmail.com<br /><br />First you have to love old houses and all their quirks to love living here in Edgemere Park. I grew up in an old house so I knew it would mean lack of closet space and things that need to be repaired. But my home too is one of the smaller ones in the neighborhood and I'd say most have more storage than mine. You have to be prepared to follow historic rules pertaining to the outside of your home. <br /><br />That said...I wouldn't live in any other neighborhood. I love it here.<br /><br />Two of my neighbors came from Edmond (there are plenty of others in the neighborhood) but I know that the two couples I know well that moved here from Edmond - love it. And do not ever want to move back. Both actually thought they would live her temporarily and decided to stay for good. <br /><br />This is a great neighborhood. I have the best neighbors in the world. We all look out for each other. We do have security that patrols the neighborhood which keeps crime down. The next neighborhood over does not have security and yes...they have break ins and what not. And there have been break ins in my neighborhood too. <br /><br />Personally, I would not want to live anywhere else. My best friend moved into the Bell Isle neighborhood three summers ago. She'd always lived in Edmond and she says that it was the best thing her and her husband have done. She hates when she has to drive into Edmond now. <br /><br />But you do have to take precautions....keep your doors locked. Have a security system. Keep valuables put away...like lawn mowers left out WILL disappear. I have not had anything stolen or any problems. But I don't tempt fate. <br /><br />Anyway....email me and I'll answer more questions. There are several houses for sale in the neighborhood now. But there will be more as the weather warms up. <br /><br />Oh...if you have children be prepared for them to go to private school or they need to qualify to get into a charter school. Both Classen and Harding are excellent. I know kids that have gone to Classen and McGinnis and they are getting first rate educations.Nita Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833196166679983378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-55108579167028928822011-02-03T04:51:02.292-06:002011-02-03T04:51:02.292-06:00I am new here, but wanted to say that I have reall...I am new here, but wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog and am looking forward to returning to view more posts. I am from OKC but have always lived on the far northern sides of town and have always been in love with the historical neighborhoods and am looking at buying a home in Edgemere Park. Problem is, my husband is worried about crime and believes it would be safer to stay on the northern part of town, perhaps even Edmond. Edgemere Park seems like such a quiet, beautiful neighborhood. Could you perhaps offer any info regarding crime, safety, and what it is like to live in this beautiful, historical neighborhood. Since I don't know anyone personally who lives in this area of town (other than a realtor) it would be of great help.
