Hello fellow gorey friends
I moved to boston last year and FINALLY was able to make it to Yarmouth to see his beautiful home yesterday....
it was something i will never forget- very lovely and not what I expected
its not overly marketed and something you
have to be on the watch out for. I was kind of expecting it to be more obvious and lines of people.
first off there is a MASSIVE magnolia tree on the rear side of his home, very rare and unseen in new england with
our frigid temps.
its scent and blooms were transcending.
my family has one on our farm in missouri and when i got out of the car and saw it, I felt so at home.
they have a sculpture of the doubtful guest in the backyard that made me smile.
the house was wonderful, and they have a huge fat cat there to roam the house they rescued, he fit right in.
its a small tour but to see his amazing big silver rings and pendants and his little sewn creatures and original
works was just amazing. the kitchen was great, lots of rocks on the counters and glass bottles as how he kept it.

going to his home is for the true gorey fan, i want to go back just to feel what i felt again. the visit took me somewhere
else outside of this realm if you know what i mean. his presence was felt there and it made me love him even more.
i will post some of the pics i took while there.
