SNOW WHITE & ROSE RED / A TALE OF TWO SISTERS

Escape into an enchanted land. Look past the thorns to the magic that draws you in.

Twenty years ago, Mary and Liz got deeply involved in the idea of someday living next to each other, with a shared garden space connecting their houses. You can see us discussing our plans in the picture to the left.

All grown up, though we do not live next to each other (or even in the same state), this is our virtual space to bring that to life. Now you can visit each of us, and our fairy tale garden that connects us.

We are sisters, writers, and lovers of fairy-tale.
