Actually, this is only the third blog I have started. </p><p>Here on my Gallery, I intend to create an index of my favourite artworks, castles, stately homes, gardens, etc. - in short any beautiful thing or place that I love. This blog will be for my own reference as much as anything - a place to keep a record of my favourite artists, and the places that I would love to visit someday.</p><p>Well, here goes!</p><p>~Elise</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2891893184212865154-6937467310922366789?l=enchantedgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Editrixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01184804847476554759noreply@blogger.com2
