STORY
Hidden deep in the untouched forests of Sweden, stood Elsa's secluded cabin - the only home she had ever known. It was handed down to her by her parents and grandparents, and for Elsa, it was a sacred place where she embraced the traditional way of life that had been passed down through generations.
In this isolated sanctuary, Elsa and Lars lived off the land, relying solely on themselves for survival. They tended to their own garden, generated their own power, and even collected their own water supply. Their only contact with the outside world was a monthly trip to the nearest town for supplies.
Despite living in solitude, they found contentment in their simple way of life. That is until Lars unexpectedly passed away when they were still young.
Left alone in her secluded cabin, Elsa spent decades in isolation until her passing in 2003. With no one to inherit her belongings, everything was left behind - including her car rusting in the backyard and all the treasured memories held within the walls of her isolated dwelling.
Venturing into the depths of the woods, we sought out Elsa's long-lost home. Join us on this journey as we uncover the final chapter of her remarkable story.

The handmade doily with the monogram and year (1921) hanging on the wall were Elsa's initials and the year she was born. Most likely someone made it for her and gave it as a gift and that's why it's hanging on the wall instead of being on a tabletop or the top of a dresser. The photos on the walls were not from the 1800s, they were from the early 1900s. In the 1800s they had what was called a Tintaype, the photos were superimposed onto a very thin piece of tin. By the early 1900s, they went to a thicker paper they called Matte before ultimately moving on the a thinner paper type with a layer of gloss over them to add shine to the photos that reflected light. I used to be a photographer so I have some knowledge of the history of photographs. I do believe that was Elsa in that photo. It would make sense if she was raised in the house with her parents so that would mean that photo was printed sometime in 1922.
Maybe Elsa made the doily herself at school? Could be made to learn embroidery? I think that that can be te reason that there are several different fonts used. And about the picture with the woman with the cat on her lap; the tree can be the same fruittree that is still in Elsa's garden.
@@meerhartog things like that is usally a batism gift or being born gift or simular . Also made to be on the wall and it's not a table cover
Det var trevligt att få insikt i. Tack för din utförliga kommentar och rättelse. ❤
@@meerhartog Oh sure, Elsa most definately could have made it for her. And true the fruit tree could b the same one. My grandparents home that was built in 1912 and they had a weeping willow tree in their front yard for over 100 years before it was taken down and many photos from different generations were taken under that tree.
Hello from Sweden, the hat is a student graduation hat. The flowers on the hat is called mayflower, swedish school children sell them in benefit for charity.
I’m so glad that you mentioned about this as I learned about those hats a couple of years ago. I think that I like those so much more than what I have had in America with the cap and gown tradition.
More accurately, this is a hat worn by students at Swedish technical universities. After 4 to 5 years of study, they graduate and become civil engineers. For German speakers, it corresponds to Diplom-Ingenieur.
säljer man majblommor än? trodde sånt var ute för längesen
@@staffanscherloff4596I have a hat like that and I didn't go to any kind of school you mentioned.
@@alexanderlindquistjodå dom gör ny design varje år och säljer!
The houses were having low ceiling because to keep warm during winter. Nice small house.
Thank you for honoring Elsa’s life. What a lovely tribute.
This isolated life can be the best for some. Just what makes them feel at peace
Nothing like a simple life back in the day in Europe. Lots of work to sustain oneself but it preserves your sanity. Family was everything back in the day and old people died surrounded by their family not in retirement homes. ❤
I don't want to be surrounded by anyone when I'm dying, I want privacy and massive amount of drugs, why put anyone through that?, it's not pretty and can drag on and on, although I stayed with my Gram and would do it for her again and again, it's just not for me
@@johnf1121agree , ppl add painto the pain and give petty that is not needed .
Just enjoy that awesome little home
Too bad a family member wouldn't take over the home and take care of it so sad
Rest easy Elsa, thank you for letting us explore your history 💜
Ceilings were low to conserve heat and the fuel used for heating, not necessarily because people were of less height 😉
Thanks for explaining about the low ceiling. I thought that was very unusual.
As much as my gas bill has gone up this winter, I wish I my ceiling was that low.👍
How did you hear of this cottage?
What an honour to tell a story of a life long gone. Bless those that have past on. Respect. We now want so much in this 'modern life'. But do we actually miss things now and expect too much without realising the blessings along the way?
Exactly
Wow! I really wish I could buy & restore Elsa's adorable little home back to its former glory! Some people now couldn't bear to live in solitude like Elsa did. For me, it would be a dream come true! Just me, hubby, animals & nature. YES PLEASE!
Great great grandparents came from Jonkoping & I will visit there someday in the nearish future!
Have you looked into how much it would cost? Who owns it?
She didn’t live in isolation. These guys are using their biases to guess about how other people lived. They don’t know what they talk about.
I love that they remember the departed. Everyone that has lived should be remembered.
Hello from USA . What a sweet cozy home. A very simple life.❤
The large Bible is called a Family Bible it has pages for families marriages,births,anniversaries etc.A real family record.My mom had one That's a lovely home.You are wonderful Lesley and Danny.👍❤️🇺🇸
Yes, what lessons many Americans could learn from such a simple and precious life❤❤❤😊
I agree this tiny home was sweet
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would live here in a minute. With the right guy that could be a partner.
The upstairs room, beside the spinning wheel there seems to be a reel to wind the finished yarn onto. The "big sewing machine" looks like a small loom, for weaving, probably rug panels. The prongs with handles may be distaffs, they hold carded wool or other fibers, ready for spinning. The long poles, in the rafters with fabric strips tacked to them are definitely part of an old quilting frame. When you make a quilt, the quilt top, batting and a back are basted together in a sandwich. The short sides are pinned or basted to the fabric strips and one side is wound up on a pole. There should be two sets of legs, with a cross bar with brackets and a ratcheting latch that the poles are placed in. With the poles being about 18 in. apart. It keeps tension on the quilt sandwich to make it easier to sew. You quilt or tie the quilt across the available area and then roll the finished part onto the empty pole and unroll the full one. Adjust, tighten the ratches, and quilt the next area. Continue doing that till everything is quilted, then unpin or unbaste the edges. Then edges are trimmed and a bias binding is sewn around to finish edges. Winter work ! I have an antique quilting frame like that. They came apart when not in use for easy, out of the way storage.
good info, thanks
A lovely glimpse into a past life lived with grace and dignity. Elsa's home was loved and her garden well tended and beautiful, seen from the image of her tending roses in the garden. Our gains in modernising and technology improved our living and health standards but our connection with nature and animals and community was broken, bringing a different set of perils for mankind.
Thanks for your gentle and thought provoking view of Elsa's life & house.❤
It's always emotional to watch explorations of old houses where so many beautiful memories are still well preserved. I love Elsa's family photos and her books ! She must have loved her husband so much that she decided to live a life of solitude till the end, after his death! It takes a lot of bravery and hard work to live in the wilderness ,I think! I love how gentle and respectful you are with these people's personal items ,Lesley!❤
Thank you for sharing this touching life story!
Hello from Sweden! The hat you found is a student hat from Chalmers technical university as you can see from the emblem in front. The tradition is to put one flower for each year you study. The two knots on the rope down to the tassel should be separated if you are single or put together if you have a partner. This hat is still used today and I have an identical one. So the person who used this was single and studied three years 😉
Cool 😎
Thats lovely!
She certainly had a nice life so close to nature, she loved her peace and quiet and was certainly very happy
21:35 that's called a commode chair. With no bathroom in the house, it would have been very handy, but would require constant emptying to keep odors to a minimum.
31:30 is a loom for weaving cloth, not a sewing machine. 35:35 another loom.
32:10 that's the roller to begin the cloth weave.
It appears that Elsa was a very creative lady. First she spun her own yarns, and then she wove those yarns into fabric. I didn't see a sewing machine, so maybe she sold her cloth by the yard, or maybe she wove rugs. That could be how she supported herself after the passing of her husband.
It's always sad to see that so many personal things left behind once someone died.
God bless you Elsa and thank you for your loving home for us to see. Thank you Lesley always enjoying your channel ❤❤
It's actually sweet this way as the house becomes a sanctuary. In many other countries they steal everything and destroy the houses
Cross country skiing is the term you were looking for.
Cool spot! Im jealous of Elsa
The long Iron thing on the Wall i called a Bessman! You used it to find out what weigh a fish, Meat, or antingen have.
I think Elsa looks lovely. A kind and pretty face.
God Bless Elsa, you had a beautiful home.❤
The "stick" on the wall, is called bessman (besman/betsman) and its a type of scale.
And the bathtub in the open are for sure to livestock, horse or cows. In the woodshed there was nettings from hay rolls.
I’m so happy that you found time to give Elsa a Voice - and she spoke to thousands of people! The love story of Elsa and Lars, the vivid imagery of Elsa’s ancestors.
Right into old age, Elsa kept herself and her home immaculate. I wish someone would renovate this, keeping its character and allowing the ghosts of bygone ages to live in peace with the new inhabitants.
I absolutely love how respectful you guys are for the belongings....all the memories just rotting away is so sad.
This women had everything that was truly important
Living with Nature means you are never alone, as lively birds trees and even some animals are there for you
Being that Elsa lived a life in relative silence with her deaf parents, the cacophony of sounds in a busy city may have been jarring to her. Love all the photos she kept and how you guys are respectful of the things that meant something to the deceased owners.
That thing you think you stomp something with is a scale instrument for weight call besman .
Here we call it a barn scale
im swede and my great grandmother lived like this her entire life in the forest, most of my relatives lives in forest like this i love it its peaceful
They set the dobbel Windows on place in the winters,we have it here in Norway too in the old dags😊
I am just blown away regarding on how respectful you are towards the house, the belongings and the history. You guys restored a bit of faith in humanity for me. Thank you for this.
In two decades you can't imagine how many locals has visited that house. They left everything as it was. That's respect.
I paused for a sec to read the postcards! 😍 Seems like Elsa lived a active life. She went to “logdans” and were always busy. Logdans is a traditional folk dance. 😊
The embroidery on the wall with “ES” stands for Elsa S(last name). The dresser with the mirror is called “pigtittare” and Piga means maid, tittare means watcher/lookout.
The hat on the dresser is a students hat. 😀 I love your videos and I think you show a lot of love and respect for the places you visit! ❤️🙌🏻
Actually the postcard is written in a humorous fashion to a cat from it's "mum" who has heard that the cat has been out dancing. She tells the cat to stay at home with "dad" and not to make her worried. That's what I got out of it.
Randomly, I don’t think she was totally alone. I think something would have made her stay, the fact that she had a car means she would have met up with the towns people on the occasion and learned to drive plus all the other activities to invest her time in. A lovely story though and yes the embroidery is a big thing for most…
I have Swedish ancestry. This is a lot like my grandpas house that has been changed a bit. We were able to go visit. The stove was also the old way of heating the house. It is a public space now so I was trying to figure out the kitchen. This is it! This makes the house make sense. That wooden beer mug is very old. Later on they were made of silver. This is how most Swedes once lived. I love it! My family was a little in that generation so makes sense with the ceilings. My grandma was only 4 ft 11 inches. I now own the gold clock our family had. Love it!
It's a shame that no one purchases the home and property to restore it and save some of her beautiful memories
The wooden machine you saw upstairs behind the door was a machine for weaving. By the looks of it, they most likely raised sheep or another animal that the fur could be made into yarn or thread with a spinning wheel (the 1st wooden machine upstairs) & then woven into something. They might have sold those items to make money in town so they could buy what they couldn't make at home. Great video!
I can imagine that my Swedish ancestors could have lived in a home like this, I am related to Peterssons too! My relatives came to the Chicago area in 1850.
Hallo from Sweden 😊 The hat with the swedish colours inside is a graduation hat. And if the flag is'nt up it doesnt mean that the house is empty 😅 Thanks for showing us around Europe and all these wonderful places ❤
The spinning wheel is a Saxony style wheel for spinning and or plying wool.The long wooden kind of bars above your head with some material on them was for probably rug hooking or quilting. When not in use to take it apart and store them. From some of the photographs the surrounding land looked well cared for.
I saw at least 10 items identical to items my grandparents owned and brought to America. My father came here in 1957, Grandparents followed in 1968.
Hi Lesley & Danny, 😊 In Sweden a Beautiful Little Abandoned House of 19 Yrs in the Woods of Elsa`s Life!!
The House was so Cute & Many Pictures & Furniture that should be Saved!!
At the Ghost Abandoned Town, Ruth showed her Flag on the house, but Elsa shows it in Hats!!
The Pills You found Catapresan 150mg Controls High Blood Pressure & Falken Tablets (Russia) for Joint & Muscular Problems...
they are like Ibuprofen Pills!
The book with Plants from the Yard is called a Scrapbook @ 23:87
Upstairs is Not a Old Sewing Machine...it`s a Old Antique Wood Weaving Machine...Making Blankets @ 31:00 & 31:31
Thanks Lesley & Danny for Sharing This Abandoned House, Other Buildings & Elsa`s Car with All of Us!!💖
Have a Safe Trip to Your Next Journey!!❤ Have a Wonderful Evening & Week!! ❤😎✌
Love You Both, Barb from Central Illinois USA❣
Thanks, Lesley and Danny, what a lovely little house! I can imagine that little lady living all alone. I wonder if she ever had a pet for company after her dear husband passed away.
I believe she had a cat. There was cat food in the cupboard.
Love seeing things like this in Sweden. My maiden name is Peterson also. My great grandparents were from there.
Your swedish relatives don't happen to live in Connecticut, are they?
I Love that you are visiting my old home country, Sweden. The hats with the swedish collors inside, is student hats and they were worn at graduation.
Please, why is that curtain on the wall in the kitchen with a towel behind it?
@@brigittegeorg It's just decoration to avoid seeing the towels
@@saxon1x Aha! Thank you for telling me that. I did wonder if this was so. 🤩
We have no idea what loneliness is until you imagine this wonderful strong lady had to endure after her husband passed away ". She must have wept for years there, God bless her " .
Or she did a happy dance 😂
The black Technologist cap is a student cap that is usually worn by technologists. The technologist cap is a variant of the student cap, which is distinguished by the fact that the right side of the technologist cap is extended into a tongue, in which hangs a string studded with tassels. Elsa had a son
What a poignant exploration of Elsa's secluded life. It's both haunting and touching to witness the remnants of her existence preserved in this forgotten cabin. Thank you for sharing her story with such reverence.
Thank you for all the respect you show when you go through these homes… Elsa looks like she had a lovely little home…
I ❤️ the respect you give these homes!
My great great grandparents was born and raised in Sweden. They came to the states to raise their family in Texas.
Awww how awesome
I love how you are so respectful and caring about Elsa’s home and belongings. ❤
Europe has much history. I love watching you guys.
Thank you for treating her home with respect❤️
The cap with the tassel is one you get with your PhD.
We had that exact same wallpaper, yellow, orange, white, brown flowers...flash back to the 60's.
The heavy pole looks like one used to break ice for ice fishing. That long ago maybe to get drinking water
Oh, wow, that’s really interesting about the metal “thingy” for breaking ice 😮
The other wooden frames found upstairs and in the “outhouse” are looms, for weaving the wool after spinning.
What an amazing life of truly living “off the grid” and being self sufficient ♥️what an amazing woman!
@@janwatson340 it looks like a scale. you would hold the little sliding handle and put a bucket on the hook. then move the bar from side to side until its horizontal.
@@janwatson340the folks of old didn't know they were living off grid! They were just simply living, and being grateful! I'm jealous of her lovely simplicity❤
@@random-vids5167 exactly, it is a hand hold balance scale for weighing things, e.g. fish.
It is actually called Steelyard balance and this one is the Scandinavian variant:
"A Scandinavian steelyard is a variant which consists of a bar with a fixed weight attached to one end, a movable pivot point, and an attachment point for the object to be weighed at the other end. Once the object to be weighed is attached to its end of the bar, the pivot point, which is frequently a loop at the end of a cord or chain, is moved until the bar is balanced. The bar is calibrated so that the object's weight can be read off directly from the position of the pivot. This type is known in Sweden, Denmark and Norway and Finland." (Wikipedia)
The little case for the slippers is so cute! When visiting in winter I always have a pair of pretty satin slippers to put on at the host's house :)
Very nice simple life God bless 🙏 Elsa r.i.p
The “sewing machine” is a loom for weaving blankets, rugs,
On this loom, only ribbons are woven
Floor looms were/are very common in Sweden. In the centre upstairs room there are definitely various loom parts (lamms, treadles) and also an inkle loom. The two long pieces of wood stored in the ceiling cavity/rafters outside the room look like the front and rear loom beams. The rest of the loom pieces are stored in the bathroom in the shed.
I enjoyed exploring this home with you both. I'm sure her energy is there with you. RIP Elsa and family.
Those are called cross country skis. I love this pretty little home!
Love Sweden. Elsa's house is simple but lovely. Loved the old photos. Too bad it can't be used as vacation rental. Cross country skies. Thank you Leslie and Danny.❤
Someone probably already mentioned this in the comments, but the coins you were looking at werent 10 swedish kronor, but 10 swedish ören-so what cents are to americans. So 10 öre is the equivalent of 0,1 swedish kronor.
anybody want to give it up to elsa who figured out this might be a good alternative
Hi! The red paint is called Falu rödfärg. Historically Sweden had alot of copper mines with Falu copper mine being the biggest. Actually the biggest copper mine in the world in the 1700th. When you break copper you get a bi-product that you can use to make red paint with. There was red houses in Sweden before 1700 but it was pretty exclusive. Most wooden houses was just oil painted. But then the company behind Falu copper mine decided to organise and industrialise the red paint making in the 1700th. Thus the trend of red houses took off and kept growing for the next centuries to come. Therefore all the red houses in Sweden. Just a little history lesson for you guys!😉 Anyhow nice vid really great! And the other ones I've seen with you! Keep up the good work cheers!😄😊✌️🫶
Thank you 🙏
Tack för fin film! Thank you for a nice movie. The "besman våg" that hang by The door 22:00 is a scale with which you weigh things.
Hello from South Africa. I'd like to live in a home like this.❤
This story made me cry, to think of this lovely lady being born, living, and dying alone in this place. May she R.I.P. Thank you for your caring and respect.
The karhu skis is ordinary skis from Finland from 1970's. Karhu means bear. Lovely little house❤
Hi guys, I noticed that there was an electric lamp sitting in the upstairs window. Guess it was for decoration.
Thanks for another awesome video!
Another lovely look at the past in this pretty little house. Thank you for your respect and talking about Elsa with love ❤
What a precious little house . The contents need preserved !!!
It's so beautiful and cozy. Perhaps someone will buy and restore this. I pray my garden is lush and beautiful this year and makes provisions easier. Everything is so expensive these days. 🥰 Rest well, Elsa. Cross Country Skiing is what we call that in the U.S. You are very Respectful of her home. That is very kind.
It’s amazing no bAd people , No burglars, ....everything is well preserved. In the way Elsa did them❤️❤️❤️
Great video! The skis are for cross-country skiing. It was common for old Bibles to have a binding lock. In America, it was common in the olden days to write the family's genealogical information in the front or back. The windows are storm windows that are put up in the winter and taken down in the spring. Curious as to why you don't open drawers?
Those "stange wooden things" are looms used to make heavy fabric which wre used to nake tugs, upholstery, clothing. You meed to jave Dani turn the camera in the intro. 💙💛 This series as my grandfather vame from Sweden. Tack för de underbara bilderna på mitt arv!
På vinden är det en bandvävstol
@@kristinajoelsson9337Vad för band vävde man med den då?
Love the cozy red tiny house 🏡 Can't wait to see this marvelous documentary ❤
I'm from Sweden. My mom is 86 and she had exactly the same slippers. I remember them well from my childhood. When she went to visit someone she brought them with her in that little bag.
I’m surprised there haven’t been more spinning wheels and looms found in these old homes. Lovely lovely home. Thank you.
Those slippers in the
purse were popular
in the early 1960s I used
to have some back then
they were called pixies.
FYI. On Long Island New York there are abandoned mansions from the Guilded Age. There are places in Rhode Island as well. The Notheast has abandoned mansions and buildings. Sadly many have been demolished.
Be careful not to get arrested.
Thankyou so much for making this video ❤ I'm in Australia 🇦🇺 and I found it interesting as well as sad to think all of Elsa's photos and personal things are left there. I hope anyone else going inside will respect them as well. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✨️✨️✨️
I enjoyed this video so much! My grandma was born and grew up in a little red house like this in Sweden, and exploring the inside of the house gave me a hint of what the inside of her family home may have looked like. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Two things I think I may be able to answer. The cast iron rod with the stomping end, I believe was to push buring wood back in the oven and heater so new forewood could be placed by hand while it was still burning. Now that Renault ill bet has sat there since about 1970 and Elsa more than likely was driving a car newer than that when she passed away in 2003. From 2003 to present day its not likely anyone was still using that car and it wouldnt be in a way that a door and fender fell off of it. The car she was using was probably already taken by someone
J'adore vos visites de maisons abandonnées et surtout votre façon charmante de déplacer les objets et les remettre à leur place initiale. Merci.
Nice to see that nothing has been changed or destroyed since I was there last, this is a real time capsule.😍
Hello Lesley this tiny house was so cute. Elsa from.all.that you shared lived a beautiful simple life. I enjoyed looking at a precious time capsule
So beautifully and respectfully done- I enjoyed the tour through Elsa’s house 🏠
Very interesting documentary Lesley and Danny - portraying the humble but innovative life of Elsa. I would’ve loved to have met this strong, capable woman able to totally care and support herself in a somewhat remote area. I loved seeing her spinning wheel and her tiny kitchen. It’s difficult for me, being in the USA living in a large home with every convenience there is, to try and place myself in Elsa’s environment for even a second! We’ve lost the ability to be content with “little”. I personally, couldn’t be happy in total seclusion. Thank you both for another great video and taking us with you! Love your utmost respect for the individual’s property and their belongings.
Hey hey, dear Lesley, lovely small house with the beautiful reddish colour and white painted window frames, reminding me of similar houses in Finland. - Very heartbreaking and deeply touching background story about that lady who was living there alone. - Looking very much forward to your lifestream, bro! Peace, many hugs and kindest regards from Switzerland.
8:28 love the clock 10:11 nice dresser 17:35 only one small wood burning stove for the entire place & no electricity. What a simple & secluded life for sure.
Oih what little lovely home this 🏠🏡🌳🌲🍃🍃🌾🌺🌾⚘🌳💞And sad this old Woman is long..very sad😌🌅🕊Thank you guys very much this project. 📹🤗Finland friends 🍃⚘
Thank you so much for your videos of abandoned homes. They say so much about the way of life in different regions of different countries. The people and their stories behind those abandoned homes are fascinating. The carvings on pieces of furniture and interiors are fantastic. Many of the houses you featured are in remote areas. I often wonder how they shipped furnitures and other supplies to the houses. Watching the videos you make is like traveling back in time. This cannot be taught in history or sociology classes. Thank you so much.🙂❤👍
The Swedish countryside is full with houses like this, A reminder of times past, of a Sweden that will never return.
Not only Sweden, any country which allows or allowed migrants are gone. That too who belongs to different religion, the nature is totally gone and never return unless otherwise they are totally eliminated. Hope you understand.
It could
People everywhere have become.complacent,...so sad😢@@spmoran4703
who wants to live like this anyways? like animals. all alone in a forest. except for swedes themselves. but no onder rhe majority of swedes are depressed and live on depression pils.
Why can it not return? This is still very much the Swedish way of life
Love the needle work art on piece of cloth on top of first cabinet ❤ I’m sure it was done by Elsa 😊
RIP Elsa 😢 😔 🙏 🕊 ☮ 😌. Her home is very cozy. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 ❤❤
The object that hangs next to the door is called a besman in Swedish and is used to weigh food, such as potatoes
Hello Lesley and Danny
I’m glad to see another Sweden 🇸🇪 video ❤❤❤
Thank you for going to Sweden and giving me a glimpse of life lived there. I have Swedish on both lines of my family who immigrated to the United States in 1870 and 1890. So thank you again for covering this. ❤❤
I finally got to see the whole video. I'm surprised that the weaving loom was in such a small space. It looks like the last person to drive that car ran into the tree. It's interesting to think about how she learned to talk when there was no one near her who spoke. Nice video, thanks.
Love the Sweden folks. Most dedicated hard-working loyal intricate people you will ever meet. They believe in their culture and saving the land. She had lots of peace and tranquility. Bless her soul. She is happy. 🤍🕊️🤍
I also for years watched Talasbuan family, they have a UA-cam channel my heart and soul goes out to that family. If I want to be adopted they would be the ones I choose. Visit them maybe someday. ❤
Hello from Morristown Tennessee
Beautiful little cottage. Elsa loved her husband parents and g parents by the look of it. Photos everywhere and looks like she kept all her postcards to. They are all around her little home so that would have been something really important to her. I wonder what lead her to live alone in isolation this way. It would be very interesting to find out her story. I hope this little home is not left to much longer to decay with its contents. It is a ladys life and means something. Surely there is even a distant relative who can help and save Elsas home. Thank you guys for showing a part of history. Eod Bless you and God Bless Elsa.
Gorgeous little home. It's sad she lost her husband & she lived alone the rest of her life.
She had no Electric, she lived a very simple life.
You can tell exactly where Lesley walked from the, now white, tracks on the ceiling;-)
Beautiful film boys, thanks for sharing it in such a respectful manner.
Cheers from France
