(Pun intended.) One of my favorite stops in Jackson, Mississippi was Eudora Welty’s house…now a museum. Here hanging upside down from its handle with other fans on my curtain rod in my room is a fan I bought there.
Click on photos to enlarge and read captions.
Her house seemed to be left just as it was when she passed away. On the dining room table were pages of a manuscript cut into strips and pinned to the tablecloth… like this was her method of seeing the segments together and reorganizing and editing them. I loved this!!! All of the awards and trophies she had won over the years were tucked away in her clothes closet out of sight to anyone but her. I love her stories and I think I would have loved her.

I have been to Eudora Welty’s house a few times. She was a talented writer and the gardens of her home are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Are her slips of paper still pinned to the dining room table? Hope so.

I don’t know. I missed the tours at Christmas due to illness, but I hope so. The slips of paper are so neat.

I reread many of Eudora Welty’s stories in the past year. They capture me from the start. She was such a keen observer of everything around her. I wish I’d known her.
