In Rockport, Massachusetts, there’s a real house made of newspapers.

Engineer Elis F. Stenman began building the Paper House in 1922, stacking and pasting together more than 100,000 newspapers into thick walls and doors, then sealing everything with varnish. He later added furniture constructed from rolled newspaper.

It became a two-room summer home — complete with paper furniture inside. By 1927, the house had become a tourist attraction. It is now run as a museum by members of the Stenman family.

A home literally built from the headlines.

Please offer a bit of extra food for the wildlife and other animals having to endure the cold. Cat Kibble won't freeze. Keeping water out and refilling when frozen will help also. Any kind of shelter can save a life. I worked with a rehabber last night who took in an emaciated little boy almost frozen. She worked with him for hours, but he wasn't strong enough. The cold temps take so may lives.

We have a large number of injured right now and I want to thank you all who have donated. Tomorrow we'll be finishing up grabbing extra food and other supplies to prep for the bad weather this weekend into next week. The temps will dip down to 12 degrees some nights which is really cold for us. We're in the south and not use to seeing too much snow or ice. Its not a good idea to be around us attempting to drive on slick roads! LOL. Should we have a rescue, my husband who is from out west and use to several feet of snow will be driving! Please everyone stay safe and remember the little ones out in the cold please!!
