Hi Folks!
Well, the end of our time here in CT is coming to an end ~
a bittersweet time for us...
hate to leave my our hometown and family....
but
the anticipation of going home is always the sweet part.
Here are a few snaps that Hannah took for me when we were at The Country Mill on Friday last ~
Linda Manna's picture-perfect shop |
the porch of my dreams |
Old Glory |
a beautiful welcome to Linda's shop through her beloved little garden |
ok ~ so compared to Linda, I am a giant. I have to bend down to give here a squeeze, but a hug from my sweet friend is well worth the effort!! |
Linda prepared a wonderful spread for us with teas, lemonades ~ fruit salad and sweet treats :) |
here I am! |
Linda carries many primitive/colonial/country decor items in her shop, and she has always been true to her beloved community by sharing local artisans wares ~ |
I could have moved into this cubby/pantry filled with needful things ~ |
be still my heart ~ |
candles, lamps, textiles...pillows soaps and all kinds of good things! |
Linda behind her shop's front counter ~ |
signing one of my books for a friend ~ notice that Linda also carries beautiful jewelry too!! |
I am fortunate to have Linda as a true friend ~
her hospitality and personality are beyond sweet & I cherish her friendship.
If you get a chance to visit her in beautiful, historic Newton/Sandy Hook Connecticut,
please do ~ and tell her I sent ya!
pardon the knobby knees please ;) |
Hannah & I will be leaving CT on Tuesday ~
heading back home to Virginia where my true love waits for me...
and my kittens. and puppy....
donkeys, chickens.
sheep, peacock ~ guinea hens.
* Blessed be *
