Snug As A Bug in a Rug.........

Monday morning...and all is well with the world....the weather is still warmish ...but the birds don't seem to mind ..neither do I later in the week we should top out around 75 or so...I'LL TAKE IT'........So girls how are you today...I have some pictures to share with you of an Estate Sale we went to this weekend. There were 5 or so in our area...all of them were charming in their own way...we spent hardly any money but came home with some of my favorite TREASURES...This house I'm sharing was so unusual it sat on somewhat of a hill in a normal neighborhood that was probably 25 or so years old...BUT...this house was surrounded by at least 1/2 acre of property nestled in the woods with a babbling brook running through the front yard...so charming...

We arrived early in the morning....very overcast a little drizzle...which only added to the quaint quality of the property...I couldn't help thinking the house looked so snug...tucked into the landscape ...it was lovely....as we walked up to the door to go in my heart skipped a beat that house was talking to me...."Hey come on in...I'm full of GREAT STUFF"...and she was....I have more pictures of what was inside for tomorrow...the outside was calling to me as loudly as the inside....

I'm not sure you get the full perspective in these photos of how layered with knolls ....ravines...natural pockets of landscape the yard had.... it went on and on....this property seemed to be telling a story ....

As I strolled down the lawn toward the trees...the brook below was calling to me...I heard frogs...crickets...birds...and bugs singing a joyous song that called me further into their world...everyone else was passing me by..on a mission to GET INSIDE...it didn't matter...I heard something special calling ....I was content to GIVE MYSELF PERMISSION to answer with quiet....expectant steps toward the sounds and smells of an almost secret garden....

There were bridges....foot paths....brick roads ( not yellow) but fun to follow just the same

Everywhere I looked ...I half expected to see Fairies floating through the air ....or lifting off this piece of driftwood

I couldn't help but wonder as I looked around how long it took  to create all this ENCHANTMENT...

We have arrived....they were very clear about WHERE to enter

This was the 4 car garage....our hunt began ...I will share more of the inside tomorrow be blessed today girls ....know that the Lord loves you this Magnificent Monday....I think your pretty swell too...hugs Karena

  3. Karena- What a great estate sale! I love the exterior of the house and the grounds...oh my! I would have a hard time dragging myself into the sale either. Wouldn't you love to live on that little piece of Heaven? xo Diana
