I’ve spent the day reviewing the mind boggling amount of photos that I took this past weekend in NC. Of course, I had to start with this one. These are the amazing women who I was lucky enough to spend a few days with. Don’t they all take a great photo? Except me, of course, do you ever like a photo of yourself? Oh well, maybe next time…
Anyway, I’ve been trying to figure out how best to show you our weekend. I have so many photos that I decided it was best to break it up into parts. The natural place to start seemed to be the beautiful cottage where we stayed. Believe me, I could spend many a day and night in that place. Angela, our amazing host, took the cottage from a dark dingy place into the light and airy retreat that it is now. She’s done such a wonderful job, that the cottage is actually being featured in Cottages and Bungalows this month. Enjoy!
When we pulled up, there were at least 6 turkeys in the back yard. I tried to get a photo, but they were too quick!
As you walk in the front door, this is your beautiful view.
Unfortunately, my photos of a couple of the rooms were too dark, so I took these from VRBO.com.
This was my bedroom. So cozy!
Don’t you love that tile?
This is where we hung out and watched the premiere of the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond‘s new show on the Food Network. Did you watch?
And finally, the view…Is there anything better than this?
Well, maybe just this. New friends and old (no jokes here Renae and Rhoda, you know what I mean!) chatting it up.
I hope you enjoyed my tour of Angela’s beautiful cottage. Did you know that she loves to have guests? If you need a relaxing getaway, head over here and make a reservation quick. With all of it’s famous guests, I have a feeling it’s going to be booked up for a while.
Have a great day!
