White Wednesday ~

White Phlox would have been just perfect for my wedding.

32 Years ago today...

We

Were Married~

Still loving the sleeves on my wedding dress,

...the ribbon sash,

...lacey bodice,

...ribbon tie in the back,

...the train,

...and my handmade veil~

Who would have thought

we would be at this time in our lives

so soon.

Seems like just yesterday.

The years have flown by so fast.

Although I must confess...

we

ELOPED.

Never got to wear my dress

so sad I know...

what WAS I thinking.

{who knows at the age of 18}

The pure white color has mellowed to

a soft cream,

and it hangs upstairs in my guest room

It is still beautiful to me today.

Please visit Faded Charm blog for more

beautiful White Wednesday posts.

Roses & Teacup Tuesday~

I told Kim over at Shabby Pink and Pretty

that I would participate in Teacup Tuesday today.

I decided to share some of my mini teacups that have

pretty rose patterns. {I do apologize if I have shared

any of these before...I am getting so forgetful these days}

I adore this antique teacup with it's pink rose pattern. It sets in my studio and holds buttons and other odds and ends~

My best friend gave this small teacup set to me one year for a birthday gift. It belonged to her grandmother and I cherish it ~ Love this cute teacup that is on a shelf in my bathroom. One day it fell and the handle broke off, but I was able to glue it back on and you can't tell that it was ever broken. I have been running so much lately with my dad and all that I am very thankful to have today at home. I do not plan on going anywhere. I need to catch up on some much needed rest. Thank you again for all your prayers. God is answering and we are very grateful. Blessings~

Mini Getaway...Part Three ~

I promised you a few more photos of our getaway at the

Kimmell House Inn

and I had to include the breakfast.

First they brought us a plate of banana bread

and a large bowl of mixed fruit...

Strawberries,black raspberries

{or blackberries - not sure which},

grapes,cantaloupe and blueberries.

SO YUMMY~

This is how the banana bread was presented to us.

So pretty~ Next they brought out Belgian waffles, bacon,

cottage potatoes, orange juice and coffee.

It was all so delicious!

{bummed that I didn't get pictures of all the food}

We ate in this dining room. at the table in front of the window~

This is the coffee bar behind part of an old piano.

Unique and neat idea~

Just look at these fabulous legs on the piano. GORGEOUS~

This room just off of the dining room houses a gift shop

which is kept stocked with lots of goodies.

If you are ever in the area you must check them out...

I know you will love it as much as we did~ Blessings~

Mini Getaway ...Part Two ~

The Master Suite ~

We ascended the gorgeous spiral staircase to our room

THE MASTER SUITE at the top of the stairs ~Our bedroom for the night ~

Love the bowed windows, lace curtains

and the four poster bed~

Amazing victorian furniture ...

...beside our bed ~

The piece de resistance...

two pieces of delicious vanilla cake

with raspberry filling

awaited us when we entered ~

This is a smaller room off of our room for extra guests...

we didn't take anyone extra.

It was just US ~

Antique wicker doll carriage in the extra room~

The Kimmell House Inn...

The room we stayed in is just below the peak .

The great part for us is that both times we have stayed here

we had gift certificates. I wouldn't mind

gettting that gift every year....*hint hint* {to my kids} lol.

I highly recommend this B and B for a lovely getaway.

{and they did not tell me to say that...lol}

The hospitality and atmosphere is just wonderful.

Tomorrow I will share more photos of the inside.

Blessings~

Mini Getaway {Kimmell House Inn}~

We planned a mini getaway a few weeks ago at the

Kimmell House Inn

{my cousin's gorgeous Italianate bed and breakfast}

and as it turns out our reservation was for last night.

I didn't know if we would be able to go

because of my dad's health,

but he is home and doing better

{plus my siblings are home now as well}

so it worked out after all~

This is a shed and flowers on their property~

Looking over their back yard fence...

The have built a new house behind the B and B ~

Gorgeous arbor and flowers~

Huge fountain, but alas... the water has not been hooked up yet ~

This patio set greets us on the front porch~

If you click on the Kimmell House Inn link and then click on Master Suite...that is the room we stayed in this time.

We had a wonderful relaxing time and can't wait to go back again.

I did get a few more pictures that I will be sharing soon.

Blessings~
