pretty home

Steve and I stopped by a craft sale at a lovely home in Henrico Va.. A Georgian style home built in 1952 on mountain road.  Mountain road as it is called because it was the main road taken to the mountains of Virginia.
George Washington's military headquarters in Newburg, New York is what this home is modeled after. (info taken from their blog site)
Simple green wreaths adorned with a velvet red fluffy  bows. I think that is what I will put on my wreaths at the windows this year.

I didn't stand back far enough to capture the whole house for a picture.  Ground was wet after some drizzling rain earlier, so I got several pictures up close.






Steve purchased this pretty bluebird painting for his office





Outside vendor selling barbecue, so good.

just a tid bit

I know Halloween is over and I meant to post this picture before but didn't  upload in time.   I think this is just a cute idea I saw while having lunch in Aunt Sarah's pancake house a few days before Halloween.
A giant spider web made from orange mini lights. 
The fall arrangement on top is so cute also.


Oh yes, cousin John's fried chicken is delicious.  Need to get their breading.


Steve had pancakes and eggs for lunch

til next time
