live thankfully



we are ready for fall out at the family farm!
here are a few decorating ideas from our home to yours...
barn board with white pumpkins, pine cones, leaves and hay 
(which i borrowed from Cover Girl's stall)...

she didn't seem to mind!
assorted white pumpkins on small vintage chair, along with a live thankfully sign, which can be purchased from our Farmhouse booth at BLACKLION.
another great idea - clear vases with mini white pumpkins and pine cones...paired with a few mini orange stripped pumpkins.  most of these items are available at the booth!

and we have just received a new shipment of nora fleming platters with lots of hand painted minis for every season!  check them out at our park road and dilworth locations!


what are your favorite decorating ideas this fall?

welcome to the farmhouse

at the end of a winding gravel driveway in south carolina...
...just beyond the bell perched high...
...and the old garage that doesn't quite fit our SUV's and minivans...
...you'll find our family farmhouse...
we'd love to have you cozied up on the back porch with a glass of sweet tea...
...soaking up the country quiet and the views of horse-filled pastures...
but until you can come for a visit we hope you'll make yourselves right at home here on our blog...where we'd love to share farm life with you.  
...the simple pleasures that fill our home and the acres that surround it.

we hope you'll join us in our journey of 
discovering and creating beautiful things.
