it's official. i'm going to move, no arm twisting needed. if fact, i think i might have said 'i'm moving here' about 10 thousand times over the weekend and have already stalked several building firms to potentially work for. penny and i spent this most beautiful, packed yet relaxing time in vermont visiting a friend (with my other lovely friend) who just bought this house, on this property...
seriously? who wouldn't want to wake up to THAT every single morning? penny made some new vermont besties too. i know people take pictures of their dogs doing really cute things from time to time, but these two snuggle up to one another EVERY.SINGLE.TIME they are near each other, it's too cute for words. i told them i'd be happy to dogsit/housesit free of charge any time they needed...
amanda took us all around shelburne farms and to the special places where she spent much of her life (and will in the future!). if you don't think this place is breathtaking then there is something wrong with you...
what else did we do you ask? we spent a little time antiquing here and here (i got a great old white le creuset terrine which i can't wait to use), took a lovely walk down to lake champlain, snooped through a beautiful home, checked in on a bridal event, met some new vermont friends and fell in love with their homes, ate some stinky cheese & drank some local wine, had dinner one night at an older sister's house (who by the way is a serious seamstress- please make me a jacket like your daughters- and cook.i'm going to try to get a few of her recipes to post here soon, you will die from the yummieness) and another night we stuffed our faces at american flatbread. but the best time spent was together, in the car and house, in the mornings and evenings. it was in those moments we got to talk & catch up & learn to love our new friends even more...and life was good.
thank you amanda, jeff, strider & sage for having us... maybe some day soon we will be your neighbors...keep an eye out for our future house!
LOVE all your photos - we so loved having you and Penny and hope you come back soon!!! xxoo
