Horse Lovers' Country Home

I saw this Country Home and its' out buildings and pastures and thought - SUMMER!  I can almost smell the country air wafting through the windows...and hear the rustling of the stately trees on the property.  Country Home Charmer for the Horse Lover: Rarely do you find a country home built with such character! Walking through the home it is difficult to distinguish
the original farm house from the expansive addition with modern amenities. The care in details, layout and material selection is phenomenal.

More Mugs

This is Marla...
A few days ago, while I was on Facebook and Etsy and found Marlasmud {Marla}.  She is an Artisan
who creates Ceramic Beads, Pendants and Stoneware Mugs.  The Mugs that caught my eye had Paw Prints on them!  After all, I do have 3 PuppyKids - 12 Paws making prints all over the place!  I love the dragonflies on the Mugs, too.


The mugs in both of these collages are beautifully shaped,
have gorgeous handles and have such an attractive glaze on them.

Mansion - Allegan, Michigan

Today's home tour is of a home in Michigan - Allegan Michigan, which is a pretty town and area.  Built in 1884 by lumber baron Horace G. Moore and in a National Register historic district, this stately Eastlake Victorian residence has survived intact. The spacious interior features numerous rooms with beautiful original architectural detailing and high ceilings and provides great flexibility in the use of the spaces. It could house a growing family or become a B&B
or even be used for a home occupation.  In recent years the mechanical systems have been completely reworked to include two heating and cooling systems, hot water on demand, all new wiring, new roof and shingles and new paint on the exterior based on the original color scheme.

There are fascinating details including a curving staircase,two impressive mantels,heat registers,hardware and what was likely a convenient room for ice storage back in the day. The detached garage has a great space above just waiting to be turned into a studio, office or apartment. This is a home for lovers of great historic homes.

Lots of pretty details in this beauty...in the

I always enjoy looking at older homes and often wish I had been able to start my own Bed and Breakfast Inn, which was a dream way back when.  I know some of you will say...It's NEVER too late to follow your dream.  Normally, I would agree and encourage everyone to strive to live their dreams, but hubby is retired and so am I...and I'll be 65 this October {hubby will be 71}.  So at this stage of the game, it's just fun to dream about the B and B idea!

Silly Saturday - Goat and Pups




Pipsqueak and the Pups
What delightful Videos - sweet young Pups all playing with a Goat.  They get along very well,  chasing each other around in the house and outdoors...but they spook each other too.
