I don't have time to night to catch up on all of your lovely life, but I am happy to see the beauty you continue to capture and to hear you continue to speak so lovingly of the Barber.<br /><br />I came across a holiday swing event on Nov. 4 that will be held at Alexander Majors Barn, where you all did Miss Frenchies. I was so excited to hear that it's open for events again I had to contact you and Debbie from Curious Sofa, and Carol Spinski, just to make sure you knew. I would love it if that wonderful show could come back! This new little holiday swing can be found at www.hellolovelyevents.com I've never been, but I'm thinking about it. Has to be a quick decision by the 23 to register. <br /><br />Chasity is doing well. We are still missing our sweet Shauna girl. Her children are amazing and look so much like her. Much love to you and thanks for your inspiring and gentle spirit.<br />Love,Debbie Heck one of the wild raspberry sisters.the wild raspberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15914734365583266636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-23005126529179600132012-05-27T09:10:38.225-05:002012-05-27T09:10:38.225-05:00what a joy to find your blog.....it struck a chord...what a joy to find your blog.....it struck a chord in my heart & my mind......its amazing how one small insignificant "thing" can just change your whole perception of what is in front of your eyes........there are not many who can notice that.....& whos mind is "open" enough to see.

Your history story is wonderful....I wish I knew more about mine, but, alas, not many left to tell me. Your photos, AS ALWAYS, are STUNNING!! Sela: (I'm so glad you don't use Photoshop. I've been visiting a blog with gorgeous photos and come to find out they are photoshoped, so disappointing. Now when I look at her stuff I wonder if it's real.) You capture the true beauty in regular things through the eyes of your camera and it is just breath taking! And I just love the old, weathered homes the best. "Houses that need a hug" as you say! Great shots. And the sky!!! Wow!<br />Hugs from Arizona,<br />MargoMargo@Legacy of a Single Girlhttp://margomohney.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-31765689557855877662012-05-22T11:52:45.370-05:002012-05-22T11:52:45.370-05:00This is such a beautiful post.

When I see photographs of places like this, it haunts me because the home I grew up in was torn down to put in a new office building. There is always heartbreak when we leave a place behind. Email me when you have time, I'm looking so forward to get together in STL with Anne. xoDebra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-43079927367999310642012-05-11T11:58:08.063-05:002012-05-11T11:58:08.063-05:00Your words and photos inspire me and are beautiful...Your words and photos inspire me and are beautiful in every way.

Did you feel tempted to take home the old door ? <br />I would have loved to have seen you carrying that crowbar around, Wish I was walking the grounds this gem was built on. <br />If I were a house this is where I would have wanted to have been built, over looking the beauty of the land listening to its small voice, just listening.<br /><br />Thank you girl for your beauty gracing my place with a beautiful comment.<br /><br />Have a beautiful weekend<br />xoxo<br />DoreBurlap Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134718817693134037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-10838457388056525742012-05-10T23:06:05.639-05:002012-05-10T23:06:05.639-05:00Mmmm . . . gorgeous!

I, too, look at those old, abandoned farms and think of the pride its builders had in building it, the wife as she welcomed friends and family with a beaming smile to her fine new house, and all the work to clear that land (how's that for grit?) and farm it. I wonder about the families it housed, the kids who grew up there, who they were and what they did. And then I wish I had the means to restore it, to let it hear laughter in the halls again...Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881384359274354784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-12633223724348170272012-05-10T17:45:35.056-05:002012-05-10T17:45:35.056-05:00Oh my goodness...I wish I had been with you to dis...Oh my goodness...I wish I had been with you to discover this gorgeous gem.<br /><br />Like you, I see the history, the beauty, the stories this homestead has to share with those perceptive enough to hear them.<br /><br />I love the wondrous take you have on the world, my friend!<br />See you soon!!!<br /><br />XO,<br />AnneAnne Loryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586805595011675799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-57660586268853554512012-05-10T15:07:11.908-05:002012-05-10T15:07:11.908-05:00Beautiful!

I certainly don't, but I have always been so curious about where my family came from and the stories of their past.<br />Thank you for this lovely and thoughtful post and the laugh you gave me about carrying around your crowbar, that's exactly what I would have done:)<br />Have a wonderful weekend.<br />Sincerely,<br />MelindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
