Snap Thursday - Vintage Charm

in

During our stay in upstate New York.  The Floating Farmhouse we rented was a dream come true for anyone that loves country charm and vintage objects.  Our rental was a full contrast between modern touches and the long lost charm of a country farmhouse in the 1800’s.  The landlord, Tom Givone played these details thoughtfully, filling little corners around the house with these small tokens of the past and constantly reminding us of our storybook setting.

This fan was in our master bedroom - and while it did not work (trust me I plugged it in and tried) it held my interest during our five day stay. I loved it so much, I wanted to bring it home with me.

Lucky for both Tom(s) - the landlord and mine - it did not fit in the suitcase.

In about 48 hours, Tom and I will be flying over the east coast on our way to meet up with our friends in NYC, to then pile up in a car and drive 2 hours north towards the Catskill region.

We have rented a farmhouse.

In the middle of nowhere!

We have all the Thanksgiving ingredients bought and menu printed and planned.

The goal of the trip is to connect with friends, give thanks over and over again for everything we have and eat huge amounts of food until we cry uncle. In between all this I can guarantee there will be lost of laughs, catch ups stories and in between lots of naps, reading, hikes and the opportunity to lose ourselves in the perfect environment to catch our breath before we get back to our lives the following week.

Because, December is knocking on our doors and its looking like a doozy.
