The Farm - A touch of whimsy in rural Minnesota

I guess you could follow either arrow but this is a much better place to spend the weekend! A wonderful little farm, lucky enough to have been touched by the imagination and creativity of my Fathers Wife (G) and my Father (J). She (G) never ceases to amaze me with her imagination and creativity - a true inspiration to me!!

Out here you get wide open spaces, lot's of peace and quiet, always something interesting to look at, farm auctions, great finds in sleepy small town Antique Shops and "All City" garage sales and best of all, time to visit with my Dad and his Wife in this wonderful little haven in rural Minnesota - Official Population - 59 :-)

Be sure to check in with the lady in the "Office" as you enter the drive. She totes a shot gun so don't go wondering with out checking in! Like the Stephen King book - "The Sentinel" - you will always find her at the window so she can see who's coming and going. Kinda creepy really!

Inside wall in the "Office" - Nine years and still not looking too bad!

The Guardian at the door of the "Office" - His BIG brother is just inside - he will deal promptly with any unwanted "Guests" - consider yourself warned! ( You will get a glimpse of him in my next post so check back soon :)

When day dreams meet reality.......A glimse of my recent musings and evening projects

It has been a crazy busy summer and is flying by much too quickly!!
With what little time there is to do what I love best (CREATE - something, anything!) the following is what becomes when my many ideas and day dreams take on a tangible life. Some are still available in my Etsy shop: Waternymph.etsy.com or http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5374305 should anyone have an interest. As always, many more are in various stages of becoming and will be posted soon.

Que Sera, Sera........

I am off to one of my favorite places to visit and get away from it all this weekend. I am going to take lots of photo's and share it here next week. I promise - you have never seen anything like it!!

If you have any artistic or whimsical bone in your body - you won't want to miss these photo's and the story of the enchanting destination I am heading to for the weekend and you definitely won't believe where it's located (lol!) It's the only place on earth I know of where the intersection sign has directional arrows for Rodeo Drive AND The Hampton's!!!

Next week, I will be posting Photo's that will hopefully inspire, take you back and make you smile. I am not a photographer so I hope I can do this justice - we will see :)

Thanks for stopping by! Comments always welcome and appreciated :)
