My husband is a magician. Not only can he see beauty though the lens of his camera, but in post processing, he can emphasize whatever he wants. Recently, he’s put the emphasis on my quilts. I love what he can do, don’t you?
Yesterday found us riding backroads with quilts and cameras in the car. We ended up at The Farm House. An old sharecropper’s cabin with numerous additions, good food, and decor to please any southern girl; it’s one of our favorite destinations.
We had a nice lunch in the dining room with a fire burning in the open fireplace. Outside, guineas were roaming around, a scarecrow was standing guard, and piles of pumpkins adding color. The menu included candied sweet potatoes, turnip greens, and corn muffins – more evidence that this is a place to please any county soul.
Surrounded by old quilts, old baskets, old ironstone, I feel like I’m visiting relatives from my childhood. Since much of it is for sale, visitors can take elements of the past home.
I personally brought a wreath with a crow inside, and a pair of earrings made from feathers from the wandering guineas.
The owner gave us permission to take all the photos we wanted; her goal is to share this place with all who will love it. Quilts posed on farm implements, beside pumpkins, in the garden, and on the porch.
My talented husband worked his magic in post processing. Some samples are here, more (with details of these quilts) will follow in upcoming posts.
Beautiful! He is magical! Where is the Farmhouse?
