Been Meaning to Post These...

My boyfriend's incredibly generous parents invited me up to their place in Vermont MONTHS ago.  I've been meaning to post these fantastic photos for awhile and kept getting distracted by other things (look- 

something shiny!).  In my defense, I make jewelry, so there's always something shiny around here.

This barn looks sooooo "Vermonty" that I bet, if you licked it, it would taste like Maple Syrup

The "Yoked" Parrish Summer Home.  It has no heat, so they only use it in warmer months.

inside the yoked parrish- can't even describe to you the fantastic ambiance of the place.

The Upper Room

This bike has apparently made a local resident a local celebrity!

So pretty that I forget where we were

In the "Land of the Little People"

one of the "Little People" 

This view was my reward for going on what seemed like an incredibly long hike.  Welcome to dating an Eagle Scout.  "Cup of Soup" heated with the little camping burner for lunch tasted AMAZING up here! I also picked up a bunch of teeny pinecones that I'm figuring out how to work into jewelry.  Fun in the Forest! It was quite the fantastic four days and I was so grateful for the time away with beautiful nature and beautiful people.  Chuck and I went on a Yarn Adventure one day- many exciting yarns came home to be made into my bead-knit bracelets and necklaces (plus Chuck's Christmas hat).
