I'm late again! It's kind of funny since I am never late in real life...just in blog life;)! I am joining sweet Karen at Brayton Homestead Interiors for her Barn Chicks party. Most of you that know me well know that I have a slight obsession with living in a cottage in the country. For a while we toyed with the idea of building a little cottage in Fredericksburg,Texas. While we were in the planning stages we took some pics of places that we wanted to replicate...vintage barns and homesteads that pepper the landscape of the hill country. I thought these would be perfect for today.
Be sure and visit Karen and the other"chicks" to see all of the goings on;)!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Lots of Love!!!
Cathy

It would be so much fun to build a barn, cottage style, in the hill country.
We had a barn growing up. We would sit in the hay door at the top and hang our legs out and just hope that dad didn't catch us!!!
I love your barns and your baby chickee!

I hope your dream comes true.

These are lovely barns. My sister lives in San Antonio so she took me to Fredricksburg, what a great little town. We shopped and had lunch there.

Your pix are so amazing and I just want to snuggle with that fuzzy little chick! What a smashing post to start the week. Thanks....

There is nothing quite like living in a cottage in the country, Cathy! Hubby and I bought a small farm five years ago and love waking up each day to the sights and sounds of nature.
Hope you find that special place of your own.
By the way, love your barn pics. Come for a visit, and you can see the ones I found while visiting New England.
I also just joined you as a new follower.

We had to demolish our old barn a few years back and I sure miss it!
These barns are beautiful! Thank you for sharing them! And you never know, you could retire in a cottage :)
Thanks Cathy! It also comes in a gorgeous apple green and a black. I hope you get one too! :)
Beautiful pictures! I love the little chick.
Hi, Cathy,
I enjoyed seeing your charming barns and beautiful countryside. I am with you on building a quaint cottage in Fredericksburg, what a wonderful place that would be to live. It has been a pleasure to get to meet another Texas gal. Thank you for coming by to visit with me, my friend~have a happy weekend~Vicki
Oh Cathy, what a precious little chick, would love to just hold it right now! Okay, I love your photographs of your awesome barns, each one is so unique!
I see you are a Texas Gal too, how neat is that!
Hugs,
Nancy
Cathy,
What a beautiful place! I long for a piece of heaven like this...one day.
Thanks for checking out my blog yesterday. I am following you now as well!
Best,
Karen
hello cathy! have a great sunday! verbena cottage
Love these pictures Cathy. I love the weathered barns and the chick is so precious!
Nancy
Oh Cathy, I love all of the barns. I always wanted to find one and turn it into a house. My dearest friend in the whole world use to live in Fredricksburg and they restored a Sunday House. It was so pretty and they did such a fantastic job that it was shown in several magazines years ago. I got to stay in their guest house above the barn, and what a treat that was.
I am so glad the Grace pictue brought back good memories. My children grew up with this hanging in our breakfast room. It is always a symbol of home to them. I had it hanging in the hall since there are no walls in the kitchen and the mirror was on the wall before, but it does feel like home to have it back where it belongs. Mine is just a print and I know they are available on line. They are either call Grace or Our Daily Bread. I so hope you find one. It is the best picture in the whole world. Thanks for your great comments on the wall redo. Hugs, Marty
Cathy, I just had to tell you that I found the Grace pic at Amazon.Com. They call it Daily Breadd Man Praying At Dinner Table. Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027Z37Y2/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0027DXL6S&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1RQV04ZYK4AD8JQ9EG6C They have it on sale for $6. Can't beat that. Hugs, Marty
These barns are so beautifully rustic!
I would love to have a little cottage by a stream with a huge garden! Doesn't that sound so romantic? I would also need a porch and a swing and a gardener and pool boy.... ooops did I say that outloud? Wonderful to have dreams!
xo Yvonne
Hi Cathy! Thanks...I love the sandals!!!!
Even if I am 50....
Hope you get your country cottage one day! I love your rooster collection in the prior post...I would imagine you would have lots of real chickens and rooster at your little cottage. Hope you have been having a wonderful summer!
~jermaine~ @ French Kissed
Love the gorgeous pictures!! New follower here!! Thanks for stopping by and for your comments on my blog, too! :)
Hi Cathy, it's good to be back! I've had a great summer, but it's time to get back in the groove and motivated again.
Chase loves his army men...he has about a million of them!lol...Right now they are all over the house, but I know the time is coming (soon) when he won't care about toys anymore...it makes me sad. Right now he's down to armymen and legos, that's about all he is in to.Oh...and xbox and computer games, but I'm sure he will stay interested in those. When school starts, he is going to be very limited on the games!
I hope you get to build your cottage someday...how exciting! I would love to have one too someday.
I made some rooster tassels but they all sold pretty quick. I will make more and e-mail you when they are done. You might be interested in one.
Have a great day! I better get in my room and get started on some stuff. Kristen
I just looked at your roosters and saw the little arrangement I made for you...it looks great! I'm glad you are pleased with it! Your other roosters are really pretty too...love the painting and rug.
Hi Cathy, try and stay cool. Wow, can you believe this heat?! Here's to cooler weather.
Your buddy,
Barb ♥
Hi there, I have been gone for a couple of weeks, so I am just catching up with you! I love the rooster post below and I love these old buildings..such character! :D
What is a chick, but a baby rooster (or hen)!?
Hold on TIGHT to your dreams!
Blessings to you as you make your home!
Hugs,
~me
Hi Cathy,
Great to hear from you. I have been busy too!!
Not as much time for blogging as I would like.
Love the little chick, so cute. I wish I had a barn to have a party in.
Have a great day!

Rosemary
Hi Cathy, yes, I am watching out for the girls! I bet your son has lots of girlfriends...he is so handsome!
Oh, my goodness...
Your blog is just beautiful!
Thank you for sharing!
Leticia
Oh, how I love barns! Your images are calling to my heart. And the little chick is so sweet.
Hi Kathy, How fun to do all the research even if it does not come to fruition. Dreams are necessary in life, or at least I think so!! Saw your comment on my list post. Good to see you there and just wanted to come by and say HI!!! Hugs Kathysue
Adorable Cathy!!!! That little chick is so darn cute!
Have a pretty day!
