Nestled along the scenic coast of South Carolina, Habersham is a picture-perfect example of Lowcountry living at its finest. Join me today as I share the southern homes from my walks around the neighborhood. In addition to classic architecture, I think what I loved best about Habersham is that no two homes are alike. Unlike…
Tucked on the outskirts of Beaufort, South Carolina is the expertly-planned community of Habersham. Beautiful southern homes, both large and small, line the manicured streets of this residential area that has its own marketplace with tasty restaurants. My daughter, granddaughter, and I chose this place to take a much-needed spring vacation and it didn’t disappoint….
Merry Christmas! I don’t know if anyone will be taking a moment to visit the blog today but I thought I’d share a festive collection of trees seen in the beautiful city of Chicago. I think cities can be such a fun place to visit and one day I’d love to be in London during…
This is the final post on Town and Country Living about my trip to the United Kingdom this past summer. Links to the previous posts including Reading and the Cotswold area are at the end of today’s photos, in case you missed them. Today I’m showcasing mostly beautiful Windsor, with a few photos of Eton…
Do you remember learning about the Chicago fire in grade school? The fire displaced a lot of people from their homes. That’s when wealthier city dwellers built homes around Lake Geneva, Wisconsin until Chicago was rebuilt. Rather than sell their waterfront homes, they kept them as second homes for vacations. Two weeks ago hubby and…
Today I reveal my favorite Cotswold village of those that we visited during our recent trip to England. We only had time for three of the countryside towns and didn’t get to see Castle Combe, which I think would’ve been my favorite overall. Bourton-on-the-Water was my favorite of the day and is a unique little…
Are you ready to explore the second Cotswold village that my daughter and I visited during our trip to England? Stow-on-the-Wold is a market town filled with quaint shops and charming cottages. It doesn’t have the same winding, hilly streets as Bibury but it’s still loaded with charm and history. In case you’re wondering,…
It’s been a week since I returned home from England but the magic of the trip hasn’t left me. The Cotswold area was one of the main things I wanted to see while there, but we only had a day to explore the area. We didn’t get to all of the most visited villages, but…
Yesterday I arrived back home after an amazing week-long trip to England. This was my first vacation across the pond and as expected, I fell in love with the beauty and history of the land. I did not fall in love with driving on the crazy roads! But that was a mere blip in the…
This past weekend I’ve been researching the charm of Nantucket Island, hoping to take our summer vacation there next year. I’ve always wanted to visit both Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard and decided to visit the smaller island first. We might take a ferry for a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard to do a little exploring….
We’re visiting the pretty town of Alexandria, Virginia one more time because I didn’t share all my photos during my first post about this waterfront area that captured my heart. I think you’ll see why I believe this New England town has the best early American homes in the U.S. Add the cobblestone streets, brick…
Have you ever been to England? If you answered yes, hopefully you were able to explore the southwestern countryside that features charming Cotswold cottages. Much to my surprise, I was asked to go to England in July to attended a waterlily symposium. Yes, there is such a thing! Many of you know my day job…
Are you ready to tie on your virtual shoes and take a walking tour of beautiful Washington DC and its epic historic homes? There are so many interesting neighborhoods, gardens, museums and more in our country’s capital – it’s hard to fit everything into a single trip. Hubby and I were there last week and…
Have you ever been to Alexandria, Virginia? During our trip to Washington DC last week, we took a side trek to this charming town with its old houses, brick sidewalks, and cobblestone streets. I felt like a kid in a candy store and didn’t want to stop exploring its welcoming streets. Join me as we…
It’s been a couple weeks since I shared photos of our trip to Kennebunkport, but today I’m back to show you scenes from Kennebunk, Maine – which is the quieter side of the Kennebunk River that separates the two towns. Each has their own strengths but if you’re not from the area, it’s hard to…
Last week when I shared about Kennebunkport, I promised to share the charm of Kennebunk homes that we saw during our recent trip there. The Kennebunk River divides these two towns and it’s easy to think you’re still in one town or the other after crossing the bridge. I wish I would’ve asked the locals…
