Country Living
I am back from Canada and ready to start working on the custom orders that await me - while I get back to the sewing machine, here are some photos from my trip that I have to share.

Oh Stephanie! Such beautiful pics! I’ll have to back track and see where in Canada you visited.

oh, duh, lol! I was so engrossed in the photos that I didn’t see the writing underneath them!

Thanks, Lana.
And the captions are a bit small and grey.. I was trying to make them unobtrusive - I guess it worked. 
I love this area so much that I am hoping to move there one day.

Gorgeous pix of Ontario Stephanie. Looks a really beautiful place to live. I love the mill building too. Fascinating to see how people lived then. As for that huge barn, what an amazing building. If it were in England it would have been renovated to within an inch of its life and people living in it.

Doreen - I loved the Gristmill living quarters too! The floorboards were my favorite, I miss living in a house with amazing wide floorboards. One day it will happen again… and I would love to have a wood stove too!
Cathy - I thought the barn was amazing too! It was on the property of a fixer-upper house my husband and I were considering buying, but it must have sold right before we saw it. (All for the best though, as I am just now learning that immigrating to Canada is quite a lengthy process anyway! We were getting ahead of ourselves.)
