weekend in amelia

spending the weekend out in the country in amelia, va visiting our family. such a break from "city" life. i love this house & property. plus, it just happens to be where i became mrs. jeremiah austin.

jeremiah and i spent the day helping his mom organize her craft house. yes, i said house. my in-laws home is dated early 1900's and has a servants' quarters on the property. it's a small house with a kitchen, bathroom, living room & bedroom. the living room is the main craft space. the bedroom is the sewing room. the kitchen is where my mother-in-law makes soap for her soap business. it's a crafter's dream workspace.

we also took some time to gather pecans. i already have a basketful and hope to gather a little more tomorrow.

last night i saw more stars than i have seen in quite a while. jeremiah and i were on some country road on our way to amelia and opened the sun roof to see the stars. although it was a little chilly, the sky was so clear and we were able to see an abundant amount of stars. at times, we could also smell the intoxicating scent of burning wood & leaves. it smelled like fall. i love it out here.
