Photo's from the B&B...


Hello again! As I mentioned before, I had a great time this weekend:) This bed and breakfast was in a HUGE old farm house, that used to be on land used for an actual Buffalo Farm!!! Now its way in the back of a very ritzy looking subdivision that was built around it- strange!!! I actually got kinda lost on the drive there because it was not where I thought it would be!!

The little tree above was in the entry-way of the b&b; which I thought was too funny because (1) its the end of January now!! and (2) it was decorated with Little People's!! My brothers had a lot of these when we were growing up!


This tin on the wall was so pretty and old/worn looking; I wanted to take it home with me:)


Here is the living room area; pretty cozy in there. I loved that couch, especially the colors!!


There were 2 of these HUGE window dividers in the middle of the living room. I thought they were so unique; I've never seen anything like that in a home.


This huge cupboard was in the hall outside of our room. I imagine it had linens in it; I wanted to be nosy and snoop but I didn't!!


The detail on this enormous shelves built in to the wall was unreal!!


Cute little apples on the way into the kitchen:)


What an amazing sized dining room! Holly, there are the hankie-buntings!! They set the table the night before for our breakfast the next morning.


This screen was in there as well and caught my eye because of all the gingerbreads hanging on it!!! CUTE ♥


Here are some antique kettles and baking items.

Cute little wooden kids kitchen set!!


Close up of the hankies!


Downstairs where our goodies were, was a big "game room". They had this old juke-box in there that still worked.


Look at all the old Coke, Pepsi and 7-Up nostalgia.


Haha, Mr. Peanut!!


Some old games and farm things.


This room was off of the large room we used for the crop. It was just chocked full of antiques!! I think it was a spare room.


A little collection of old play sewing machines.


A real OLD singer sewing machine!
I wonder how much this is worth now???


This cracked me up! An old wooden potty!
I have NEVER seen one of these before!!
When do you think this dates back too??


A little old toaster collection!


This dishes in the window are adorable!!


More dishes...


We had a pretty dull room compared to the others:( I did take a few pics that I'll post tomorrow, along with the stuff that I worked on while I was there.

Breakfast today was good but I guess the BEST breakfast was yesterday before I got there:( Today, we had apple/cranberry compote with granola- YUMMMM!! We also had baked eggs (so good) smoked sausage, Amish wheat toast, orange-chocolate chip muffins (YUMM!) and coffee/juice! I love B&B breakfasts!!

I stayed up last night till 1am cropping then went to bed. We got up at 8 am and ate; then I went back to bed for over and hour! Wish I could do that everyday:)

I really hope to be able to go again next year! It was so relaxing- speaking of relaxing, I'm BEAT! Time to go to bed:)

2 more days till my GET-AWAY!

I am so lucky to be able to "get-away" this weekend to a cozy little bed 'n breakfast in Amish Country for a little scrapbooking "retreat"!! My friend Angie that sells Creative Memories is hosting a Crop weekend at the Olde Buffalo Bed and Breakfast. Its actually Friday and Saturday this weekend but I opted to only go for one night- Saturday.

Its going to be so much fun and nice to relax after being home all week with the boys, by myself. Brian has been working about 4 hours away in Michigan since Monday. He'll be home tonite then leaves again on Monday to work up there for another 4 days. The boys have been pretty good for me this week, but its been tough as sick as I have been feeling.

Have you ever stayed at a Bed and Breakfast? I have stayed at 2 different ones. Its so much more comfy feeling and cleaner, don't you agree? I'll take a home cooked breakfast there anyday over a hotel's continental (boring) breakfast!!! Can you tell that I am a breakfast lover??


Here is the front of the b&b; their gardens are beautiful!! I'm sure they won't look this good now with all the snow:(


One of the rooms; I forget the name of this one though. There will be 14 of us and I am "rooming" with my friend Angie. So... we will have to share a bed!! lol She said "Don't worry, we can snuggle!!" lol I told her "No offense, but I'll pass!" She's a NUT!!


This is their "attic" room; be nice if Angie and I got this one, then we wouldn't have to "snuggle"!!!! :)-


This room is called the Amanda, and I think is my favorite one! Its so light and airey looking- very relaxing and pretty!!

Here are a few more shots of the garden area...



Well, I am off to the dr. here in a bit. I missed my first class today for the appt. then I have my first Math quiz at 1 pm; wish me luck!!!
