My Kind of town!!!!

Let me introduce you to my Little Friend........(a town called Magnolia Springs) (click to enlarge picture)

a street lined in Oak Trees....love it.? This is downtown Magnolia Springs.? These houses are what I love..so cute.? I know I am of the minority on this earth but I'm not in love with Big Houses....I like the cute and quaint variety.? And the following houses fall into this category.....

I would love to get a hold of a porch like this, wouldn't you?? I could see lots of planted Hydrengeas out front next to the Oak Tree and hanging baskets full of dripping flowers.??I would have a hanging swing in one corner?with lots of wicker chairs and tables....?Ahhh......? Isn't that family crest neat?? I wish I would of gotten a close? up of it to see what it says but we were driving by on this shot.? Speaking of family crest..the following house has my name written all over it..

Now...I saved the best for last....this is a Bed and Breakfast...I NEED to stay here the next time we go to Alabama.....I LOVE this house...love, love, love it...do you know why???

Would this be your kind of town too?? I would love to hear from you.? Am I in the minority here or do most of you who take a look here at my blog like this kind of lifestyle?? I know I'm kind of weird because I do appreciate air conditioning BUT I think having a porch out front where you can see your neighbors walk by you begin to communicate with them with a smile then a Hello....then it seems all of a sudden you are having coffee with them or a glass of wine...that is what I want in a home lifestyle.? Yes..Magnolia Springs....you are calling my name!?? P.S.? Tucker is my Maiden name

Hi, Ellie, thanks for leaving me a note! So glad you are going to join the yardsale party on Thursday & that I've inspired you with yardsaling.

Love this little town you are showing, I love quaint towns & long for the good old days when things were not as fast-paced & when we were all more innocent. I'm afraid those days are gone, but I do appreciate the smaller cottages in these older towns too.

I take it you love the B&B because of the porch?

I love looking at these small quaint towns, but I'm much more of a city girl. I love the look and feel of these places, as well as the decorations. When I see alot of "stuff" my mind goes to "ugh, cleaning must be hard with so much stuff". Yes, I am lazy. Yes, I hate cleaning, so I try to have much less stuff to move around and dust. Then there's the other side of me that loves knick knacks. It's a battle. lol

I'll go and visit you when you move. :)

Ellie, I agree! I just love porches! What a cute town that is! I don't know if I could live there, but I love the look of it. I just don't do Southern humidity well!

Hi Ellie, I was touched by the note you left on my blog. So many of us have such similar stories about our parents suffering from dementia & Alzheimer's. I'm so glad you found my blog & told me part of your story. Please come back & visit often....occasionally I comment about my own struggles with being a caregiver.......so I can relate. Keep reaching out to others & you'll find many kindred spirits.

Now about the cottages, they are lovely! I wish I had a wonderful porch with a swing, I'd sip ice tea & just relax!
I enjoyed your blog & will be adding it to my blog roll. Thanks for visiting & commenting, Hugs, DebraK

I really like the houses too- I love small towns, but I am with Cristina- I think I have been a city girl for far too long... :)
