Asheville's delights......................

The perfect sign seen at the Tobacco Barn Antiques

Many of you know the delightful Penny from The Comforts of Home and From Harvest To Table blogs. It's been 5 years in a row that we've managed to get together in Asheville, North Carolina. Penny and her super hubby have amazed and entertained us at several different homes they've worked their magic on, rehabbing often on a huge scale, and decorating in a French country theme. This visit was again a thrill. Seeing a work still in progress at their relatively new to them home high on a mountainside with beautiful views of the Blue Ridge beyond, and enjoying a delicious dinner cooked by Penny, it was again a perfect time with lovely friends. 

Last night, standing on their wide front porch as evening brought the music of cicadas on the soft cooling breeze, I actually felt Autumn in the air at last - life was good and friendship was a blessing.

Before the lovely evening on the mountaintop, we 

spent part of the day breezing through favorite 

Asheville antiques venues - and they do have 

some fabulous ones. 

Later I'll show you what I found!
