A Day in Pictures: Life in Virginia

I thought it would be fun to give you a quick glimpse of my new life in Virginia!
Farmer's Market, Antique Store, Delicious Coffee, and Fall Leaves-hope you enjoy!

Me getting ready to hit the road

(do you LOVE my cheesy 16yr. old FB profile picture-ha!)


Rivermont Drive

A view from the road




I don't think you can really tell from the pictures, but these houses are REALLY old and interesting! I LOVE Virginia architecture!
(yes, I took these from inside my care...very classy!)





Down Town Lynchburg








Historical Community Market








I don't actually know what these are, but liked the colors-ha!









I wanted to buy some egg plant SO bad, but I have NO idea how to cook them
:(.




I LOVED these little bird ornaments made from scraps of paper and book pages.





If I had money and could decorate section:)


Don't you just love this little chair....



Or this adorable chandelier...


Or vintage lamp shades!?!




I would buy this darling chair in a heartbeat!

I LOVE old books...





I am a sucker for pretty crystal....


and antique teacups!
(I have actually started collecting vintage teacups and table settings for Amelia and Penelope-nieces. I hope to be able to give them as a wedding or first home gifts. I would have LOVED to have gotten these blue cups, but they were $350.00...a little more than I had planned to spend-ha!)



My one purchase
(pure bees' wax, lead free honey comb candles. They make the candles in store, and these were on sell for almost no money! I love the color and texture. I have some antique brushed iron candle holders that they are going to look AMAZING in!)

White Heart Cafe
(coffee stop)

YUMMY!
(it was actually supposed to be a chai latte not coffee, but it was good so I just kept it-ha)

My Favorite Virginia Spot



Isn't it beautiful!?!
(it is a really old park, so it has HUGE, BEAUTIFUL trees everywhere)





Pretty View

Very Old and Scary Trestle Bridge
(it creeps me out for some reason)




All in all, I would say it was a good day!
Hope you enjoyed your quick peak of Virginia!

  1. It is pretty! I had a hard time when I first moved here from Athens, GA, cause I was convinced there was nowhere better than there-ha! I am-thankfully-really appreciating the beauty and history now:). Hopefully I will be able to find a job so I can stay-ha!

  2. Beautiful pictures. Here is a link to an amazing recipe using eggplant. I love it, and you can have a movie day along with it.
