On the Farm

My pictures of my children are sadly out of date.  Rather than go to Target or another studio, I decided to have a friend take some pictures in a more “vintage-y” setting as befits the mood I am trying to create in my home!  My sweet neighbor directed us to a beautiful old farm about 15 miles away, where we were given permission to take pictures.  No one is living there at the moment, but you can see it was once a busy place!  There were treasures to be found wherever I looked, and I *wish* I could have gone hunting through the many ramshackle outbuildings!  I know I would have found some things that wanted to come home with me!

There were amazing old outbuildings everywhere…

And the foliage was taking over!

I peeked in this shed…there was an old washtub, a great old door, and a bike frame where I could see them…

Don’t you just love this little shack?  What a beautiful door.

One building may have been some kind of a guest house.  I loved the “K” (for “Korrie”) on the shutters with the chippy blue paint.

Water storage, maybe?  The tank just peeked out over the bushes.

There were piles of old barn wood and bits and pieces of old equipment all over the place!  I love how the plants just grow up through the tines.

Look at this treasure…an old cast iron bathtub hiding in a thicket!  (Sadly, it did not have claw feet.)

Here is a gate to nowhere…it was just leaning up against another pile of junk.

I would love to have this in a flower bed.

…or maybe this!

This box was just sitting outside with no one to love it.  It tempted me more than anything, but I did not give in!

My dear sweet husband does not understand my fascination with all this “old stuff.” 
What about you? 
Do you see the junk, or do you see the beauty?
