Life Of A Barn | Ohio Farmland
For someone who grew up on a 1/4 acre plot of land, the idea of someone having 500 acres at his disposal was a bit beyond my comprehension. When I first started visiting the nation’s farmland, I’d see these amazing old dilapidated barns just being left to collapse under their own weight. My thought was [...]
Merry Christmas To All | Vintage Christmas Postage
With Jack Frost nipping at my nose and a few flurries falling from the Winter’s sky, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
Cafe Du Monde | Chicory is Your Friend
While visiting my grandparents in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and having a moment to stroll through A Southern Season, I found what has become a mainstay to my morning coffee. Initially drawn to the coffee cans for their stand-out orange and maroon colored graphic, I quickly found that the product inside the can was far [...]
Dan River Fabrics | Luxury For The Little Lady
During the heyday of the 1950′s and early 1960′s, Dan River was the go-to source for any person’s home sewing project. I say “person’s”, but in those days you would have been hard pressed to find a man who knew his way around a home sewing machine. Women were the center of the home’s universe, [...]
Marathon Fuel | Emotional Marketing
On a recent road trip through the Midwest United States, I stopped to fill up the family truckster at a Marathon filling station. Although it was about 3:00am and my head was still foggy from the road, I couldn’t help noticing the signs all over the pumps proclaiming the close bond between Marathon and America. [...]
Ewing’s Blue Ribbon Feeds
Like many privately-owned rural farm businesses, Ewing’s Blue Ribbon Feeds Inc. has faded into memory long ago, leaving behind beautiful relics of it’s industrious past. I spent Thanksgiving this year, as I often do, with my family in my wife’s childhood town of Lynchburg, Ohio. Personally, I love Ohio- and Southern Ohio in particular. Acre [...]
1970 Monte Carlo | A Lifelong Friend
Every so often I come across a beautiful piece of automobile perfection that literally stops me in my tracks. This 1970 Monte Carlo is an example of one of those perfect pieces.
PORCHES | Berkshire Digs
If you live (or are visiting) anywhere near the Northeast U.S. and need a great place to decompress for a few days, I wholeheartedly recommend Porches. The entire experience is geared to ease you out of the everyday-grind. Low-key, quiet, hip (but, void of attitude), and surrounded by great restaurants and art museums.
Lynchburg Antique Mall
When you come across a shop like the Lynchburg Antique Mall, you really owe yourself a little peek inside. You just never know what treasure could be waiting to be found.
Textures | Weekend Roaming
We were lucky to get away for friend’s wedding in Eastford, CT and took the opportunity to stay at an inn close by in Woodstock, CT. The practically 300 year old structure and surrounding property were just what I needed for a little roaming. Those stone front steps looked like they’d easily last another lifetime- [...]
