Rustic Retreat in North Carolina

 

Cashiers, North Carolina was once a rain forest and is set in a valley in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains.  This home is cozy and airy and very inviting - rustic yet refined.  The natural colors and large porch are my favorite parts of this home.

Etsy Friday Favorite

I love bird houses and nature and ran across this lovely Etsy shop, Wuderwerx.  I've never seen a bee hotel before, have you?    Each piece is so unique!

Mike collects pieces of wood from around Scotland, and turns them into beautiful objects! From Bird Boxes to Bee Hotels, Candle holders to Driftwood Picture Frames, you'll find them all here. Enjoy looking round!
