The Inspiration

Our Spring 2010 line was inspired by something very near and dear to us .... SpringHill Farm.  This property has been in my husband's family for four generations and I feel truly blessed that we are now able to raise our family here.  It is not much of an actual farm...just 3 acres nestled into suburbia...but it is truly a magical place.

This here was the old milkshed which backs onto the pond.  I always thought it looked like a little hobbits home the way it is folded in between the trees.





Here we have some of the bounty from our gardens,  Gooseberries, rasberries, currents, strawberries - yummy!  And my favourite time of the year is when my peonies erupt into flower.  The heavenly scent!



A little peek-a-boo to the pond where we spend hours in the spring and summer catching frogs during the day and watching for fireflies at dusk.
And here is the old homestead.  Although this place is a nightmare to heat I just love all the old wood and archways.




For us the below quote is so fitting: 
 

"A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it."
-- George Moore
