Our Trip to TERRAIN in Westport, CT ~

The absolute highlight of my short-lived trip up north 

{besides seeing family of course}

was visiting a magical garden shop called

~ T E R R A I N ~

http://www.shopterrain.com 

in Westport, CT

I'd heard about this shop from my sister Louisea, 

and she said it was beautiful…

but to me

it's more like beauty-full ~

it is huge, it is open & airy

it is filled with wondrous things that are garden/nature inspired

...and best of all

it gives one a sense of place in the world.

we are all but small organisms in the great cosmos too, 

but we seem to forget that…

being closer to nature, gardening and even just decorating my old farmhouse

with fresh live plants, beautiful wood and antiques

helps keep me connected somehow…

here are a few snaps for you

the quality of the photos is lacking, as I took them from my iPhone

{and was shaking with excitement just to be there}

{can you see me?}

Hannah & Louisea shopping happily

oh! hello!!

the humongous tree-trunk tables blew me away ~
...I need one for my dining room now!

I shopped, sniffed the plants, rubbed all of the wood surfaces

absorbed the good energies 

and soaked my brain while there ~ I want to go back again NOW!

This standing concrete hare wanted to come live with us

so I begrudgingly obliged…

{yeah right ~ he sure twisted my arm to make me take him home!}

he will not go into the gardens,

instead

he was introduced to the other rabbits in my warren 

and will live out his days here in the farmhouse ~

If you have a moment, please visit the link to

Terrain

that I've pasted at the top of this post ~

once there, you'll find their blog too…

I think you'll love it!

*and*
