The Vintage Retreat - Jan 30, 2010

Celebrating the essence of Farmstead living!

The Farmstead Lifestyle----Where you see further down the road, you're more rooted in the land, and you stop to take a moment and breath in the fresh air! Realizing that these things mean everything. Where life happens more simply.......and you simply live, a more beautiful life!

Farmstead Where sophistication and serenity coexist!

Come to Farmstead for a Vintage retreat! Where nostalgia and the here and now unite to create an artistic dance! Where you can get a vision and be inspired! Where a city girl can become a country girl at heart! Invest in yourself; in your gifts and talents, so that you can make the world a better place, as well as meeting your own personal goals. Become a person of invaluable character, lead a more purposeful life; thus resulting in a life that brings inspiration to others!

Farmstead.............Creating a look that reflects the spirit in you! And yes it's about a look, but more importantly, it's about a way of living that is a reflection of you! I am constantly drawing inspiration from places I've been, experiences I have, and people I meet! I dream of artful, creative collections and spaces. Gathering ideas from nature, colors, textiles, and vintage finds! It's about a lifestyle: rustic yet refined, out in the country, drawing from creation where there's casual elegance!
