I thought I'd drop by and spend a little bit of time with some of my favorite people. It's a beautiful morning. Hope it is whereever you are.
I had a lovely lunch with a friend in one of my favorite restaurants in one of my favorite town just the other day.
We ate at The Bakery in Smithfield.
I just love that little town.. so quaint, so charming, so tourist friendly. And, they preserve their history. That's a plus big time.
Just let me show you some of the cute buildings there. I know you will fall in love with it like I have.
I love this bed and breakfast. Wouldn't you just love to spend a week there? Okay, you don't have a week... How about a night?

This sweet wall decor is one boundary of the outdoor seating at the Smithfield Inn.
Just sit, eat and enjoy.

One cute little balcony.
And, just look at the street light!

This is the second floor balcony of a pet shop. You can't really tell from that distance but right in the center is a huge bird cage and the day I saw it, it was filled with happy birds catching some sun.
Now, don't you just love this place, too?
Come visit. I will show you around.
G'morning, Latane...what a sweet town this must be. Love the photos.
ReplyDeleteJust to say, I've not read your pretty book yet...It is on my list to read very soon and please know that I will do a review of it on the blog. Just wanted you to know that. :)
What charming architecture! Yes, I would like to stay in that B & B.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I could happily spend some time there in that charming B&B and that town. Looks as if you enjoyed a delightful afternoon.
ReplyDeleteWow these are all lovely houses! I love the cute balcony! enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful houses or what! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteJust my kind of town! The buildings are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous house!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous bed and breakfast this is. The house looks like it has so much character and charm. How nice that you had lunch with your friend there. I went to one many years ago, and it was by the ocean.
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest of the week.

I love this little town, too, Latane. We almost bought a house there instead of across the river. We would have had a little bit of a view of the creek from the kitchen. When we looked at the house, the sun was setting over the water....a very enticing feature :) We'd go over to the Farmers' Mkt several times last summer. I'm a big fan of Rogue Elephants iced coffee. Mmmmm
ReplyDeleteI love these houses! Are they called Painted Ladies? All of that fretwork is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos of these beautiful houses, Mom! How did I miss this one too???
