My Grandaddy's collection of matchbox cars lined up along the windowsill.
My Granny's greenthumb. She always has a little plant growing in a beautiful non-traditional vase on her kitchen windowsill.
Going to the historic part of town to antique and admire the architecture.
Enjoying hot chocolate and coffee at a hip coffee shop while Robin does some work on her computer. Granny and Grandaddy only have dial-up.......
Relaxing in the sunroom. Seriously now, doesn't Fauna look like a little fairy in this photo?
Climbing the favoirite Japanese Maple in Granny and Grandaddy's yard.
Treasure hunting in some of the best antique shops I've ever been in. I found a lovely owl planter, a Whitman's chocolate tin, little china critters, a butterfly box full of vintage cake decorations, and 7 embroidered owl panels.
We had such a lovely trip and will be back down in the summer. I love you Granny and Grandaddy, thank you so much for making our trip great! View some more Virginia photos at Fauna's blog.

Just found your blog and I love, love, love it!
I can't wait to wade hip deep into all the creativity!
Coffee shops and antique stores, now that is my kind of day!
Fauna does look like a little fairy! :) Thank you for sharing all your beautiful photos of what looks like a fantastic trip.
It looks like you had an amazing time. Finn would have been in heaven with all those matchbox cars. Fauna definitely looks like a little fairy. :)
I'm thinking you might not have been too far from me (at some point anyway). I live not far south of the VA border west of 77. We spend quite a bit of time up there ourselves since we have 2 sets of great friends in the DC area. :)
sorry, i meant to say EAST of 77 :)
Looks like fun!

I agree with Erin, coffee shops and unique shops, antique or not. :)
What a wonderful trip you had! I love the pictures of the matchbox cars, and the bridge (it's beautiful), and all the treasures you found in the antique shops.
Fauna does look like a fairy-how cute! Sounds like a wonderful visit.
