The listing realtor said she grew up with the kids that lived here and the yard was AMAZING back in the day. We'll get it there too. We just have to cut back some of the overgrowth and give it some time. I can't wait to see all the wisteria and azaleas in the spring. It should be a sight to behold!CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-11794325473413048852015-10-13T08:54:41.360-05:002015-10-13T08:54:41.360-05:00Jenna, Thank you.

We can tell that the previous owner's husband did some woodworking as there are a few handmade wood toys in there (and some of the supplies to make them). However, there's also some other equipment we don't recognize at all. I can't wait to have a big gathering out here, but we don't yet have enough CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-90292336587838016112015-10-12T16:12:42.389-05:002015-10-12T16:12:42.389-05:00This is so fun!

At my age, I just want someone to come do everything for me, but I can appreciate and remember what it was like to have that fire in the belly to find a diamond in the rough and make it over.

It's sort of sad though, all of the "forgotten" treasures and junk that you've found. It is obvious that this yard was planted and tended at one time by a lover of the outdoors. What a wonderful variety of green stuff! Can't wait to see pics after you and Pat work your magic on it all.

I'd LOVE to hear more about this magic beetle ;) We'd never seen/heard of air potato until we started looking at the property and did some research to find out what this vine was that covered the property.

This is exactly it, and it's still in an area of the county we want to be and not out in the boonies! We lucked up for sure.

It's got so much of what we want in a place (It's only lacking waterfront, ha!). It will be a work in progress for a while, but I'm still focused on trying to get us unpacked. That seems to be taking FOREVER! Thanks again for dropping in.CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-51750395245198892812015-10-11T07:23:59.424-05:002015-10-11T07:23:59.424-05:00Lorraine, Yeah.

However, we couldn't find anything with the mature trees I wanted (everything was saplings or clear cut) When we found this place, we were sold on the place before we ever saw the inside of the house. It's definitely a lot of work, but we kinda want to be closer to the land. As for the Fairhope house, no. .
