Saturday, I met my friend, Donna, for a morning of antiquing. She introduced me to a neat little antique shop, where we both found some goodies we just couldn’t live without. We drove a few miles to a second shop, only to find that it was closed that day. We mumbled a few comments like: “How could they?” and “You’d think they’d be open on a Saturday!”, only to then see a little note explaining that they were closed because of a wedding. Oh, well, that’s different; completely understandable and forgiveable.
Since they were closed, we drove a few miles further, because Donna knew of a church where sometimes little yard sales/plant sales take place on the lawn. Nothing that day, BUT I did find a barn for Barn Charm!
Although I spotted this from the highway, Donna knew of a way to get closer for better pics, and NO, it didn’t require trespassing.
Let’s get a closer look (good thing I had my “long” lens): hmmm…rustic….shabby chic. But look at that gorgeous horse!
Such a beautiful setting.
I knew the light-colored horse was a palomino. Donna, who loved horses as a child, (unlike me, who waited until much later in life) explained that the one near the barn was a bay and the one to the far right was a pinto.
Donna is also responsible for that third photo – I was driving down the lane, back to the highway, and she recognized what a nice shot that would be.
Antiques + horses + a barn + time spent with a friend = one fun morning.
Linking up to Barn Charm.
Sounds like you had a delightful day of barn and horse spotting!

The barn shots turned out great! The day was perfect and you gave me far too much credit for your skills. I look forward to our next adventure (maybe this time it WILL involve trespassing -ha).
Beautiful photos and seems like it was a perfect day. Nothing like shopping and sharing with a good friend. 🙂
Charming barn made all the more charming by the horses.. 🙂 Love the wonky gates!
sounds like a perfect day!
Sounds like your kind of day…a friend, a barn, antiquing and horses! Perfect!
shabby chic for sure…..the horses, a big plus!!
That would be a fun morning and then finding the barn and horses a bonus. Great photos! Enjoy the day. Pamela

Don’t you just love a “stumble upon it” moment? Nice pictures, Dianna! I sure hope I can get down your way this summer…
It would be WONDERFUL to meet you, Natalie! I’d love to show you around our area…!
Trespass ?? Of course not ! – I’ve never known you to do it ! That barn looks a little tired, but it’s hanging on !
Nothing beats a good time with a friend.
Always great to find another barn on our outings!
It’s a great barn in a beautiful setting!
I’m with mollieandalfie, what treasures did you find?
