his project certainly has been a long time in the making. It started way back in March of '09 as a sliver of an idea. Since that time i have taken hundreds of photos of the boys at their farm. I feel so fortunate to be a part of the Barn House family. One of the many gifts i have received from my friends Jermonne and Joe was this opportunity to develop my skills as a photographer and writer. I felt their support and loyalty each step on the journey from conception to final publication. Thank you my friends. You have been awesome this past year. I am looking forward to the next on-the-farm season as well as the opening of the new on-line shop Barn House Marketplace!
The title of the article is Barn House Mystique. The editorial team selects a title for Somerset Life articles and i believe this one was in part chosen because of the diaphanous structure they chose to feature on the title page. You remember the Taj Ma Tent of last summer don't you? It was created by Deb from Retreat for the summer flea market at Barn House. I included a photograph in this post to remind you of the glorious possibilities for creating your own summer retreat inspired by the creative minds of Deb & Bob.
Here is a photograph of the talent. Handsome devils too aren't they?
A sampling of the images
Of course you recognize these charms right? Made by Natalie.
It has been a great year for me as an aspiring photographer and writer. I already have projects in the works for this year that i am very excited about. Something a little closer to my own home. Just a little hint there :)
I'll be by to see you all soon!
love, robin
You are such a creative and inspiring human being Robin. It is always such a treat to come over here and see what you have to share. It delights every sense, and wakes up parts of me that feel as though they have been hibernating, waiting patiently for a stirring. I love you to pieces.
And what I wouldn't give to have a tent like that to retreat to in the summer months. Oh I could look at that image and dream the whole day away!

I think I could sit here all day and just read...and stare, Robin...and not feel I have wasted any time. I love your talent and inspiration. It will be so fun getting to know you better! :)

A beautiful collection of images. Each one tells a story of life, a different view. My favorite, the dress dummies...sensational.

I can't wait to see what these projects close to home may be...a possible photo tour of Avalon? I have got to find that magazine around here. I think our Borders carries it...they were sold out last time. Maybe if I get there early enough this time, I can get a copy. ;)

Robin, I've beene having so much fun click through the various links and catching up on the Barn House. Exciting times and yes, they are adorable. Also, the little moppet is the cutest thing. She looks like she attached herself to country life very quickly.
