Today the weather is too cold to leave the house and too cloudy to take pictures. A perfect day to take you on a Winter tour of The Village. This barn marks our entry into the Village area. Every time I see it I sigh. My cares melt away.
This is my happy place.
The place that feels like home.
The place my heart longs to be.
This morning I sent an email to our realtor. And now we wait.
We wait to see if our crazy/brave dream of moving to The Village might become a reality this year. Or if we will have to wait a bit longer.
I stare in awe at the red barn every day when I pass it. I'll say a little prayer for you and your family today that everything works out! Keep us posted = )
ReplyDeleteYour village looks like a piece of heaven. I know that your dream will come true soon.
ReplyDeleteOH I so want to move in any of those homes, even the barn. Awesome. Thanks for showing us the village!
ReplyDeleteHi Jan,
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to be patient, especially when you want something this badly! The homes you showed today are so lovely. I especially like the white one. There is just something so homey and cozy about an older home. We have lived in both and they both have their good and bad qualities but I must admit, I probably prefer an older home. You will be in my prayers. Hang in there.

jen, your little village looks like something from dreamland.
ReplyDeletei watched the holiday ( again) yesterday while snuggled up on my sofas & your little village reminds me of iris' cottage...so so charming
hang in there
Oh, please! I wish you all the best in your hunting!
ReplyDeleteThese homes are BEAUTIFUL! My dream neighborhood! I hope that you're able to find yourself living in the Village! : )
ReplyDeletehow does one pick ..they are ALL charming ... move to the village young woman!
ReplyDeleteLooks SO amazing! Is matching Christmas greenery a requirement? You should really surprise them all and bust out some giant Frosty inflatables. ;)
ReplyDeleteI see good things in your future! I am going to have to pass through I my next trip to indy!

how pretty! i think i know which village you are talking about, although i have not been there in years. there used to be a really nice quilt shop downtown. brick lined street? good luck!
ReplyDeleteI can see why the village is your happy place Jen! It is lovely. I hope your wishes and dreams come true this year!
ReplyDeletePenny
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us! Your attitude is perfect. If it is meant to be, things will just fall right into place!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great day. Beth. :)
I have a feeling you'll be there sooner than you expect. It's wonderful! It makes me want to bake a pie and drink latte's and languish at the library. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI love your village. Hope you get to move there soon!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty little village. Wishing all your dreams come true.
ReplyDeleteSo tell me where exactly is this quaint area called "The Village"? Is it downtown Indy? I'm not from there, but I'm just so curious....
ReplyDeleteJen, your Village looks like a dreamy little spot to live. The homes are gorgeous and I LOVE the red barn. Such a beautiful "Welcome Home" sight ♥ Good Luck with your search ...what an exciting way to begin the New Year.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Ernie would love a play date with Maggie too :-)
Sorry Millie (not Maggie)...I think I've gotten Ernie in trouble all ready :-)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. I can understand the desire to move there. We've been doing the whole "do we move" thing here. Alas, no adorable village in sight, just suburban-ness. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming little town. I can just picture you there. Thanks for sharing with us, and btw, I think patience is highly overrated.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you get good news! The little village looks so idyllic.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Love all of those homes and the RED barn! So Americana huh? I hope you get your way and you get to pack up and move before summer to enjoy all the fun out doorsy stuff in the lil town!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I can't decide which is my favorite. I think the Cape Cod.
ReplyDeleteEmailing the realtor was the first step in countless ones along the way. But they will all be worthwhile steps once you are settled in the place you belong.

Crossing my fingers for you. The hardest part is keeping the beds all made up and the kitchen clean while the house is on the market. Just keep your eye on the prize...and you will get through it.
ReplyDeleteI will keep my fingers crossed too. You have inspired my husband and I too find a place like your village. We are starting to travel to places that may be our forever home!
ReplyDeleteMichelle
I hope your realtor gives you the news you want to hear- you are moving to the village. Good things come to those who wait and you all have waited patiently so it is your time.

I understand how you feel! For 19 years we have lived in our town and I've wanted to live on a particular road all that time. Now, a piece of property is for sale on this said road that seems to be a fit for our family. We've put our own cottage up for sale - and we wait. That's the hard part.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my fingers crossed for you that the news will be good!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. Like living in a storybook. I'm sure you and your village will be together soon!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, that IS a beautiful place! I can't wait to see what God has in store for you!
ReplyDeleteP.S.
Is it real??? It looks like a postcard or the little ceramic town I put out at Christmas!
Stopping in from blog traveling today...what a pretty blog. Hope it's okay to add you to my blog roll. I know that your perfect house awaits you!
ReplyDeleteooh, the village looks so quaint. you would love historic benefit street on the east side of providence. nestled between brown u and risd. if you're ever in ri, you have a tour guide.
ReplyDeletehope you village dreams come true this year, sweetie
