A Visit with Blogging Friend, Susan, from Love Where You Live

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Susan Fox from the blog Love Where You Live

Susan and I have corresponded over the past few years and it was so much fun to actually have her in my home. We talked like we were old friends and had lunch together in a most casual way! (Read: splitting three different sandwiches,sharing with my daughter, dripping pimento cheese and chicken salad out of the bread, sipping tea and talking non stop the whole time!)



Susan had been in the hill country for a few days, visiting with girlfriends and attending the lavender festival up the road in Blanco, Texas.
She had a morning appointment in Fredericksburg, and then made the time to come over for lunch and get acquainted with me before heading on to her next stop. 
Talk about a road trip!

I have envied Susan's life for quite some time. She and her husband had a beach house in Galveston, Texas, and live in the gorgeous mountains of Colorado.

In my mind, the best of both worlds! My husband loves the mountains and I love the water. Susan and her husband have it figured out!

Is this not the cutest little cottage you have ever seen!

Susan has featured this little jewel box on her blog and it has been featured in magazines. Lucky for Susan, when she and her husband were ready to sell it, the right buyer came along quickly, and now that person, whoever she may be, is the object of my jealousy!

Susan most graciously asked if she could snap some photos at my house, and the next thing I know, she has written the most lovely post about my home in the hill country, with a clever twist on my collections and vignettes around the house. 


The entry hall....do come in.


So, even if you have toured Hill Country House before, do visit Susan here, as she adds her own spin as she sees my home through her eyes. 

Thank you so much Susan, and I look forward to visiting you in your home one day soon!!

  1. that is a fabulous feature on your beautiful home Ann!! It was so fun to see the rooms that we all post individually, all together. This was extra special to see your home through Susan's eye- loved the tour and the commentary. And, I'm coveting that small display table and the thick marble bible!!

    talk soon,
