Recently my husband and I took a trip to our cottage in northern Michigan, which also happens to be in the heart of Amish country. Amish workmanship is outstanding...we always shop at the local Amish grocery and hardware stores while in the area. Occasionally we stop to see a hardworking family which has provided wonderful services for us in the past, such as the building of storage barns and quilting. As we drove by their large old farm house this time, I fell in love! This precious, hand built play house was sitting in the meadow - for sale! I may be a grandmother but I want it for my very own! Just look at at the lovely white trim and that sweet little swing on the front porch! And take a look at the inside - a loft! I could just picture myself painting it all pink and filling it with miniature furniture, planning tea parties with my little granddaughters. Oh why, oh why, does a girl have to grow up?
Is this hand painted pumpkin face cool or what?!
Well, yes, of course the University of Michigan Wolverines would be honored ANYWHERE!
Wolverines vs. Spartans...GO WOLVERINES!!!
Weight watchers before and after pumpkins! 
...his book of spells rested on the desk nearby. 
Mimi and Papa were in the company of the cutest Tigger and Tinker Bell at the village!

Wonderful post. My daughter's dept. at work decided they should all dress as our local NFL team with paper bags over their heads---too funny. I WANT THAT LITTLE HOUSE---wow, that is amazing.
I like that pumpkin elephant and the painted face pumpkin.
Cute little tiger too!!

What an adorable playhouse - amazing workmanship! I enjoyed the rest of your photos as well.
Amish country has always been a favorite visit of mine when up in the Maryland area to see family. You lucky lady get to visit whenever you want! And, I'd get the playhouse anyway - who says we have to grow up???
Wonderful pictures! I got a good chuckle over the "Detroit Lions Fan" pumpkin. Until this past Sunday that could have been us Dallas Cowboys fan as well! What a lovely time you must have had! The mouse and weight watcher pumpkins were great too! I posted some carved pumpkins for today's S&T!

Beautiful cottage!
I never want to grow up. I'll always want to play. However, it is getting harder to get down on the floor and back up.
The before and after WW pumpkins: See once you lose weight, you look older, thin face wrinkles. ugh!

Hi Kathy, your post is great and brought back so many wonderful memories from growing up in Michigan. I always loved to visit Amish country both Michigan and Indiana. The play house is darling. I would love to decorate something like that too. What a dream. Loved all the pumpkins and baby pics.
Have a great weekend.
