Rabbit Run Inn

the guest cottages

For our very short 25-hour Michigan getaway, we stayed at the Rabbit Run Inn in Sawyer, Michigan. The inn consists of four elegantly decorated rooms nestled on a wooded site just off Red Arrow Highway and is full of charm. My buddy loved the pond stocked with koi (so fun to feed). My highlight was the delicious scones delivered to our door for breakfast. (It’s like they knew me!) Can’t wait to return. It made a short stay very refreshing.

Isn’t this a sweet card? Great use of script. And no worries, it’s available in blue. From Bread + Butter.

Friday Flickr Five

ribbon wall, lasalle street office | simple pretty

It’s been a crazy week. Full of activity and yet not much visibly accomplished. We’re about 1/3 of the way through repainting the kitchen, and I just know it’s going to be fabulous when it’s finished sometime next week. This week, my biggest achievement was adding a second inspiration/business card wire in the office. I swapped out the ribbon, too. This creamy cotton ribbon is from Angela Liguori. Picked it up back in June while visiting Boston, because apparently, I can never have too much ribbon.

But enough about my ribbon fascination. On with the Five:

  1. Side by the Sea
  2. Depot Restaurant & Bakery
  3. Starry Night in the Back Yard
  4. nightswimming
  5. untitled

Have a wonderful weekend! Wish me luck in sneaking in a ever-so-short getaway today. (Maybe?)

See you Monday.
