Bucket List Day

Three weeks ago I was settling into my hotel room in Atlanta and noticed the newsletter from The Scarlet Letter in my inbox. In the newsletter Marsha explained that she was planning an open house for Sunday, September 10 and that it was limited to 50 people. Without hesitation I shot off an email requesting two spaces. I wasn't sure if my calendar was open, nor was I certain if anyone would be available to go with me, but I knew that if I could secure two spots I would make this happen. Within minutes I received a response and that brings us to today.






The Scarlet Letter is tucked away in rural Wisconsin on a farm with llamas, chickens, at least one turkey, some peacocks and lots of bees.


















The view from the farm is spectacular. That's pure Wisconsin farmland in the distance.













Of course, we were there for the samplers, and samplers we did see.































Of course, I ran into a few friends! Here are two of them (with a third looking on in the background!)







We had a great time looking, oohing, ahhing, and shopping of course!







We bid farewell to the llamas in the field as we headed back to the main road.







More samplers tomorrow...

Thx for sharing! I am delighted you were able to go! How awesome! That is a spectacular place to see/visit. I was there one time ... many years ago (maybe 1998?). I recall the samplers on the walls were stunning & the farm was wonderful.
