My Life :: Going Home to Oakwood


A couple weeks ago I went home to visit my mom in my hometown of Oakwood, OH, and the weather was just so beautiful I couldn't help but snap some photos of the stunning fall foliage.  Over the years some of my friends' families have moved away, opting to move further south or to smaller homes, but I feel so lucky to still be able to go back to Oakwood every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Smith Gardens

Going back to visit my adorable hometown of Oakwood, Ohio always feels like a mini-vacation to me.  The beautiful town is filled with quaint shops, historic homes, amazing restaurants, and gorgeous parks.  Although there are a lot of places in Oakwood I love, my favorite has to be Smith Gardens, which boasts one of the "finest tiny public gardens in Ohio" {Ohio Magazine}.  Last time I was home we decided to have a picnic in the garden, and to our delight when we arrived the tulips were in full bloom.  Spring is such a magical yet fleeting time, full of life and new beginnings.  I always try to keep my camera in-hand to make sure I can capture the beautiful blooms that almost seem to disappear before my eyes, at least until next spring!

Side Note: I know I am a bit late to the game, but as most of you know Google Friend Connect will soon be shut down.  Follow Dreams in HD on Bloglovin here!

Paul & Amy Hamilton's Home

I have been a long-time lover of Grace Bonney's wonder-blog Design*Sponge, so imagine my surprise and delight when she recently featured a beautiful home from none other than my home state of Ohio.  The home, named Skipping Rock Farm, belongs to artists Paul & Amy Hamilton and is located in Granville, Ohio.  This place to me just feels so whimsical, unique, and above-all cozy.  Loving it!
