we love our southern beauty, but there’s beauty everywhere . kristen recently spent time in her homeland; wisconsin. so here’s a week of posts of beauty elsewhere.
every couple of years we make our way back to wisconsin for a quick visit. this year we were there in the early beginnings of their fall….before the snow. i am sharing some details of our visit.

every time we make it up north we visit our friends john and kathy. they live in a little town called downsville where they raise chickens, tend to a big vegetable and flower garden and john makes and sells his pottery. i have always admired the textures and the overall natural beauty and spirit of their homestead and love seeing how it evolves over time.
a view looking up from the garden. they have recently started to add solar panels to power their home.
the most recent addition is the octagonal schoolhouse that they have moved to their land. they are now renovating it and will soon be the new location for the pottery shop. they also plan to host small music events, art shows, and speakers and lecturers in the space.
a view of the dunn county pottery shop. all pieces are sold via the honor system and payment is placed in a small wooden box.
