Hometown Walkabout




Hello Again!

I had every intention of taking a few days off to focus on moving stuff,
and I still do...we're taking another load over right now.

But yesterday evening after dinner, I took a walkabout around my
new hometown of Fredericksburg Texas, and captured
some random beauty through my lens.

Hope you like!
















If you're ever in my neck of the woods,
I invite you to take a walkabout with me.
It's a gorgeous little town!

Happy Wednesday!

The gorgeous image of the pathway surrounded by greenery is like something from The Secret Garden - just stunning :-) The Rather Sweet Bakery sounds like a delicious place to visit!

Vintage Market Place said...

I love walking around Fredericksburg
I have been in that very cafe, and it was Rather Sweet LOL, it is a darling town.
I love the little fish pond outside one little sitting area, I can't remember what shops are right around that little pond. But the pond I will never forget.
Enjoy your new town and your evening walks.

I love Fredericksburg! We used to visit quite a bit when we lived in Waco. There used to be a wonderful Sunday buffet at the Sunday House! I think that's where it was! :) Love your snap of the path amid the bushes! Have fun!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

I enjoyed my visit to your town a couple of years ago when I made the pilgrimage to Homestead. WOW! I enjoyed the pretty town so much. So glad to see the bakery is still there. YUM! Love that little birdie pic.

Angela said...

It is such a wonderful place. When we were in New Braunfels visiting my brother recently, I was thinking about you. Occasionally we go to Fredricksbury shopping.
You certainly have a HOT time of year to move!

My Grama's Soul said...

Oh dear Anne....Fredericksburg is such a sweet little town. Had lunch at the Peachtree Cafe (I think this is in Fredericksburg LOL) when we were in the hill country last year....loved every minute of it.

BTW. I know how far the drive is during your moving.....you and sweet hubby must spend quite a bit of time on the little road between Kerville and Fredericksburg....although, if I remember it is quite a pretty drive.

Hi Anne,
I lived in Texas when I was younger and have missed it ever since I moved to California! Hubby and I have been talking about moving to Texas, let me know what you think about your new town, we're not sure yet where we should look. Fredericksburg looks beautiful though!
Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Melinda

Unknown said...

Yes it is I think I told you that a friend of mine lives in near there, and I always said that if I ever move it will be there...Love that town

So Anne, have I ever asked you how close to Spring TX you are. That is where hubs, sister and family live. One day we hope to get down there for a visit.

We visited it there several years ago. I enjoyed all the shops. Lucky you to live there.

It's beautiful, Anne. I hope you and your family will be happy there.

Hill Country House Girl said...

Wanna walkabout together one evening? I would love to see through your eyes.

Missy @ Chateau Chic Boutique said...

Hi Anne!
I LOVE Texas, I have a lot of memories tucked in my heart from several trips with my late Husband. I bet had he not went home with the Lord, we probably would've moved there by now. I love all the beautiful photos you share.
Your new curtains are perfect for you bedroom and yes, an awesome crusty, chippy "awning" would be the perfect finishing touch. Maybe Mr. Twig would temporarily forget about all the ruffles devouring him while sleeping under it. Ha!
Now I feel better that I'm caught up with F & T. Have a blessed week getting more settled in your charming home.
Missy

Cindy said...

I LOVE Fredricksburg! I get down there (from SW Fort Worth) every chance I get. Beautiful photos as usual! Thanks for sharing!

Unknown said...

Ahhh... Fredricksburg! I've spent plenty of moola there! One of my favorite places to shop and have a girl's day out. My mom and I would usually go together. Since moving to CA I only get to go about once every few years. Lunch at the Peach Tree for sure!

Arabella said...

very charming, Anne. I'll have to put Fredricksburg on my must-visit list!

Brooke ~ The Eclectic Cottage said...

Your new hometown looks so charming! I'll have to add Fredricksburg to my must see list!

Sandi~A Cottage Muse said...

Loving that little red chair...it would go perfect with the watering can I showed on my blog yesterday!

Lili said...

Oh Anne what a darling little town! And isn't it the same place that that uber talented lady Rose lives (her last name escapes me right now). She will be in good company with you there and of course now Fredricksburg will be synonomous with Anne Lorys too! Love love love that little birdie on the chippy iron scroll. xoxo ~Lili

Lili said...

Hicks!! Rose Hicks -- I just remembered!

Tricia said...

Oh, what a pretty place. I wish I could see it in person. I am nearly postive that I saw something about the Rather Sweet bakery in a magazine once. Boy, it looks cute.

I had a great time in Fredricksburg...........
It will be fun to relive it thru your photos!

Jane said...

It has been almost 30 years (gasp) since I have been to Fredricksburg. I gasped because I visited there shortly after I got out of college.....it can't possibly be almost 30 years since college!!
I loved the town then and I'm sure I would love it now too.
Your photos are gorgeous!
Jane
