~The Walker Homestead Part 1

   If you missed out on the Antiques & Primitive Goods Show over at the Walker Homestead in Brookfield, MA this past Saturday, I’ll share with you what I hope to have captured...the essence and feeling of this beautiful place. I feel very at peace when I come here, it’s like taking a step back in time. I had the opportunity to walk around the day before the show and capture these images while it was very still & quiet. There was a bit of mist in the air after a hard rain, and I think it made for some beautiful shots. Since I have so many photos from this event, I will start by devoting this post just to my sweet friends & hostesses from the Walker Homestead, Kris Casucci & Doreen Piechota.
