There is the most wonderful place of country goodness that I have discovered deep in the heart of the tiny town I live in.
The Hen House.
The Hen House is full of all things wonderful... fairy lights, cobwebs, laughter, and the most mouth watering, delicious smelling, homemade soaps and lotion you'll ever come across.
Ever.
The Hen House is a family-run shop on the property of my new friend, Veronica. She shares the shop with her best friend... so you can tell already, good things are happening in this little place. The shop itself is one of the out-buildings of the original dairy that called this gorgeous piece of property home.
From the time you turn onto the drive-way lined with untamed grape vines and rose bushes set off by the beautiful, lush irrigated pastures as a backdrop, a peaceful, warm feeling comes over you.
When you pass under the rusty iron arched trellis, stepping carefully on the concrete stone that has "welcome" scrolled on it, you are greeted by a friendly selection of lazy ranch dogs.
And you indeed feel welcome.
Whether you are being helped by a daughter or a niece or Veronica herself, you feel like the afternoon's most special visitor. You are told about the latest soaps, the yummiest lotion creations, and of course, any local news that has flown through the hen house...
Magical.
