This barn is just outside of Wisconsin Rapids on George Road. Isn't "she" a beauty?Little aside about the name of MY town: When I tell folks from other states that I live in Wisconsin Rapids, they OFTEN say, "Don't you mean Rapids, Wisconsin???"
"Uh, no - - - I MEAN Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin."
Ha - - - I think I know where I live.
Now back to the barn business at hand - - -
Neat as a pin and definitely still a working barn - - - at least of sorts. I forgot to ask if the main barn houses cows or cattle, though I didn't see any about the place.
This end of the barn has horse stalls and is the work room of my friend - - -
Lori. Lori keeps her horses in the stalls and fashions her "magic" to sell later in her little shop - - -
The Quiet Star, one of the cutest antique and collectibles shops around. But, it is only open three times a year, so you gotta get on the mailing list if you don't want to make a wasted trip.You can see MORE of this darling shop here and here, not to mention all of "it" that you will see if you follow me around my house - - - 'cause I've been bringing home the bacon!!!
Now, head on over to see the OTHER amazing barns at Barn Charm this week.

I like the rich look of the wood on the barn!
It is nice and neat - I like them that way. I couldn't be a messy farmer. :)
Love that row of old wheels and milk cans!
Lovely post!
Please tell your friend her store looks so inviting. I'd come shop if I was close.
Another great barn complex. Nice weathered barn wood. Do they have livestock? I like the Quiet Star name too.
Nice barn. I like the wheels and cream cans along the side.
I would love to visit the Quiet Star. It's so cute.
Lovely barn and The Quiet Star looks like a delightful shop!
Oh that is cute Keetha!
Yes, I will have to get up there sometime for one of her sales!
Again I am blogging late at night.
Took care of Addi for part of the day and then sat with my Mom in the ER for 3 hours.
She's ok, an infection but it was making her terribly dizzy.
I probably should go to bed.
Hugs friend,
Cindy
Beautiful barn ... so is her shop at the farm?
A perfect subject for this meme. It is positively charming!
nice one! i would love to check out that little shop!
Oh, that's a charming barn! I'd love to visit her shop......I've never been to Wisconsin, but Wisconsin Rapids sounds like someplace I need to visit! :)
Nice barns...that little shop looks so inviting!
stopping here makes me homesick!!! growing up nearby, i don't think twice about hearing wisconsin rapids. :)
love those dairy farms!
LOVE dark wood barns, they're my fave of all! What a beauty & cute like wood fence & wheels ... cute shop, too.
Thanks for joining =)
Beautiful barn and shop! I'd love to visit the Quiet Star. Love the look of the lane going up to the barn in the first shot, too.
What a great set up! Love those old wagon wheels and the rusty old milk cans too!
Gorgeous! And I would LOVE to visit that antique shop....alas, Wisconsin is a bit of a trip from Virginia - even to antique!
Wait, don't you mean Rapids, Wisconsin??
And that barn is awesome, even if it may not be home to smelly cows. Her shop is so adorable - I love it!!
That is a neat barn, literally!
I was driving to a friends house and passed by three cows grazing on a persons front yard. There was a police officer and home owner scratching their heads. Apparently the cows got loose from a farm and no one knew what to do.
wow, that is one beautiful place. i like when they are neat and tidy and i like when they are falling apart ;))))
What a challenge it must be to keep such an orderly place when so much has to go on to keep a farm running--sign of a good farmer. But any livestock and crops are just as well tended. Good luck to your friend with her creative venture.
Gorgeous barn and buildings, Keetha. And what a neat friend to have -- I'd love to browse her shop!
A neat "working barn" that looks so good. Interesting detail including the Quiet Star. Nice post.
Lori has a beautiful setting for her shop!
Three times a year!?!
Wow! It would be like a giant treasure hunt! I love her schedule.
It's a little far for me to come, though....Rapids OR Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin!
Yes, that's a beautiful barn.
On Wisconsin Rapids - as you know, Central, South Carolina gets some misunderstanding, too. It's in the Northwest corner, not in the center.
