While out on a country drive Sunday morning, we found ourselves here, at the Pink House Cafe. It reminded me a little of our own doll house bakery.
I thought it would be fun to take you on a little tour. Standing on the front porch. There are little tables set up in and around the house in various places.
The front door greets you--like stepping inside a doll house.
As I understand it, the house was built in the late 1800's, and moved twice in order to save it. I wish I knew what was at the top of the stairs.
The current owner spent years restoring the house to it's former glory, then opened it as a cafe about a month ago. It's all very warm and inviting.
The Mister and I chose to sit on this sunny side-porch. (Love this darling child-size table set.)
The food and service was excellent--prices were also quite reasonable. If you find yourself in the area, just taking a "country drive" or bicycling through, I highly recommend it.
Hi Vicki~ I LOVE this! I want to paint our house pink so this is very inspiring! Thanks for the tour! ~Mandy

That is such a lovely house. I would absolutely paint our house pink, but somehow I think my love wouldn't agree. :-)

Well Vicki, I checked it out... It will only take me 1 day and 20 hours to get there, but oh what fun it would be to eat at The Pink (Doll) House. Is it Tea time? ;-)

What a sweet little dollhouse cafe! The treats must be super yummy too! Oh there's a giveaway in my blog if you're interested.

...Speaking of PINK houses, the house I live in was painted pink when we bought it. Unfortunately the siding had to be replaced and it was repainted a sunny yellow instead. We did choose pink for the little playhouse we built out back though, as a reminder. I love old houses, especially pink ones!

Thanks so much for sharing. It was a lovely little escape - you even took a pic of the food. I love that! I do that, and people always look at me oddly. You captured everything perfectly!
