Cranky King &
Queen raise our glasses in a toast to a wonderful B&B Keeper by the name of
Laurie Doyle, owner of
Abigail's Grape Leaf Bed & Breakfast in Hermann, Missouri...After the
Royal Couple had spent 3 nights in St. Louis, it was time to slow the pace down in the lovely Germantown of Hermann. Laurie greeted us with a smile, & as we opened the door to our room, we stepped back in time...
 |
| The front entrance to our room, The Milliner's Bedchamber Suite | |
|
 |
| A bed fit for a Queen...even a Cranky One! |
|
|
|
 |
| This settee was the perfect place to kick up your feet & relax after a long day of traveling! |
 |
| Don't you just adore the eating area, equipped with everything you would need to feel right at home? No cleaning, laundry or walking the dog either... |
 |
| ...and the Queen soaked in this tub for a very, very long time~bath bubbles, scented salts, & floating petals provided... |
 |
| Cranky King wasn't even "cranky" that he had no shower...rub~a~dub~dub |
 |
| Because our suite had been a Millinery Shop years ago, the decor was centered around hats. |
 |
| The room's decor was just breathtaking and Laurie made you feel so welcome. |
 |
| Breakfast was served on the veranda. The Royal Couple making a Morning Toast! |
 |
| Laurie is a wonderful cook. The breakfast was delicious! Almost to pretty to eat... |
 |
| ...but we did & it was scrumptious! |
We would definitely recommend Abigail's Grape Leaf B&B to anyone who would like to spend an enchanted night in a relaxed setting with charm that you cannot find in a hotel...
 |
| Hermann is such a quaint town, filled with beautiful homes, antique~gift shops & surrounded by wineries & wonderful restaurants. |
Because Laurie was such a sweetheart, welcoming us with open arms, giving us all the information needed for shopping, dining, sight seeing...I made her something special for the Milliner's Bedchamber Suite.
 |
| Beautiful little girls showing off their beautiful hats... |
 |
| I adorned the hanging with various vintage lace, ribbon, old jewelry & buttons. |
 |
| The background is a dictionary page with "milliner" and "millinery" definitions |
I hope that Laurie will enjoy the gift as much as we enjoyed staying at her wonderful B&B!
STAY CALM & RELAX!
