Saturday was such a great day for a drive - so Keven and I took off on the backroads to the southeast of Oklahoma City. We did have a destination in mind - Country Cottage Primitives and Lavender Farm on the western outskirts of Shawnee, OK. This place is a true jewel off a small country road - well-visited due to its good word-of-mouth reputation and coverage on local OKC travel shows.
Besides having a slowly expanding lavender farm out back, the building that houses the Country Cottage Primitives gift shop is to-die-for cottage gorgeous. Words can’t do it justice, so here are the pics...
If you are in the area - this is a must see place - to me it is magical. They always decorate for the season. Please visit their website - they have workshops, products and beautiful pictures.

After paying for all my purchases at the Lavender Farm, and after Keven was able to pry my fingers off the porch rail of the cottage and get me in the car, we headed into Shawnee to eat at Benedict Street Marketplace, which was recommended to us. It was kind of a mix between a tea room and a meat market - yep, hard to imagine, but that is really what it was. Excellent sandwiches and salads, homemade cookies - then, after lunch you can purchase cuts of meat and cheese from the meat market. Just never know what you will find when out driving the backroads!
Here are pics from along the backroads to and from the Lavender Farm.
What an awesome day !!!
Blessings,
