When Apartment Therapy featured Blackberry Farm, the ultra-posh Smoky Mountain inn (just 25 minutes outside Knoxville, Tennessee), we couldn't resist visiting their website.  That's when we learned about "Blackberry Farm Living," an exclusive ownership opportunity.  The select few can purchase one of twenty-five turn-key homes and cottages at this fabulous resort.  We've posted some screenshots, but you'll find more information and gorgeous photos on their website.

What we love most about the project is the development team's dedication to environmental and architectural integrity.  The homesites are carefully situated and "protected by thousands of acres held in a conservation easement," and guidelines have been established "to help owners create homes that reflect the spirit of Blackberry’s signature architectural style."


And that's only the beginning....

As a Private Owner, you’ll savor the exceptional tastes of the Blackberry community like never before. Cellars filled with extraordinary wines and spirits. Baskets of heirloom vegetables, charcuterie and cheeses waiting on your doorstep. From exclusive tastings to in-home events with master chefs, owners will enjoy unforgettable experiences, adventures and enrichment. -- read more at Blackberry Farm Living

SUPPORT A CAUSE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON AT FOUND MY ANIMAL

Remodelista, one of our all-time favorite sites, posted an entry on "Holiday Gifts for the Dog Lover." They featured some cool products, but this was our favorite -- the FOUND P.E.T. rope leash, available at the Found My Animal Shop (www.foundmyanimal.com/shop).  It comes in standard or adjustable sizes and a variety of colors (natural, black and white).  

But here's the best part -- the products are made by a "Brooklyn, NY based company that donates a full 25% of all...profits to the Louis Animal Foundation," which "operates a mobile medical unit where veterinarians can spay and neuter animals in rural communities where access to these services is often both physically and financially limited."

To learn more, visit Found My Animal (www.foundmyanimal.com), or read the original post at Remodelista.

We'll also add a little photobox and link on our sidebar for those who miss this post because we'd like to show our support for this great organization and their dedication to our furry friends!
