Friday Feature, Inspired by charm

This weeks Friday feature is Michael’s blog, Inspired by Charm, live a colorful live. I don’t know how I came across his blog, but I’m so glad I did. Whenever I visit, I always leave with a smile on my face. He is one talented guy and he’s a PA blogger too. Let me tell you about him.

He runs a Bed and Breakfast named Old Charm, in St Marys PA, where he created this colorful sign and shared his progress along the way with us on Facebook. He’s one talented guy and he’s cute too.

His inn and was featured in a magazine and now he writes for that magazine.

He has a gift shop at his inn, where he created this chic chevron wall. It’s so pretty, I think I want to buy something.

He quilts. Yes, that’s right, I said he quilts.

He cooks up luscious breakfasts, like banana-Nutella french toast (seriously) and fancy pies.

and a very unique peacock themed Christmas tree. That tree makes me smile.

The first time I visited his blog was about 2 months ago and I think he had about 800 to 9oo followers and the numbers have gone up quickly.  Today he has 1228. AND you won’t believe how many people follow him on Pinterest! 465,835! That’s 465 thousand and he has no idea how that happened. You can read about it in the FAQ section of his blog. IMG_8206e  

The inn looks so cozy and welcoming, I bet he makes his guests feel comfortable and pampered!

Currently, he is hosting a great giveaway, so head on over, enter the giveaway and spend a little time there.   I’m sure you’ll leave feeling Inspired by Charm.

 

*Pinners, PLEASE use proper Pinterest etiquette and pin from the original site.

    I wanted to pin the recycled sifter/planter but I couldn't find it on the original site. So I decided not to pin it.
