my space, 1 BR 1 BA in the little town of Hayesville

where my car will park

view of surrounding buildings and houses, i love the tall trees :)

living room and kitchen, very good odds the carpet will be replaced before i move in, fingers are crossed, recliner goes to their storage along with anything else i don't want in the cabin.  i'll cover the rest of the furniture w/ my fabrics so it will feel more familiar, and lace curtain in kitchen has got to go...

all utilities included along with cable so i can watch Brothers & Sisters, current.tv (hopefully) and get my foodtv fixes...

Brasstown!

The Brasstown Mall is a series of shops selling local art, and i can't get my mind around a pool table sales store in the middle of all of it...

yes, Clay's Corner is the possum capital of the world and it is where you can buy icecream cones and hear live music on Friday nights

Entrance to the Folk School

Keith House is the gathering place for the folk school

Every Tuesday night there is Contra dancing in the Keith House. Contra dancing is similar to square dancing except that it is not limited to squares... it is fascinating, a geometrically orchestrated passing of one person to the next.  this was my first dance and it is zen like in that you totally loose yourself in the process so you can keep up with where to go next!

there is a history center at the folk school. i think the school was founded in 1925.
