Note from the designer of this blog

I've been asked by the owners of MonteBello to create mousepads featuring images from MonteBello B&B Inn and put them up at my CafePress shop. I did that today and I put two mousepads up. My CafePress shop is at http://www.cafepress.com/fiberwoman15. Please take a look and see if any of the mousepads are for you. Thanks!

Owners of MonteBello in Farmscape!

Farmscape is the title of a play written by Mary Swander, Iowa Poet Laureate, and her ISU Creative Writing graduate students. The play is based on interviews with rural Iowa residents whose lives and lands have been affected farm crises, the economy and their proximity to urban areas. Daphne and Jaime were included in this play because their Bed and Breakfast property was at one point—and continues to be—in an area ideal for development. Jaime has played himself in several showings of this play, most recently at the Hearst Center in Cedar Falls, Iowa on November 7, 2009.

Facets

MonteBello B&B Inn was featured on the cover of Facets in July of 2009. The article told of how Daphne and Jaime Reyes have dealt with the existing economic situation. The quote on the cover, “A little slice of heaven close to home”, was from a guest staying at the time.
