On Thursday, December 10th, Tobi's feature was "Suzanne Kasler and Blackberry Farm". Blackberry Farm is an amazing resort in Walland, Tennessee that has been voted the number one small resort by the Zagat Survey. Suzanne has worked with the Beals to create a luxurious gettaway in the Great Smoky Mountains. She has completed the interiors in individual cottages, restaurants and other places at the resort. One of the many comments from Tobi's post stated: " What a treat to see these pictures! Blackberry Farm is definitely on my list of places to go. They have a no children policy with the exception of Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I will just have to find someone to stay with the children and take a weekend away! I love seeing how versatile Suzanne can be - she does not have a signature style as far as I can tell. Comment by Things That Inspire — December 11, 2009 @ 6:14 am"
On Friday, December 11th, Tobi's last post on Suzanne Kasler was entitled "Christmas House with Suzanne Kasler".

In Tobi's post she shows beautiful images of Suzanne's rooms at the showhouse. On of her readers commented: "What an amazing talent she is. My daughters gave me her book for my birthday, and we have taken turns pouring over it! My husband and I have been fortunate enough to have stayed at Blackberry Farm which is a HUGE treat.
