The Civil War at Fort Pulaski

September 4, 2016September 4, 2016

John is the throes of learning about the Civil War at school.  It’s something I’ve always been interested in, and I’ve so enjoyed helping him understand the war and what times were like for the South during those four years.  We’re watching Gone with the Wind, we visited Stone Mountain in Atlanta and we dug… Read More

Bye, Hermine

September 3, 2016September 6, 2016

We were a little worried all week that Hermine would disrupt our plans to travel home to Savannah for the long weekend.  As luck would have it, she rolled in and out and both my parent’s and Sister’s places were spared any damage at all.  We’ve had the most gorgeous weather.  Our first day the… Read More

From China with Love

September 1, 2016November 14, 2016

Many moons ago, Mother carefully carried three wonderful statues all around China in her backpack.  They have rotated in and out of her decor, popping up in various rooms, over the years.  When I was looking for something gorgeous and blue and white to sit atop sconces on either side of the huge mirror in… Read More

I am so excited to give y’all a peek into what must be one of Oklahoma’s loveliest homes, Eleven Gables.  Emily has a fabulous updated traditional style, favors everything blue and white, and is mom to four boys!  Since 2006, Emily has worked tirelessly to update every single room and bring her signature style to Eleven… Read More

A Perfectly Pink Room for CeeCee

August 30, 2016August 30, 2016

I could literally squeal with excitement over this next little project – collaborating with Sister on a perfectly pink room for CeeCee.  While our styles are a little different, mine leaning towards ruffly and fru fru and hers being more understated and neutral, we are both decidedly traditional, we adore antiques and we fill our homes with… Read More

Magical Monday {Disney Memories}

August 29, 2016August 29, 2016

Our very favorite way to look back on our Disney trips is with these little photo / signature books.  The littles collect character signatures during our trips and then we go through the photos once we are back home and load them up with memories! Just last week we got all the pics from our… Read More

I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl, and opening this felt like discovering a treasure chest. Honestly, it radiated just as much happiness and joy at 50. ❤️

My friend Katie recently launched @itsyourstorygifts, creating reading gift sets centered around a surprise chapter book and absolutely stuffed with bookish goodies. She sent me one of her Signature Book Boxes to experience for myself, and as you can see… it just kept going.

Everything was prepared with so much care and thought. I immediately pictured the child who would absolutely light up opening one of these, whether it arrived for a birthday, to celebrate something special, during a hard season or simply to say, “I’m thinking of you.”

I’m sharing much more about Katie, her new business and what’s inside the box on the blog today.

And stay tuned. We have something fun coming later this week!

Mahjong, but make it cards. @playhootenanny gifte Mahjong, but make it cards.

@playhootenanny gifted me their Mahjong Playing Cards, and Honey and I took them along on our recent weekend away. They’re beautiful, easy to pack and such a fun way to play when traveling with an entire mahjong setup isn’t exactly practical.

We picked it up surprisingly quickly, and these have officially earned a spot in my travel bag.

I shared more on the blog today, including a link to the set on Amazon!

This trip was never really about New York. It was This trip was never really about New York.

It was about watching two incredible kids chase big dreams, cheering them on from the front row, and soaking up every minute together.

The city was amazing… but these memories mean even more. 🤍🗽

To JB and Cee: we couldn’t be more proud. Enjoy summer in the city!
