Dixie Delights - musings, goings & doings of a so-southern girl

I Love {Blue Willow}

October 7, 2011July 28, 2015

The way I see it, Blue Willow is a citadel of classic Southern china.  Around for the last two hundred years or so, it seems that down in Dixie most good, Southern girls have at least a piece or two in their collection.  I mean, the very same, pure white clay used to make the china… Read More

The Years Are Short

October 6, 2011July 28, 2015

Yesterday, I was flipping through pics on my iphone and came across this sweet thing, taken shortly before our Disney trip. It melts my heart to see that darling boy sleeping in the very same way he’s slept all of his two and three quarter years on this earth.  In the same sideways position, right… Read More

A Triple and A Snack

October 5, 2011July 28, 2015

Just after we arrived home from Disney, it was time to get right back into the swing of things.  Literally.  The PCP was thrilled to see his Ironbirds team mates again and to have Sister, her Mister and Bird come cheer him on at his first game back.  And I was thrilled to take my… Read More

Come Inside…If You Dare

October 4, 2011July 28, 2015

Just as soon as we arrived home from Disney, I enlisted our house goblin (more commonly known as Honey) to scour our spooky, spider filled attic for the Halloween storage bins of yesteryear.  And the very next day, the little ghouls and I headed to the dollar store for a buggy full of supplemental crows… Read More

My Disney recap was a few days behind, so we’ve been back for a couple of days decorating and counting down to one of our favorite holidays of the year…HaLlOwEeN!!!!! If there’s one thing we all love and get behind around these parts, it’s counting down to anything special.  We counted down to Christmas, counted… Read More

Disney Day 5: Magic Kingdom (again!)

October 2, 2011August 3, 2015

We started our last day in Disney at a magical breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table.  With reservations an hour before the park opened, we were one of the first in the gates at a quarter to eight.  It was an extraordinary feeling to be walking down main street without a swarm of people! Months ago… Read More

Disney Day 4: Hollywood Studios

October 1, 2011August 3, 2015

After taking it *easy* for a day in Epcot, we were up and at ’em again for breakfast at Chef Mickey’s.  We hopped on the monorail and, after much pondering about the “cool building that the monorail goes right through”, the littles were pretty excited to disembark at the Contemporary for a change. The littles… 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!
