Haute Halloween

October 10, 2012July 28, 2015

I’d be remiss if I made jaunt down to New Orleans and didn’t share bestie R’s house decked out in Halloween couture.  As always, he’s masterfully decked out his gorgeous Uptown home in holiday finery. Isn’t it just grand!?!?  Now, I’ve got to get cracking…apparently our Halloween witch left a bunch of I.O.U.s while I… Read More

We wrapped up our annual visit with besties R and J in the Big Easy doing what we do best – shopping, eating and sipping.  We headed to our collective favorite part of the city to hit up some of our favorite shops in the country – Magazine Street!! Shops at 2011 AKA Stella Gray… Read More

New Orleans: Day 2

October 9, 2012July 28, 2015

Day 2 in the Crescent City kicked off with a divine brunch, bloody mary bar and live music at Atchafalaya in Uptown. Afterwards we went on an all day shopping tour of some of bestie R’s fave haunts, including Little Miss Muffin in Lakeview, The Plant Gallery (Home and Garden Store) in Metairie and The… Read More

New Orleans: Day 1

October 7, 2012July 28, 2015

Sister and I have arrived in New Orleans for our annual shopping, dining and cocktailing spree with bestie R (of the Uptown Acorn) and bestie J. After quite a debacle getting out of Atlanta (think missing flights, losing my shoes in security, encountering an ice cream sales man, getting stuck next to another telling awkward… Read More

New Orleans {Oysteria}

December 8, 2011July 28, 2015

As promised in my shopping segment, I’m back with details on our most prized find of the long weekend dubbed “Oysteria Hysteria.”  You see, Sister, bestie R and I are all pretty much ga-ga over those magnificent molluscs.  After gifting us each a perfectly exquisite Oysteria ornament on our arrival, R took us in Mitch’s,… Read More

New Orleans {Cocktails}

December 6, 2011July 28, 2015

One thing’s for sure…besties R and J know how to have a grand time!  From sun up to well past sun down, we sipped on a bevvy of scrumptious libations while shopping and eating our way from one end of the city to the other.  Here are our faves… The Rib Room We couldn’t pass… 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!
