Hugo Grenville

I am loving these paintings by Hugo Grenville that I found on Marisa's blog.

The days seem to be flying by faster than ever.  I hope that all of you moms (and teachers) out there are hanging in there as the last weeks of school seem to be the busiest.

I love the look of cane patterns. Here are some fun goodies from C Wonder.

They are putting me in the mood for a festive weekend!

Aunt Lilly

Please forgive me for not blogging in forever! I have not wanted to post until I could write something about this amazing woman...

Words are not my strong suit so I found a few of my favorite photos of her...

And thought it would be fun to share a little personal story about her..

Many years ago our rehearsal dinner was at her house and she used these pinatas adorned with strands of pearls and yards of tulle as centerpieces.

That very same day her house was shot for this fun book...

The next Christmas she sent us the book and we opened it to see this written on the first page.

and this on the second...

This book makes me smile every time I look at it.  It is the best "regift" ever.
I snapped this photo of her front door a few weeks ago.  I am sad that I will probably never walk through that door again.

but I am thankful for all of the times that I did and I know that she will continue to inspire me to live life more passionately.

crisp white with smocking

I love the timeless beauty of hand smocking.  These are 3 outfits from our children's collection that have smocking on fresh white cotton.

Do you love smocking as much as I do? I hope that your Monday is off to a great start.  Spring has finally arrived in Nashville.

Atlanta upholstery

Our new store is open and the vintage love seats are feeing a little shabby next to so much new.  So I am looking for an upholsterer.  If you have any ideas will you let me know so that my vintage pair can be wearing the same fabulous blue fabric as above?

west elm sale

Having our Nashville store next to West Elm is a dangerous thing.  Here are some treasures that are now on SALE!
