it’s lovely outside… We are all so ready for the weather to stay like this for a few days. Seems like the perfect day to grab lunch outside and the perfect time to share with you this series of photos I’ve been saving from the very gifted Manny Rodriguez of a very simple, very beautiful tree.
Enjoy and happy Tuesday!

um, excuse me… Can I live here?? I’ve hardly been able to sleep since I saw this house. VERY excited to share it with you today. This is the home of the lovely home-obsessed Silka Sanchez who is OCD about interiors as I am. She and her sister-in-law, Theresa, can talk for hours about where to put something (love that about them). She’s one of “our people.” What’s funny to me is she’s not really into the blog-o-sphere. More ebay!? Ebay intimidates me but this motivates me to suck it up and get shopping. Hope you LOVE LOVE LOVE this as much as I do and it leaves you with visions of vintage sugarplums dancing in your head! Stay tuned for Theresa’s home to appear in a few weeks!

let’s get back to the good stuff… relivin’, relovin’, reinventing oldies but goodies. Hope you enjoy these before and afters from Again & Again. Leslie Pritchard is seriously phenomenal. Her eye and knack for finding (or rather SAVING) these gems is a true talent and never ceases to amaze me. From estate sales to thrown out things in the yard this gal is fearless. If you haven’t been to the sister store, Again Design Studio lately you need to!! She recently brought in Roger Harrell to manage a consignment component and the store is literally overflowing with gorgeous pieces. I saw at least ten things I couldn’t live without. I just kept thinking “Where does she find all this stuff???”
Hope you enjoy these rescued gems as much as I do!

isn’t this fun… I mean, just look at that face?! I’m having the time of my life. Every day is a new adventure and a blast. This month I’m thrilled and extremely grateful to have been featured in two local publications, 360 West and Modern Luxury. I want to extend a special thank you to the two incredibly gifted women who included me, Meda Kessler (Editor, 360 West) and Rebecca Sherman (Writer, Modern Luxury - and yes! that was her amazing house last week!).
A huge honor to be included in both publications - more info on each story below.

so beautiful it hurts… By now you may have picked up on my love affair with the new lower Greenville boutique, Bows and Arrows, but what I have kept from you is my FAVORITE thing about this little gem. THE FLOWERS. OH. MY. My latest write up in FD Luxe hit the stands today and it’s a short feature on the gorgeous talents of Alicia Rico. I’m truly head over heals for these beauties. AMAZING, I tell you.
Read the full story here about Alicia’s work and classes they are offering (yes, I will be taking one so stay tuned for that!) and see below for more shots from the photo shoot.
