southern flourish summer issue...

....i wrote another piece for the southern flourish summer issue...it was a totally different approach for me, and so fun to put together...

... this article was even more exciting and special because i got to work with my sister... using her creative skills as well!... i needed an inspirational photograph to pull an interiors look together, and i was struggling with creating that perfect shot....that is, until i saw this fantastic shot by my sister, and then suddenly the ideas just started billowing and flowing out of my little brain......chairs, mirrors, glass, pillows, furniture, and the fantastic grass serving plates by etsy seller gleena shop...


....i am so proud of my sister, she not only takes beautiful photos....she sews like a champ, and makes the best things.....she has a brand spankin' new etsy shop full of found and created favorites called cranny... and today is her grand opening!....

....AND, my friends...in honor of her grand opening she is having a little giveaway over on her blog where you can enter to win one of her ruffled pillows, and a doily garland!
