ravishing, lavishing
well friends, krystle and I are off to atlanta this weekend for the lavish conference! I'm super excited about all of the experiences that will be at my fingertips, and the new friends I will meet! the opening party is tonight, and I had to have a fancy dress...I don't do fancy a lot....so, lucky for me, I have a friend who knew exactly what I would need...rebecca at salon 864 and boutique showed me this little number, and I loved it at first sight!
I will be speaking on a panel along with grace bonney, ginny branch stelling, ashley meaders, amy osaba, and emily newman! I cannot wait to be in these girls presence...just looking at their blogs makes me frothy enough.....but, to get to listen to them speak...and then head out to dinner with them afterwards is almost more than I can bear! I'm super, super pumped and ready for a fun time!
There is also a big party on Saturday night with the Rue Magazine and HGTV peoples!! Woot!
If you are attending, please come by and say "hello"!! I would love to meet you!
I promise to take lots of notes, and fill you in next week, but for now I better get my frock on, and get ready.....set ......GO!

winter wonderland....
For those of you that asked about the trees in my window... I thought I would give you the deets on them...
This year several of the artists in the district got together and decided to do white paper trees in all of the studio windows...to make them look pretty, and to impress all of the high rollers {from the city of Greenville- we need those grants and city funds!} coming to look at our little arts community!.....we each were given a roll of white paper, and some basic instructions to go by....
I was terrified of doing these trees because it is waaaay out of my comfort zone! Thankfully, my pal lily needed some help getting hers done too {strength in numbers!} so we combined skills.....she drew the trees like a pro, and I wielded a razor blade like a pro....and we came up with these....I love creative collaborations!
....The window looks so great lit up at night with these massive white trees...I think I'll want to leave them up all year round....:)

meet irene....
Can you even believe that I did not take a before photo? I do not know where my brain was, and I am so sorry....but hopefully you will enjoy the after anyway!
This table belongs to my mom.... she brought it with her from Cali.....but it was in need of a little ....{cough, cough}.....transformation love! So, my mom picked out her color and away we went!
I used my mom's middle name for this lovely, fresh lady because I thought it only fitting! My mom loves color,{hmmmm must be in the genes!} and I hope to get a shot of it all installed in her kitchen....if she'll let me :)

I went with very "moody" lighting for these photos....hee hee....I really had no choice....it just was what the studio offered the day I shot these! roll with it baby!
p.s. did you all get a load of the legs on this gal.....shawew!

this week....
....I finally purchased a piece from something's hiding in here. I have looked and looked, and pined away for one of their paint by number states, and when I saw this one I knew the time had come ....
....it will look great with my paint by number horsie horse...and it says "let's go everywhere" which reminds me of the hubs and I and how much we love to travel....and our trip across the U.S. this past summer....good memories....yessiree!
....I hope you all have a great weekend....relax....chill...do the important things.....do silly things....do something......
