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!

Here is a little treat for you...
I hope that you are having a wonderful week!

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




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

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.

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.

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?

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

I am so excited to be in the April issue of Matchbook Magazine! If by chance you don't already read it I promise you will love it!

I am not great at having my picture taken but I am thrilled to now have some new ones with my girls and of course this picture with our 100lb cat .....Jack.  To see more photos of our 3 youngest girls, our house and the store as well as a handful of other talented people head on over.

The Atlanta store is open but I still have a lot of details to finish. I decided to use vintage knobs as hooks for the dressing rooms and had fun perusing Etsy for fabulous knobs.  These are some that I loved but didn't end up getting....
1. beautiful colors on plywood
2. shinny red
3. vintage bunnies
If anyone has any tips on turning knobs into hook....please share.

I am obsessed with all things blue and white lately. Perhaps it is the new store that is mostly blue and white and pink. Perhaps it is the hope that Spring and blue skies are coming soon. What ever the reason I can't seem to get enough.
I found theses goodies on sale at our West Elm.  I got the cups to hold our shiny red pencils at the store and the bowls for candy.
This fun Mara Mi paper table cloth is available at Target stores but not on line.  My friend Gen had the paper napkins at her house and she nicely parted with one that is going on my inspiration board.  I am tempted to run out and find this table cloth...just can't figure out what to make with it.
And of course Oscar de la Renta has some fabulous blue and white in his new home collection...



I know that pantone is loving green this year but at the moment I am feeling blue. I hope that your week is off to a great start!
