Packing for long weekend in Savannah. Events include Holiday Shopping market at St. Vincent’s Academy tomorrow night, and black tie wedding Sat. night. So far I’ve packed 4 kinds of Spanx, 2 cocktail dresses, 3 pairs of yoga pants and a whole lotta vintage sparkle November 30, 2016November 30, 2016 Instagram filter used: Normal View in Instagram ⇒
Here’s a detail of the porch Christmas tree–do you spy the critters who inspired the name of our house! They’re new, but I scored them at @antiquesbeyond on Cheshire Bridge Rd. In Atlanta. The only other decorations on the tree are dried hydrangeas and pine cones (which we spray flocked) from the yard, and some wired ribbon.

Had some neighbors drop in for drinks last night–because a clean, Christmas house is a terrible thing to waste. Kitchen bar stools are from @serenaandlily–and they are really comfy when you’re polishing silver that hasn’t been polished in a looong time… November 30, 2016November 29, 2016 Instagram filter used: Clarendon View in Instagram ⇒

Current situation: photo dude Christopher Oquendo is here shooting our double-wide all dressed up for the @ajcnews. Look for story and pix in this Sunday’s Homefinder section.

Remember those vintage postcards I picked up at the Chelsea Flea Market in NYC? Here’s their moment in my kitchen. Some butchers twine and teensy clothes pins. And those awesome little @commandbrand thingies November 30, 2016November 28, 2016 Instagram filter used: Clarendon View in Instagram ⇒

The table in my foyer has been foofed up with my blue and white, greenery foraged from our yard and my tartantastic table topper. I sacrificed six different vintage wool stadium blankets and sewed it my very ownself! I was so pumped to figure out the zigzag stitch on my machine–AND I did multiple bobbin rewinds. Not giving up my day job as a novelist just yet, but I am absurdly thrilled with this silly little accomplishment November 30, 2016November 28, 2016 Instagram filter used: Juno View in Instagram ⇒
