Classic Southern Style

Something to remember

As we head into the busy holiday season, remember this!

Yep…that’s right….a purse! I am soooo in love with my new accessory. I found it in Wrapsody, an adorable store in Auburn, Alabama. Such a fun store and oh so dangerous. I could have spent a fortune there! And almost did…lol!

But back to my new bag.

This is from a company I have never seen before. Spartina449. Check out their website. http://www.spartina449.com The company is based in Hilton Head, South Carolina and a portion of the profits go to the Daufauskie Island Historical Foundation. They are recognized for their upscale, designer handbags and accessories. I love so many of their patterns and designs. I especially love the linen and leather combination.

Be sure to check out Wrapsody online also. Great store and very helpful, friendly staff. http://wrapsodyonline.com

Enjoy shopping….and I hope you find something wonderful!

Decorating a Southern Home

College Football Memorabilia
The South loves their college football and Southerners love to decorate with anything related to their team. Whether its a framed jersey of their favorite player, a signed football for the mantel or a blanket for the couch, a true Southern girl will have at least one item in their home. And most will have numerous items throughout the house. Of course, there will be plenty of kitchen and serving items available for use throughout the year….not just for game day! We are SERIOUS fans here!

Me…I’m a Boise State Bronco fan. My home has footballs, mini-helmets, blankets and pictures. I even have a BSU Scentsy burner and a singing BSU Santa (but he’s put away till Christmas)! See….you don’t have to be from the South to be Southern!

And don’t forget the wreath!

Now go be Southern and support your team as much as you want!

How to be a Southern girl…

Easy!

Mason jars, monograms and mind your manners!

I just returned from a wonderful southern wedding in Auburn, Alabama. My beautiful niece Meg married her best friend Cory last Saturday. It was held at a beautiful venue, Water Oak Manor. It is a Greek Revival home that was built in the 1840’s. The classic details and southern charm of the house have been preserved, while all the important updates were completed in 2009. Water Oak Manor is a historic home nested under ancient water oaks and magnificient magnollias.

With thunder overhead and rain threatening, they exchanged the most incredible and heartfelt vows I have heard in a very long time. Luckily, the weather cooperated and the evening continued with amazing food, music, dancing, delicious cake and good friends and family. Congratulations to the happy couple and welcome to the family Cory!
