Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you’ve spent the day doing something you love followed up with a nice dinner either out somewhere nice or tucked away at home. Thought you might enjoy this photo that I took while I was at…

It’s nice to be out walking when the temps rose to the 70’s and the sun was shining so brightly. After a short time ago worrying about pipes freezing, listening to the drip, drip, drip of the faucet and wearing layers the past few days have been a nice change…

So many of you have experienced record snowfall in the past month or two – and more specifically this past weekend. There were varied amounts that fell throughout the area. We didn’t have a lot, but the road did look icy yesterday morning. I snapped this once it had been melting for a while. It was nice to wake up to fresh, beautiful snow. Especially knowing it won’t be there long…

It’s winter in the Lowcountry (and is actually going to feel like it this weekend with low temps dropping to the 20’s and the highs in the 30’s and 40’s). We have nothing to complain about compared to the rest of the country, that’s for sure! Walking in the sunshine feels so good, it can warm you right up, pop over to the shady side of the street and you’ll need a coat for sure!

Serena & Lily breathed life into an old space that sat vacant for quite some time. Located in downtown Charleston (on the peninsula) this is a space that is a delight to walk through. It helps so much to see their items in person. It’s difficult to judge the size, color, etc. online. If you aren’t familiar with Serena & Lily, check out their website. Design inspiration!

Charleston, South Carolina. Where history has been preserved for many of the older, grand homes on the peninsula of Charleston. I like to refer to this stunning example of architecture simply as “my house”. This is not my house, I’ve never even been in it, but I’ve admired it for the past many decades that I’ve lived in Charleston. It’s always kept up to perfection. The doors, stained. The exterior always freshly painted. Never even a smudge, just beauty everywhere you look.

We had a few errands to run the other evening. So we headed out expecting the every day traffic, and it didn’t disappoint. So we took an alternate route and this was our view. How stunning to live in such a beautiful area. January in Charleston, sunset. It kept getting better and better. I mean, THESE CLOUDS!!!! Wow…

So far, 2026 is proving to be a motivational, “get things done” kind of year. From drawers to moving furniture around (again) and the subsequent cleaning that comes with each move, it’s exciting to be in the same house, yet have it feel so different. Future 2026, make a shift from white walls to walls with color? We’ve always loved saturated color, darker colors. Then made a change to all white. Fresh. Now, it’s getting tiresome. Especially with all…

Well, now that we’re a few days into the New Year – how is it going? Sending wishes that it will be your best year yet! Many of us are striving to be healthier, eat cleaner, exercise more. Coming soon, a few recipes to help with that endeavor (and I’m sure a few that won’t). My philosophy is that to be good (eating wise), it’s ok to not be perfect. Allow yourself a treat now and then and then get back to it!

January is almost upon us so we thought we would get a head start on health and fitness and head out on a fast walk. Somewhere different. We usually walk our neck of the woods, which is beautiful, but… It’s so nice to get out and walk somewhere different. Different views which are so nice! I had to do a good deal of walk/running to keep up with my husband because I kept stopping to take a photo…

Are you looking for a lovely gift? A special holiday gift for someone to let them know you’re thinking of them? This is an excellent idea! A friend gave me one last year, and it’s been so special (and every time I see the candle I think of the person who gave it to me). It’s a lovely scent, not overpowering – just right!

I have to say, Charleston, SC is about as festive as can be. We haven’t been downtown in quite a while so it was nice to get out on a cool day, walk the streets, pop in the shops and check things out. Visitors in our own town. What can be better? You’re home in 5 minutes, no packing required!

Ladybird Books, new to the Charleston, SC scene opened late October of this year. We stopped in and checked it out, it’s SO nice – the kind of nice you don’t want to leave. It’s welcoming and it was refreshing to see so many young people (in addition to older people) looking at books and BUYING…

This reminds me of the tissue paper flowers I made in grade school, does anyone remember those? I took this photo in Summerville, SC a few weeks ago. I saw on a post from last year that I took a photo of the same stunning bush of flowers, but a month earlier. They were darker in color and just as stunning. I did a reverse Google search to figure out what it’s called…

Looking for something to do in Charleston, SC this weekend? Have I got an idea for you! Check to see if there are any tickets remaining to see the Sound of Music and the North Charleston Performing Arts Center. Wow! I couldn’t have been more impressed! The show started on 11/4 and runs through 11/9/25! From the very first note I was captivated right until the end. Each and every person on the stage was out of this world fabulous.
