Looks like a nice place for an Easter Brunch!
Exquisite, right? I love this orange table with what reminds me of old time ice cream chairs, and oh! The light yellow umbrella is the perfect accompaniment. I love the shadows from the different plants – This looks like a lovely place for an Easter brunch (or any meal!)

It’s so refreshing to get out and walk somewhere different. We have a few different routes or places that we walk but every once in a while it’s like a mini vacation to drive a few miles away, park and get out and walk somewhere different. It opens your perspective and we see fresh ideas. Plants, flowers, etc.

My husband and I were downtown a few months ago, we walked out of a little shop on King Street and I saw these palms with the light hitting them so perfectly. Striking! I snapped a photo and saved it for today. So beautiful! Looking for some recipe inspiration for Easter, I have a few ideas…

A few wild storms blew through Charleston, SC a few weeks ago and whoosh, it was over. Nothing horrific, thankfully. However, what occurred after the storms subsided was breathtakingly beautiful. The blurriness would be from the raindrops. This color – I love it!

I love sharing good books with y’all – please feel free to give me insight on some of your favorites (non-creepy favorites, ha ha – link below). Distant Shores is a great escape from the everyday world. Do yourself a favor and give yourself a little bit of peace each day. Grab a good book and carve out some time just for you. Even if it’s only 15 minutes – it’s all good! It’s like meditating, but better!

John Derian items are always so interesting. There is a fabulous mix in this gift shop, fabulous scents, paper and stationery products, jewelry, and just beautiful things to make your home your very own. It’s so nice to have a few great places in town where you can pop in for a gift and know it’ll be special.

Spring is magical everywhere in the world, but springtime in Charleston brings a special kind of beauty. The scents wafting through the air are magical. Charleston has many large live oak trees, in this area they have Spanish moss hanging from their stately limbs, they also have Resurrection fern growing on the large branches. Talk about magical…

This plant is such a joy I cannot even begin to express how much I absolutely adore it. We planted a few in pots last year – around this time, they bloomed all summer long! Literally you do nothing but make sure they don’t get too dry (especially in a pot). Give them a nice drink of water when they look thirsty and they’re good!

The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming the wisteria is giving off its heavenly scent. Life is good here in Charleston, SC. This really is the perfect time to be in Charleston. Soon the weather will heat up (exponentially) and the humidity will peak. So get out and enjoy it while you can…

Another great book by Kristin Hannah! I’m trying not to read all of her books at once, although it’s quite hard not to. I’ve got it down to every other book, but will have to move that to every third book. I just don’t want to be without one of her books! What an escape reading is!

What have you been doing? Oh, not much, just deleting overhead power lines from a beautiful image, sigh… In this area where I snapped this photo while driving by (as the passenger) it was riddled with power lines. So many of them. I don’t have technical wizardry to remove these things, I erase a little at a time until *poof* it’s gone!

I mean WHO in the world could possibly not love Ina? It’s a comfort to watch her cooking in her kitchen, whipping up the tastiest and most beautiful foods you can imagine. Most of us have tried at least one of her recipes (or many more!!). This book isn’t so much about the food, it’s about Ina herself.

Well, it’s that time of year again – time to switch the clocks ahead one hour (lose one hour of sleep) for Daylight Saving Time (DST) tonight. I’ve never been a big fan of switching back and forth. Studies show there are health implications – what are your thoughts?

Isn’t this the coolest outdoor chair? Last week we planted podocarpus at one end of our pool and it turned that end of the pool into a cozy retreat. Next stop… a table, but for now I am thrilled with this purchase! I’ve seen these chairs out and about for many years, here are the details…
