My list of favorites things are those which remind me of WHO I AM without compromise. An individual who is more than a wife, mother, daughter, and therapist. I am also a lover of things that are appealing and beautiful to the senses. So here's my list:
The color white. So clean and pure. In my wardrobe or home decor, I love the color white. To me, it's like a Rolls Royce; a classic that never goes out of style.
Linen. The touch. The feel of linen. The fabric of my life. Ooops! I think that's the motto for cotton. Well, most days that's all I can afford is good quality, 100% cotton. However, I really am In Love with Linen. It's WELL worth the splurge on special occasions, like vacation or decorating special places, like the master bedroom.
Hydrangeas. I can't get enough of them. They are truly the all-star of my garden. I have three "little lamb" hydrangeas in memory of our lamb in heaven and three limelight hydranges...they're all white, of course. At the end of the season, I use the dried flowers as an alternative to "silk" flowers.
Bubble baths.
Relaxing music performed by a single instrument like a piano or acoustic guitar. Usually found at Walmart and Target for $15, I've found comparable CD's at Dollar Tree, which makes it all the more calming.
Charleston, S.C. A synthesis of all the essentials;
- HISTORY {The most beautiful homes and gardens}
- SHOPPING {Lots of places to antique and junk, plus my favorite source of inspiration in the Lowcountry, GDC Home}
- FOOD {Good ole southern cooking and the country's best Coconut cake)
- THE BEACH.

Hi, Lisa, thanks so much for the note & for stopping by to tell me about your blog! I'm so glad you got inspired to start your own blog. I think you are off to a great start. You've already drawn me in with your stories & your cute little cottage home. It's adorable & I can see that you & hubby have already worked wonders on it! Can't wait to see more. So sorry you lost your first baby, I can't even imagine the heartbreak of that, but glad you have 2 cutie pie sons now.
ReplyDeleteI really look forward to getting to know you, Please stop by and see me often. The only problem I have is keeping up with all of you wonderful girls out there in blogland. It's just about impossible, but I try to get around to visit as much as I can.
PS You might want to take off your letter verification! That was one of the things in my Blogger Tips & a lot of bloggers don't even realize it is turned on.
ReplyDeleteYour readers will thank you! :)
