My Baby's First Riverdogs Game

I really do try to keep this blog about things that make me smile. How can this not???!

Reggae Nights in Charleston

Ok, this picture does not begin to show the fun (or the crowd) at the James Island County Park on Reggae Night. The music was so rhythmic, Baby Greyson  fell into a deep, deep sleep. Must be those Jamaican grooves....

Sometimes you just need a rainy day

I love this girl playing in the rain downtown Charleston. I also love that is is only 84 degrees.

My Art Collection

This print was given to us for as a wedding gift. You can probably purchase it for $20 at any shop here in Charleston. But it is, without a doubt, my favorite work of signed art we own (and not to mention my favorite wedding gift. A big thank you to Cecil Easterly. I love the note on the back and will treasure it forever). Grant and I were married during Spoleto of 2008. So this really celebrates that wonderful time. Plus it has all the bright colors I adore!

I picked this up from an antique/junk store in Bell Buckle, TN.  Yes, Bell Buckle. It is a one road town in middle Tennessee.  I could spend all day on that one little road. And if you are ever there, you must visit the Bell Buckle Cafe. Hmmm Hmmm Good!

This one really holds a special place in my heart. It's a screen print created by my dear friend, Anne. She is a graphic designer by trade. But everything she puts her hands on is pure magic. Check her amazing self at

My husband and I purchased this off a street vendor in Rome. He had only proposed to me the night before (Grant - not the street vendor!) and we celebrated at Trevi Fountain. It brings back so many wonderful memories of that trip. Ahhh...to be in love in Italy!!

Ok. So I don't really have an art collection. But, I do have some pretty thangs that hang on my wall. And they are truly works of art to me. I think I will soon post about art I wish I owned!

My New Love

My good friend, Anne, recently introduced me to Palmetto Cheese. I love you Anne.

I bought the Jalapeno spread. It is to die for. Check out all of the products. I'm sure they are all yummy!
