And she's landed!

Wow! This girl has been busy! I've been in 6 states over the past week - Georgia, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. Now, I have landed for 24 hours and am sitting at my kitchen table surrounded by papers, lists, notes, and piles. 

Despite the traveling lately, I'm having the best time and promise to be back to blogging soon. 

Here's a bit of what I've been up to:

From Thursday to Monday, my husband and I were at the beach for the Memorial Day weekend with my family. 

After arriving back in Gainesville on Monday, I got geared up for a road trip with my BFF James. He called a few weeks ago about an amazing project for us in Richmond, VA; so, bright and early on Tuesday morning, James and I, along with another design assistant Becky, hit 85N!

                        Along with our fun gab-fest, we made a few tasty pit stops too. One of our favorites - Zoe's- for lunch.

The road trip also included a plate full at Mac's in Charlotte....

... awesome mac n' cheese and pulled pork for dinner. 

But only after finding plenty of treasures to take home from The Sleepy Poet. 

And truly, we could have left with enough pretties to fill a house at Alexander Scott. 

Later, on Tuesday night, the three of us checked into the historic Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, VA for some shut eye before our meeting with the new client on Thursday morning. 

Here are a few snaps of the Jefferson...if you're ever in Richmond, you must stop by!

Two happy girls woke up to a delish breakfast before the day began!

Here's the view of Richmond from our room. 

The meeting was exceptional, and along the way we completed our design/food tour with a belly full at Sake Express. Yes, it was a splurge but my rice and shrimp were worth it! 

This weekend I am heading home to help with a wedding...it's going to be fun, casual, and creative - like the darling bride herself. Check out my Pin board here. I promise to post pics when I get back!

A few things to share

This is a random post, but I did want to share a fun little product developed from my drawing of the Sigma Kappa house at UGA and the lovelies that are in my house right now.
First up, this fun stamp!
An approaching UGA graduate's mom contacted me in regards to a sorority house drawing of mine. She was personalizing her daughter's graduation announcements and wished to use my image on the stamp. Of course I allowed it, and was so excited to see the stamp!

I was so tickled to see the finished product. And that they were sweet enough to make sure I saw it! 

And a generous Starbucks card to say "thank you" to me.....score! 

Secondly, I came home from a wedding weekend to a house full of beautiful plants! After emptying our room at the Atlanta Symphony Decorator's Showhouse, I have the treat of enjoying the plants that had been gracing the room! I wanted to share their gorgeousness one more time....

 After the winter months when nothing's blooming in our yard, the azaleas came out to play just in time for Easter. Now, our gorgeous hydrangea bushes are laden for Memorial Day!

These guys came from my yard - my hydrangea bushes are brimming with blooms! They make me so happy! 

I have the rich periwinkle blue hued hydrangeas, and these wispy white ones too....love! 

And somehow I've been able to keep this little guy around for a few months. The orchid he was paired with didn't make it through the winter months, but he's sticking around. I wish I could tell you I've been singing to it and polishing its fronds, but I haven't. 

 However, if you just don't have a green thumb, a great moss ball will do the trick too! I love the organic feel they give to a room, and the shot of green as well. The best part is, you never even have to water them!
