scull shoals

homes and habitats

May 12th, 2010

the other day, we packed a little picnic and set out on an adventure.  we have been wanting to check out this ghost town nearby called scull shoals.  not really knowing too much about the place, we didn’t know what to expect.

this riverside town was once a town of about 600 people and was washed away in a flood in the the late 1800′s.  in it’s thriving days it was a big textile industry and agriculture community.

what’s left is the decaying walls, bridges, and evidence of a place that was once called home.

simply spring

garden to table

May 10th, 2010

now that the spring veggies are ready to harvest and the farmers market has started i can’t stop eating fresh salads.  this weekend i made a big jar of dressing to have on hand.

1 part olive oil, 1 part champagne vinegar, a few cloves of garlic, salt and pepper, and some fresh herbs.  stick it in the fridge for a quick spring meal.

our third books are back from the printer…and are sooooo lovely!

the books are simple and are our reflections of our winter in the south.  i know we have moved on to spring…and summer.  but trust me, they are so beautiful that you can enjoy them all year long.

order the winter books here.  and if you haven’t seen our earlier ones, you can find them here too-  start collecting!
