i have just come across this wonderful illustrator, rebekka seale. i think her use of color is perfect and i just love the sweetness in her subject matter and painting style. smitten.... i was peeking around her website and looking at her work and i stumbled across a house painting of flannery o'connors house in milledgeville, ga. i needed to share!
every year, our friend lamar has a bonfire. he burns all of the accumulated brush from the past year and invites friends and family over to enjoy it. i love to see the house glow at night against the dark sky. it was a fun evening!
on a recent drive, this old fertilizer company caught my eye. the exterior walls were stained from the red clay, patched with wood scraps, signage that was faded, and the rusted tin. the interior was blank and the light peeked in through the many holes. picturesque….
i just walked through the botanical gardens the other day and saw that all of the irises were up and ready to show their faces! i’m not sure what kind of spring we will have this year.
i have said this time and time again, we are so lucky to have an all year growing season. it always makes me happy to see winter gardens. the plants look tough and strong which helps then get through the cold nights.
yesterday we visited a lovely garden of a couple who moved a big farmhouse to their lot 19 years ago. they have created this amazing space and eat from their garden all year long. i left their country home….feeling inspired.
they also had a room of vines that was magical.
the other day my dad found an ad for an estate sale in comer, ga. we headed there first thing in the morning. people now put the label estate sale on everything. this particular estates sale was a little junk store that was going out of business. we found some good things like old bottles, tins and i scored a vintage stroller for my shop! there is always something to be found.
our friend nancy sold her big ol’ house to our friends kat and susan. the wonderful spirit of the big ol’ house lives on in their wonderful, colorful arrangements and accents around the home. here’s a look - stay tuned for more on the big ol’ house!
if you have ever driven south, i am sure that you have stumbled upon not just one but hundreds of waffle houses along the way. eating at them is always an experience….and i mean that in a good way. they still crack every egg by hand, make every hash brown to order, the coffee cups are stacked in perfect order, and i am always amazed at their shouting system of relaying orders. their old time system works and those pecan waffles keep me coming back!
