laurie's charming cottage

After the idea of sharing pictures of my friend Laurie's home came to me the other day, I knew I had to follow through.  Her lovely little beach cottage is only a few houses down from mine on the island and it is a constant inspiration.  She is truly one of those people with a natural talent for design.  Every inch of her home is just perfect.  She pays attention to every corner, every little detail.  It is one of those homes that is completely stunning and simultaneously welcoming, where you feel right at home.  She also happens to be an artist, so she has a totally inspirational little studio space upstairs.  I am sure you are going to love Laurie's home as much as I do!  So, here you go...

Thanks, Laurie for letting us share!

happy new year!

We headed back to the beach again for the New Year and had a lovely time. Relaxing and fun. Just what we needed. Lots of walks, coffee, wine, games and a few dance parties to round off the festivities. All in all a great way to ring in the new year...

Happy, happy new year to everyone!

DId anyone do anything especially fantastic? Do share...

good friends.

Do you have one of those friends who you casually invite to come over for pizza with the family and she offers to bring some sort of appetizer and then shows up with this...

My mouth literally fell open when Laurie walked in with this beautiful display. I mean, seriously? You just whipped that up? You hardly want to touch it, it looks so perfect.

Do beware, however, once we get over the beauty, the Burch family can destroy a cheese board...

And what about one of those friends who can just tell when you are having a bad day and suddenly shows up with a little homemade gift just for you...

Lucky me, I have just such friends. Their kindness and generosity, creativity and talent never cease to amaze me. I am on the road with these two amazing ladies right now on a little summer adventure through Georgia. One car, a GPS, three friends and the open road... should make for some good stories. I hope...

I have a few little posts set for next week and the following week we have some very exciting guest bloggers! I can't wait!

After that, I am sure I will have quite a bit to share from our road trip. Have a great weekend and I will be back in a couple of weeks!
