Our First Christmas

Our first christmas was filled with much joy and happiness. Carol came down from Richmond and my parents came up from Mobile. Here are some photos of my home during the holidays...enjoy!!!

We found this great looking old whiskey barrell at Lowe's(of all places). It was perfect for containing my tree in such a small space and I loved the old world feel.

This is how we dined leading up to Christmas and then on Christmas Day - I used my Herend - Rothschild Bird for the first time!

Taylor's Wedding at the National Hotel in South Beach

YOU would think this was a model photo shoot, but no this is my friend Taylor from college. She was just absolutely stunning and perfectly, naturally beautiful! It guess it also helped that the scenery was beautiful as well down in South Beach...although it was chillier than usual. And her band was awesome - they were from Charlotte, NC.

Yes, Santa did bring our new sofa

A Wedding Happy

I love giving gifts and this one I must admit has a great presentation. One of my good friends is getting married one month from today and I thought a little 'happy' was in order for the day. I had previously given her a Juliska Amalia champagne flute for her engagement so what else to give her than another to share with her fiance along with a bottle of champagne. I also just happened upon an antique hand towel that graced her soon-to-be last initial - if I had been looking for it; I wouldn't have found it, but it was perfect for this occasion. Happy Wedding Sid!!!

Parker's Love for a Sofa & Designer Pillows

Parker loves sitting and sleeping on the sofa and snuggling with all the pillows. He particularly loves these with fabric by Cowtan & Tout.

We are getting a new sofa for Christmas....yeah!!! Now only to get Parker off of it when it arrives. He does love it and usually isn't destructive, but sometimes muddy.

Perfect Weather for Outdoor Entertaining

Precious Cargo

Now that I have my new 'used' carseat...i'm finding new uses - especially since my nephew hasn't used it yet. Last week I keep flowers from spilling by strapping them in!!!
