(leslie, laurie, jl and teressa)

T. came to Gowensville/Campobello this week for a little visit.
Love spending time with that girl...her creative energy is contagious!
You can see some wonderful photos from the trip on her blog.
Just wait until you see Laurie's house.
It's really nice in LaLaland!
Looking forward to some fun collaborations with these girls.
Have a terrific Thursday!

HAPPY birthDAY

Someone is turning twenty-one.
Now, she may have other (???) ideas on how to celebrate the day but her very smart and thoughtful mom decided that this was the way to mark the day.
Hope your day is happy!

Jay

Good morning!
This is our window sill at the kitchen sink.
Jay Owens pottery...makes me happy. LOVE his work!
The colors, shapes and drawings that he does on his pottery are wonderful!
He gave us a pair of the hot-dog cups after the Earlesdale Art Sale
because Andy was in charge of the refreshment stand. How nice was that?!
I'm sure to be showing you more from this fantastic fella because
I just can't get enough myself.
-enJOY your day!

Cola

We made it to Columbia for the Turner-Cezanne exhibit before it closed and I'm so glad that we did.
The show was magnifique!
And how about right outside the museum...super cool library and main street?!

Hope your Monday is magnifique!!

here's to...

DRU!
Our dear little niece graduated this week from high school.
She's off to Johnson and Wales in the fall.
She's going to be a pastry chef.
SWEET!
(just like her!)

forever...never

Could this handwriting be any more beautiful?! And what about those stamps?!
I found Jenna's website through the Lovely Morning blog.
I did a lot of practicing for the cursive J necklace but it's nowhere near as dreamy as Jenna's calligraphy.
I think she should write me a letter. (no, I don't know her)
I'm always hopeful that something good will be in our huge mailbox and I love it when people use fun stamps. I know the forever stamps are the smart choice but they will never be my choice.

farm tour

We went to the Barrioz Gardens and the Clemson University Student Organic Farm.

Clemson's CSA is definitely something to look into if you live anywhere near the campus! Their Campus Supported Agriculture is based on Community Supported Agriculture programs where a yearly fee gets you a box of produce each week. At Clemson, you receive whatever produce is in season that week PLUS herbs, zinnias, sunflowers AND free range eggs! They also have a farmer's market every Wednesday afternoon.

Maybe a Wednesday trip to the Botanical Garden AND the market???
