a bit of earth

its kinda a secret that I was born in San Francisco

~I'm not ashamed by any means~

but it kinda knocks my southern status just a bit*

your not even really considered a local unless your born in the city I live in now

South Carolinians take their native status very seriously

the last time I visited California

I was a little girl

and my parents took me to the City Lights Bookstore

I picked out The Secret Garden

which I promptly devoured on the plane ride home

Check out this bite sized

Secret Garden

a little pick me up

A house without books is like a room without windows. ~Heinrich Mann

I love Charleston in the fall

humidity disappears

 weather is near perfect

 night air is crisp

 days are sunny and warm

and...

The Charleston County Library has a yearly book sale

~that totally rocks my socks off~

Tens of thousands of books

starting as just $1.00

(via)

I seriously plan my week around this book sale

I think the smell of old books

lures me in

Boyfriend and I are planning a trip

he is a groomsman for his bestie's wedding

I've never been to Vegas

I'm pretty excited

~if only we could decide on how to get there~

a Bed for Lulu

Lulu loves a good nap

But she is a terror in bed- 

under the covers

stretched out between our legs

Sometimes even with her little head on my pillow

*cute as that is*

Its not overly comfortable

so...

 we have been looking for a pet bed

~I think she would look especially cute on this~

I think my little shark bait might really like this

*available here*

Matt *hearts* Kristen

it has been quite a year for weddings among my friends

*and family*

Matt and Kristen have always been the cutest couple

and their wedding was so very them

They are creative and so very, very fun!

*i love these*

the photobooth was amazing!

Congratulations to Kristen and Matt

I love you guys!

Dear Savannah.

(polaroid fun) 

Oh Georgia how I love to visit you!

you are just close enough to drive up for the day

~and what a lovely drive it is too~

Thank you Savannah for being such a lovely city

the people were so nice

offering to take our picture in the square

We discovered the amazing little Cafe Ambrosia 

where we had a tasty lunch

*I highly recommend the Baguette Blanch*

with an Orangina

I love a good road trip

the company is key

Jordan and Shanelle are characters

(their best mannequin impression)

Shanelle just moved to South Carolina

*we have taken it upon ourselves to show her around*

We might already be planning our next adventure
