southern fried gal

BBC and I traveled to NW Arkansas on Monday for a party. BBC got to hang out in the country with Nanny and Pa (we are from the South, you know) while I worked the party. There were 23 gals there and it was a hoot of a party! The hostess got several of our gorgeous pottery pieces for FREE and half price! It is so fun to bless others with FREE products!

We got to spend the night with Granny which is always a hoot, too. I was hoping to post beautiful fall foliage from the Boston Mountains but the colors have just barely started and won’t peak for a couple more weeks. Hopefully we can make it back that way in time – it is always gorgeous!

OK – back to the topic at hand. We stopped off on the way back home yesterday at a friend’s home. Carey has a gorgeous older rock home and as soon as we pulled up I knew had to snap a few photos. She has a great sense of style and her home truly looks like the pages from Southern Living magazine! Don’t you just love that rock work and brick accents? And she has it all dolled up for fall!

I love this pumpkin patch sign in the front yard. Her daughter got this for her
at a craft fair a year or so ago. I may have to borrow the idea for gifts soon!

I wish I could have snapped more photos. Every room was gorgeous. I
controlled myself and just snapped a couple. Simple mantle – love it.

And she has her home ready for a Southern Living at HOME open house. I love the way
she has styled the products. I’m excited about the Iron Filigree Candle Stand (it’s the long
piece with fall garland and candles). I just got that a few days ago – for FREE – yippee!
