It was a good day to wake up to an article with an interview from yours truly! StyleBlueprint is a southern online publication that connects women to their community. Currently they have editions in Nashville, Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis and Louisville. It features women who do great things in and for their communities (Faces of the South) plus lifestyle, fashion, food, and local event articles… basically tidbits that we need or want to know about in order to stay current! PLUS they have great finds with local vendors! Thanks to the ladies of SB for the opportunity to be a part of the team for the day. And a special thanks to Claire Gibson for the interview. Her kind heart and amazing writing skills made my words sound SO much better!

Check out the article on The Art of Letter Writing!  I hope it inspires you to not only buy some cute stationery (wink) but also to spend a moment writing to those around you. Whether it is a note to your mama (Mother’s Day is on the 11th!) or someone who is having a hard time or maybe just a friend who is extra thoughtful. It only takes a minute or two to encourage someone’s whole day, week or year!

Here are some my fav features from SB:

The new sweet spot, Sugar Dive, opened by our family friends, Tim and Carissa Pereira. You will NOT want to pass by this super fun ice cream parlor + candy shop this summer! Located in the heart of Green Hills; it has LOTS of heart behind the counter and will fill your belly with lots of sweets!

I made these cronuts for my papa’s birthday at Christmas and they are FAN-TAS-TIC  – I mean, seriously melt in your mouth! Not exactly  the healthiest choice, but totally worth the calories on special occasions. Thanks for this recipe, Liza….I think.

And, I love when they feature Wedding Wednesdays on beautiful southern weddings! This lovely soiree was done by the talented Libby Page.
