My friend, Heather Chadduck Hillegas, was featured in this month's issue of House Beautiful!
She is an interior designer and textile designer, and her work is amazing. If you haven't already, pick up the October 2018 issue (before it's too late!) or check out the article online.
Flying in an airplane is certainly more commonplace than it used to be, but the concept still amazes me every time I fly. As a result, I always look out the window (my preferred seat is next to a window). On this particular flight, the sky was especially gorgeous, with big, pronounced clouds, and sunny spots alongside darker ones. I could not stop taking pictures--this one is one of my favorites.
Our 2019 calendars are in, and we are so excited with how they turned out! This year's theme is Flowers of the South Pacific, and with so many beautiful flowers in that part of the world, it was hard to narrow it down. (Maybe a future year will be part 2...) We hope you'll love it!
There are definitely some bizarre creations of nature out there, and in my opinion this is one of them. Having never seen this before, of course I had to stop and take a picture when I happened upon it in the market the other day. "Buddha's hand" fruit. There was only the one. What on earth does one do with one of these? I must investigate...
Join us this coming weekend at the annual Saxapahaw Holiday Market! (The image above is from the Saxapahaw Facebook page.) Once again we'll be offering Market-only pricing specials on calendars and stationery note cards.
The Market hours are slightly different this year:
- Saturday, December 9 | 9:00am - 6:00pm
- Sunday, December 10 | 10:00am - 5:00pm
The market features lots of local artists, and the General Store and The Eddy Pub serve delicious food. Hope to see you there!
While at the Raleigh Farmers Market the other day, I spied this row of very colorful peppers. Peppers always make for good photos, and these did not disappoint! The rich, warm Fall colors are right on cue as well.
Check out this clever flower vase! This beautiful dinner
plate dahlia grew in my friend's flower garden, and when she saw it had
some missing petals she said, "I have just the vase!" Boy, was she
right! It's as though the flower grew knowing it would be plucked for
this adorable little vessel. I have lovingly named this pairing
"Matilda"—don't know why, she just looks like one to me.
