Charleston & Middleton Place

Charleston & Middleton Place

My husband and I recently went on a quick 48-hour trip to Charleston (Summerville), SC for a family funeral. While we were there we had a little bit of time to sight see. It had been 15 years since our last trip to Charleston which I've decided is WAY TOO LONG. I love this town with every fiber … [Read more...]

Swimwear Police

We are heading into summer now so swimsuit season is upon us. We have the luxury of being able to wear anything we want to (even if we sometimes shouldn't) on the beach and at the pool. It wasn't always this way and I know you have seen photos of old "swimming costumes." The photo above is from … [Read more...]

1920s Petting Parties!!

The NPR History Department recently posted an article about petting parties of the 1920s. Have you ever heard of such a thing? These two couples look like a lot of fun! This generation was poised to break free from their parent's generation and let loose the uptight morals and experiment. I don't … [Read more...]

For the 1st time, I finally purchased the Advent c For the 1st time, I finally purchased the Advent calendar in December from @lettersandlattesllc.

I opened each day up to a cool pen surprise. However, I'm just now getting to actually play with them and do the swatch card she includes, and watching each video for the style of lettering with that pen on the card. 

This was such a cool way to try out new pens. There was only 1 out of 24 that I had tried before so that meant 22 new pens and 1 new pencil for me! And that is saying a lot becuase I have hundreds of pens and pencils in my collection! Great packaging as well. I didn't spoil the surprise and open them all as soon as I got them but waitied for each day. Can't wait for the 2026 version.

Hey y'all! I'm Karen, a Gulf Coast of Florida based purveyor of Southern sass. I'm an Indiana Jones & Anthony Bourdain wannabe. I'm introverted and usually found with my nose in a book and pen/pencil in hand. I'm addicted to yoga, lip gloss, dumplings, and have an intense love for Scotland and Paris. It's been said I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n roll. Read More…
