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.

I went to a fun crafting event last week at @lnc.a I went to a fun crafting event last week at @lnc.artistry with a few other ladies, wine, and snacks. We bedazzled a book! 

I took my favorite book ever, a signed copy of @elizabeth_gilbert_writer's, #EatPrayLove, as I thought it would look cool with some jewels. 

It's hard to see in any light I tried to take a photo in but it was fun. Here's some other books that got bedazzled as well.

This is my new @retro1951 @smithsonian Dinosaur Fo This is my new @retro1951 @smithsonian Dinosaur Fossil fountain pen with a medium nib. Isn’t it grand? I love how it looks like an antique already. Plus, it pairs perfectly with all my dino @lego at work and home. I put @ferriswheelpress Steeped Umber in it which is a medium brown and that makes it even better! Smooth writer. I have this same nib and pen in the Winnie-the-Pooh version so I knew I would love it. #Retro1951 #Smithsonian #Dinosaur #Lego #FountainPen #FerrisWheelPress #Ink
