Charleston & Middleton Place

July 6, 2018 by Karen Filed Under: History, Restaurant / Food Reviews, Travel 2 Comments

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!

I 💗 sending and receiving happy mail! One of I 💗 sending and receiving happy mail! 

One of my very favorite artists, @emily_jeffords, has started a monthly fine art collectors club by mail. June is my first month and it is focused on finding inner peace and the value of a life full of pleasure. 

For $12 a month, it includes beautiful artwork titled “When She Smiles”, a letter full of thoughts, a touch of perfume of the month to inspire your senses, affirmation or poetry of the month, and a curated music playlist. One day, I have a dream to actually own an original piece but for now these small prints will do. 

I framed this month’s artwork and took it to work to join the other framed pieces I have in my cubicle. Why have an ugly cubicle?

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…
