I adore this photo and gorgeous styling by Amy Azzarito. It is so clean and bright.

strawberry basil lemonade

A festive celebration deserves an equally festive cocktail. I found this yummy lemonade recipe, perfect for a July 4th party, over at Martie Knows Parties. The starfruit stirrers are a charming touch for any summer cocktail, don't you think?

camellia love

Beautiful camellias are one of my favorite sights around the city of Raleigh this time of year. After a recent sale at my favorite nursery, I am very excited that my winter garden has been injected with a much needed burst of color. The blooms also look beautiful floating in bowls or grouped in white pitchers on my windowsill.

cozy comforts

As temperatures drop each January, I am happy to spend my evenings curled up in my cozy living room and enveloped in warmth from a hot cup of herbal tea and a favorite blanket. Hibernate in style with some of these favorites.

objects d'art

I am smitten with these frames from the which can transform your favorite everyday items into works of art. Each one has a vase, shelf, or hook to highlight the objects within. Wouldn't they be darling in a bedroom, entry, or over a small writing desk?
