Haven Conference?

Ok, I need some information. Have any of you other bloggers been to the Haven Conference in Atlanta, or know anyone who has been? It's coming up in June 2012, and I'm trying to decide if I should attend. John and Sherry from Young House Love are the keynote speakers, and I'd love to hear their talk...any insight?  

Hope your Christmas was the Best!

I hope that you all had a beautiful Christmas, filled with family, friends, love and laughter. Kane and I were very grateful to host our family in our new home this year!

Merry Christmas Cards!

Thanks for all of the awesome Christmas cards everybody! They're one of my favorite parts of the holidays. I have a lot of friends and family that are easy on the eyes! 

McAlpine Booth & Ferrier Christmas Decorations

Are you all ready for Christmas? My house isn't fully decorated yet, but I did have the honor of installing Christmas decorations for a great Nashville McAlpine Booth & Ferrier client. You can check out the full album on MBF's facebook page. What do you think of the blue, silver and gold color scheme?

Glitter!

I am unbelievably excited about all of my new glitter. It was a total impulse buy because it was on sale, but I don't regret it at all! I think I have enough to last me for the rest of my life. Now, any suggestions of what I should do with it?

Success!

I am 99% finished addressing our Christmas cards. Thank goodness! Job well done. Those of you whose addresses I still need...you know who you are. :)

Parnassus Books

Image found here.
Nashville has a bookstore other than Barnes & Noble and I'm so excited about it! Author Ann Patchett has opened up an independant shop called Parnassus Books. I visited for the first time about a week ago and haven't been able to stay away!

If you're in the Nashville area be sure to stop in and support this new small business, since great locally owned bookstores are so hard to find!

Architectural Digest AD100

I have to brag today! McAlpine Tankersley (the sister architecture company of McAlpine Booth & Ferrier) is on Architectural Digest's Top 100 list! And McAlpine Booth & Ferrier got a shout out as well! Check it out online here, or in the newest issue of AD.

Stocking Stuffers in the Etsy Shop!

I've posted some great new vintage stamps in the A Girl in the World Etsy shop! Some of them are as inexpensive as $4.10 and would make great stocking stuffers for people who love beautiful paper goods. They can also be fantastic paired with a beautiful set of notecards or return address labels!

Now if only I could get my own holiday shopping started...
