Fluffin’ and Plantin’

Daughter Katie and one of her college best friends, Phillipia just left after two days of visiting. Phillipia is a container gardener extraordinaire and has been wanting to come down and play in the coastal dirt vs the mountains of Asheville, NC dirt. She completely re did the window box and front yard gardens at Mermaid Manor and added some great containers at Dutton Waller Cottage. Enjoy her beautiful work!

Get your Piratey self to Tybee today!

Just as Sarah/ Tina created a new word on SNLmavericky” I created my own new word- “Piratey“. OMG, what fun is Pirate Fest! I’ll be honest, the first year it was crazy…. and not in a fun crazy way. The City didn’t expect the crowds, no one was prepared, but last year lots of changes were made and the event was very well organized and fun. This year it’s even better!
Whole families of pirates have invaded the island, dressed to the 9’s and just having fun! Walking home last night I saw a family of 6 with kids from 2 – 12 with their parents “Arrghhhing” their way home!
The Parade down Butler Ave begins @ 3PM today, rain or shine, the Thieves Market is open all day for shopping and fun, Live bands are playing non stop and everyone has forgotten – for at least two days- how scary the world is right now.
So get yourself down to Tybee today , wear an eye patch and even dance in the streets!
visit http://www.tybeepiratefest.com/ for more details . Mark your calendars for next year- it will be bigger and better then ever!

Magical Isle of Hope

I was lucky enough to go to a party at the Isle of Hope Marina last weekend. October is truly the best month to be in the Low Country. The humidity is gone, the sky is blue, the sun is warm, the clouds and stars are so clear in the sky- just a great time to enjoy being outside. The night of the party was just this way- we could wear clothes other then shorts and t-shirts and our hair didn’t go flat ( or frizzy) from the weather and our makeup didn’t sweat off. It’s these simple things that make us happy. Oh yes, no bugs to swat!

These are some pictures of both the marina and the homes along Bluff Drive. If this isn’t perfection, I’m not sure what is….. Enjoy!
