Southern Hospitality

Southern Accents

I dream of visting the South. Sittin on one of those big plantation porches, sweet tea in one hand, and a big juicy Georgia peach in the other.
Which brings me to todays blog………….Southern Hospitality.

Her banner does it for me. I don’t even have to look any further to be inspired, but I did and look what I found. She is a yard sale queen, I love her already. She can see past the dust, maybe just paint it a different color. She creates new pieces for her home from bargains! What I really really love is how she will tell you what it cost her. I have a girlfriend that we can’t help but blurt out the price for every bargain we find. When I first met my husband, he was confused by this behavior and wondered if I was being tacky. He’s used to it now, especially when I blurt out the price of his presents at Christmas and birthdays……I’m just so proud and excited………and I think Rhoda gets it. She’s proud to find a treasure! I sure wish she lived around here and we could go bargain shopping together. I really want that pear. And I love that bird tray. Maybe it’s best we live in different states, because it probably wouldn’t be too lady like to wrestle her to the ground over a pear.

She found this box for $1 and re-did it.
Her talents don’t stop with decorating her house, apparently she is quite the gardener too.

She has WAY more patience than me. Can you see the detail in this armoire? See those stripes? They are from old bedding! So cool! And that peach I am holding?………………I guess it’s from Alabama.
