Thumbnail image for Shopping Ikea

Just back from Atlanta, I took a quick trip by Ikea to see what was new. What was meant to be a quick jaunt in and out turned into an hour and 1/2.  There’s SO much to see in this fun store. I stopped by really to pick up a set of beautiful drapery panels [...]

Shopping at TJ Maxx

December 18, 2009

Where else can you walk in a store and find a deal on a pretty black raincoat, some yoga pants, a marked down summer top, and grab a set of 4 plates and saucers all in the same trip?? Oh yeah, and pick up a cotton King size cream quilt that may work on the [...]

Ballard Designs Outlet

December 5, 2009

If you live in Atlanta, you’ve probably been to the Ballard’s Outlet in Roswell or on DeFoors Ferry Rd.  I’ve been to both of them plenty of times, but since I now live in Birmingham, it’s not often that I get to browse this fun store.  So, I made time while I was over visiting [...]

Shopping in Marietta

October 21, 2009

Going home is always sweet and this time I went solo and got in some girl time with some of my dearest friends.  I always love driving up over this little rise near Six Flags and seeing downtown Atlanta all spread out in the distance.   Then, it disappears. My friend, Vicki, and I went to [...]

And I hope you’ll stop by to see what they have in stock, a wonderful array of patio and porch goods, umbrellas and cushions. I am only adding advertisers to my site when I think they have something useful and beneficial to [...]

The Plunderosa

April 5, 2009

With a name like Plunderosa, you just know this place is going to be spectacular. I spotted it on the way down in Foley, AL and told Maureen that I really wanted to stop by there on the way back home, so we did and it was not a disappointment. It’s a wonderful treasure trove [...]

Beach Houses and Shopping

April 4, 2009

When you’re traveling with girls, you can be sure there will be plenty of good food. Most of our hubbies will not eat like this, so it’s nice to eat girlie food on a trip to the beach. Tricia brought her oh-so-yummy Southern Living Cha-Cha chicken salad, which she made for us and if you [...]

Just Us Girls

There’s just nothing like a road trip to Gulf Shores with some girlfriends to recharge your batteries and just enjoy some good ole’ girl time. We all love our hubbies, but this trip was all about us. We got to do exactly as we pleased, stopped as much as we wanted while we were driving, [...]

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe

January 29, 2009

Of course, you all remember that movie, Fried Green Tomatoes?! Until I moved to Birmingham, I had no idea that the original Whistlestop Cafe was right here in this city and is now called the Irondale Cafe. My friend, Sandi, at Whistlestop Cafe Cooking filled me in on that when I met her in blogland [...]

I’ve been reading on several blogs lately about the Home Design event going on at Target, so I decided to check it out for myself and see what all the fuss was about. Me and my camera popped into our local Target and took lots of pics to share with you. If you’re in need [...]

Can you have too many shoes?

January 15, 2009

(In Style Home, Spring 2006, I believe this is Mariah Carey’s closet) Oh, according to my hubby, yes you can. But, at least I don’t have this many! Me and shoes go WAY back. My closet has always held its share of shoes, especially when I was younger. Now, I try to keep only the [...]

Popping into TJ Maxx

December 19, 2008

While helping Layla look for her mercury glass candlesticks this week, I popped into TJ Maxx to, you know…help a friend out and look for those things and then on my merry way I’d be. Well, you know how that goes. I always get distracted. First by all the pretty Christmas decor that was already [...]
