Paris and Avignon and I'lsle-sur-la-Sorgue, Oh My!

Cindy and Patrick just returned from a fantastic trip to France. It sounds as though they had a great time visiting all the sights and eating food that makes you start salivating just hearing about it! Patrick has caught the travel bug, I am afraid, and is already planning trip nombre deux! We are anxiously awaiting the container to arrive and will be in touch as soon as we know the date. Cindy and Patrick seem to be very happy with what they have found and I am sure some of you can find a home for it! Check back in for more details to come- au revoir!

Let's Collaborate!

I had always heard of "Jay" from all of our Charlotte girls, and what a fabulous job he does designing flower arrangements for Circa's many events. But more recently, I realized another collaboration of his, where he teamed up with two close friends of mine! Abby Waller, the managing editor of the gorgeous Flower Magazine enlightened me on a recent article of theirs, where Jay shares his secrets to classic floral designs. And to top it off, the shoot took place at the home of Ashley & Jonathan Shaw, mutual college friends of mine and Abby's! And to come full circle, in one of the photos, we can even see a lantern that Ashley purchased at Circa in Charlotte!

Take a look for yourself to see a job well done (on all ends!!)

Abby Waller at Flower Magazine for her editing...

Ashley Shaw for her inspiring interiors...

Jay Lugibihl of in bloom ltd. for his breathtaking arrangements...

Taylor Mathis for his artistic photography...

and of course, Circa, for one of a kind finds like Ashley's dining room lantern!
