Is white the absence of color? I heard someone ask this question the other day, and it really made me think. It was prompted by the delivery of our new book, Cottage Style: A Palette of White. When I was growing up, white was significant in so many ways. You could not wear white shoes before Easter of after Labor …
I had the pleasure of spending time with Susan Gravely of VIETRI at one of our Southern Lady Celebration’s weekends years ago. She is a delightful lady and captured the hearts of everyone there. I loved the story of how their business, VIETRI, was birthed and how it continues to grow. You will find stunning VIETRI pieces all throughout the …
With the Kentucky Derby here, a celebration with class, polish, and a little healthy competition is in order. No need to make this an adults-only affair, either. There’s plenty for young ones to get excited about, especially when Southern Lady‘s delectable Kentucky Derby Pie Bars are served. They let Churchill Downs and America’s greatest race inspire a special boy’s baby shower. …

When Neal and I made a visit to Biltmore (speaking of, don’t forget to enter the giveaway I have running!), we realized that throughout that magnificent house acorns and oak leaves were imbedded in the architectural details.

I have a new favorite flower just in time for Easter. It is called First Blush-Pink Narcissus Mixture. I ordered these delightful bulbs from White Flower Farm last fall. I am always looking for new flowers to add to my beds, and the joke at our house is “another box of bulbs?” So last fall, my little box of 25 …
I love it when I find a wonderful vase that makes flower arranging easy. When we were filming at Dorothy McDaniel’s Flower Market, my eyes were drawn to this little vase that looks like bulbs sitting on the table. Upon further inspection, I realized this little vase is designed to hold three single blossoms, and my daffodils now stand nicely …
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Instead of wearing green today, how about setting a green table? I don’t know about you all, but the weather is finally starting to warm up here, and spring is in the air. With spring comes the color green—many different shades of green. Whether it’s the green of new grass or the green of tulip stems, …
