Southern Charm

Georgia has with it a variety of stereotypes.  Some not so flattering.  Yet some include elaborate garden parties with bluegrass music, apple bourbon cocktails and a garden tour (where a large portion of your dinner was grown.)  **Sigh**  Milton's Cuisine & Cocktails pulled out all the stops and cast a spell on it's guests where we all felt like old friends.  There was no time for pomp & circumstance even when the rain started.  No one was willing to let the good times end so all 80+ of us promptly plopped our napkins on our head and continued to party.  The evening's local photographer, Blencoe & Co. captured the moment and I cannot wait to see it.  That was a sure sign the evening could not have been more magical.

Walking back to the garden

Rustic cutting boards ready for servers to wow us with garden delights

Enchanting

My eyes will always light up at a table full of mismatched china place settings. 

The recipe for the perfect fall cocktail we enjoyed

Family style

When the torches came out...they brought it to a whole other level.

Me and my honey.  Thanks Hello Lovely Atl for the perf garden dinner attire

And how about a house update?  With a 9 week old and almost 2 year old, house planning gets a back burner.  But I have finally picked a rug.  That was really harder than I anticipated.  Big commitment to select a 10' x 14' slab of color to grace your room.  Laura Ramsey Interiors helped guide me to Dash & Albert's Cut Stripe Rug in Ivory.  Now we can start adding color!  Green?  Pink?  Both?!

Just a little bit more like home.

Working on ottomans.  One or two was the question.  Think we are going one shared.

And trying this coffee table on for size.  How fun that it has collapsible sides?! 

And how about those babies of ours...

That was a good day

His masterpiece

Not fooling anyone with that cheshire cat grin

Hit our very first Crabapple Festival

Spotting a lot more brother acknowledgement

But ultimately still the biggest boss in town.

Finally made time to hit the greens at our new club

Palmer proved he's still got it

And he still loves a tractor

His very first pumpkin patch

And then this little monkey.  Tripp Martin is obviously too good of a baby as he doesn't
make enough racket to get his picture snapped.  Or Palmer just makes too much noise.
That's more like it.

**Disclaimer: TMD was present in all those Palmer pictures.  Usually just on my person or in his carriage**
