a piece of the south.

there is nothing that screams

southern grace louder than

 beautiful ol' wood plantations. 

if those walls could talk, 

oh, the stories they would share.

those plantations are rich with love.

and warmth. and family. and history.

the rooms are saturated with memories.

the foundation is sturdy.

the walls are solid. 

what a gift it is to us that we can share 

a little piece of this rich history.

each one of us. 

the texture that once graced the walls

of these plantations can grace the walls of your homes today.

allow me to introduce to you

a company that knows a thing or two about ol' soul.

laville frames, inc.

a family craft that creates stunningly beautiful frames 

from the ruins of louisiana plantations. 

the texture is so present,

you can feel the years of love that was so alive within those walls.

the paint is perfectly and effortlessly messy.

and the colors are divine.

i simply adore these frames. 

this pretty little one is my fave.

the watery blue is so serene.

and the gold adds a richness that words cannot express.

i love the artistic flair that makes each frame unique.

this. is. glamorous.

love the frenchie touch.

really love the black and gold. 

these frames make for great gifts.

the price point is fantastic. 

but the story is even better.

there it is folks, 

your little piece of the south.

reclaimed. recycled. restored.

come by the shop to see our entire collection of laville frames.

all colors and styles. all lovely. all ready to adorn your home. 

you've got mail.

there is such great sentiment

that comes from receiving a letter in the mail. 

the snail mail. not e-mail. 

handwritten letters are a long lost art that i very much treasure.

i cannot express to you the joy that warms my heart

when i open my mailbox and find a letter.

a real letter. addressed to me.

especially for me.

i've got mail.

signed. sealed. delivered. 

i hardly make it back in the house before

the envelope is torn apart.

it is such a simple act of thoughtfulness.

but it just send me over the moon. 

with christmas just around the corner,

now is the most essential time to stock up on your fave papers.

this is the time to remind someone 

how much you love them.

how much you appreciate them.

this is the time to send them warm wishes for

happy holidays and a happy new year.

and equally important,

send a letter thanking them for all the lovely gifts

they so graciously will leave under your tree.

kate spade stationery always sends 

my heart into a fluttery frenzy.

the colors. the wit. the pizazz. 

it is just so perfectly fun.

i am loving this festive little card. 

this could be used as a well wishing note,

or even better...

a cookie exchange party invite.

these are just the most darling thank you notes.

kate spade sure does know how to turn on the charm.

it's perfect. you've done it again.

how did you know?

you shouldn't have. but i am glad you did.

those words say it all. 

and of course,

you can never go wrong when you go with these classy cards.

a pop of kelly green, the perfect holiday hue.

the black and white stripes.

the gold, bold initial.

beautiful.

these are just a few of my faves. 

the options are endless. 

pop in to the store and see what sends you.

yun & sarah will get it all ordered for you in no time. 

you won't even have to think twice.
