the start of springtime.

we gals at beach papery just love the beginning of springtime.

the birds are chirping. the air is fresh. greens are popping up all over town.

this is a season of refreshment & reenergized life.

one of our fave ways to bring the start of springtime into our homes 

is by incorporating little accents of greenery, nests, and sweet little birdies.

i just adore this little springtime scene.

the greenery. the birds. the nests. the robins eggs. 

this just screams springtime sweetness.

this nest comes tucked in the potted ivy plant. 

so stinkin cute.

another little nest accents the base of the pot.

aren't these long-legged birdies just the sweetest things you have ever seen?

these are springtime accents that would work in any styled home. 

the subtleness would allow you to add your own personality to displaying them.

this has to be the simplest & sweetest way to decorate for the start of springtime.

now these little babies are the bees knees.

little potted plants that can serve as placecard holders or photo holders.

well, really they can hold anything you fancy.

i chose to leave a little love note to my sweetie, but they would truly work for anything.

just slip a photo, a recipe, a placecard in the little clip & you have just created the

perfect, most adorable springtime accent around town. 

i may plan a springtime dinner party just to use them as placecard holders. 

or better yet, use them to label foods on a buffet style table. 

absolutely precious. 

come on in to the shop & pick out your fave springtime decor accents. 

we have tons to choose from. each one cuter than the next.

{all plants are artificial. they will last a lifetime}

chalkboard love

i love finding little ways to show love & spread joy.

i live for the little i love yous that can make each and every day a little bit sweeter.

and especially with valentine's day right around the corner.

one of my fave ways to spread some sugar is on the Round Top chalkboard jar.

this darling little jar is the perfect way to share your thoughts,

and some sweet surprises, while you are at it.

i am especially loving the black and white checkered lid.

it is the perfect mix of southern charm & modern glamour.

and i love the chalkboard display board. 

allows us to change our message by the day... or the hour. 

this little pretty pictured here is filled to the brim with little love notes for my hubby.

he gets to read one everyday until valentines day.

and this is just one little way i have had fun with my chalkboard jar.

they are the perfect seasonal decorative piece. 

i can just see it filled with red hot candies for christmas and pink jellybeans for easter.

although, i feel quite certain this will be a permanent fixture in our little home.

we don't need a holiday to celebrate. we endorse any reason to celebrate.

malt ball monday. tootsie roll tuesday. white chocolate chip wednesday.

a little something sweet to brighten anyday!

swing by the shop to pick up your Round Top chalkboard jar.

it is a great gift for any occasion. and no card needed. 

the chalkboard says it all.

xoxo.

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.
