Out in the lowcountry...

On the way out to Edisto, SC, for Memorial Weekend, I stopped here at King's Market.
Produce Stands bring an instant smile to my face, I just love the atmosphere; the fields of flowers, fruit, veggies, stray Cats napping, Chickens and Roosters, adorable big Dogs in truck beds, the people are always friendly, the store is just laid back..
I could spend all day at a Produce Stand!
















What about you, do you like Produce Stands?

I'll be eating tasty food in ...


Charleston, South Carolina, at the Bluerose Cafe'.
It's a little Irish Cafe'.
I've said this once, but I'm going to say it again, if you are ever in Charleston, you have to try this place out! It's called Bluerose Cafe', they serve homemade specials every night on the chalkboard. Their menu alone, is just amazing! I always have a craving for their Flounder, whether it's pan-seared, grilled, or baked, it is divine! My mum loves to order the Veggie Burger, with Homemade Fries that will knock your socks off!
This place has the best service, out of any restaurant I have ever been to!
Every time I took a few sips of water, the waiter would be coming around the corner filling up my glass, he asked how we were doing three times, he brought are food out in a matter of minutes, I mean this guy was awesome!
I think it's funny how, when we used to pass this place up, it would be so packed, you couldn't even getting a parking spot. But when my mum and I go, we seem to be the only people eating, there might be two-three other tables, but in the end we are the only ones! It's not weird at all, as a matter of fact, I love it! You can actually hear yourself think, or hear the other person talking.
It's such a great place to go with friends, or on a date, hey or even with your mum! If you don't like sitting inside, they have a nice front porch with huge umbrellas, and pretty flowers surrounding the tables. It's such a great place to go, it's a little treasure in Charleston!





I have always wanted to try their desert, but I always end up with a full tummy!
 One of these days, I will just go in their to order a tasty treat! If their dinners are amazing, then I'm sure the desserts are, too!

Girls gone wild..




You know where I wish I was right now?
The beach, that's where!
Getting my tan on while in my new hot bikini, possibly sipping on some Blood Orange Sparkling Water, while catching up on the latest magazines!

Somewhere Sunday


I really dislike spending my Sunday's inside, so I decided to spend my Sunday out at The Sands in Port Royal with my fun brother, and our pup, Max. It was rather cold when we left the house, but at soon as we got to The Sands, the wind stopped blowing, it was perfect! It was nice walking on the beach, looking for Sharks teeth, and other shells. It was low tide, which meant we could look underneath all the oysters for teeth. My brother wanted to have a competition on who found the most teeth, I let him win. Even though I did find the biggest! There were other dogs out on the beach, running around, jumping in the ice cold water.
 It was so very peaceful, watching the dogs run around, people feed the Seagulls, boats drive by, people searching for shells..
  We took a walk on the boardwalk, up the pier, and watched the sunset. The river was calm, not a ripple in sight. We watched all the Seagulls, Pelicans, and Herons disappear into the night sky. Instead of going back on the boardwalk, we decided to through the marsh trail. You could hear all the little crabs scatter across the ground, hiding in their little holes beneath the marsh grass. The night sky was so beautiful. I'm so glad I got to spend it with my brother, he is growing up too fast, and I want to spend as much time with him as I can, and same goes for Max, you can never spend too much time with your pup!



I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
I sure did!

It's one of those days..

Here in good ol' South Carolina,
the weather is nice; I mean like upper 60's nice.  
(Are you jealous, you should be).
And you know what I'm in the mood to go do?
Fish.
I wanna put on my blues, along with my chunky wool socks, slip on some Duck Boots, grab my Plaid, and let's not forget the rod, and head out to the river to enjoy this beautiful day.
*But no,
 instead I'm being forced to go the Dentist, which I dread. (Are you still jealous, you should not be).
I hope everyone is having a lovely and (Dentist Free) Tuesday!

A Southern Style Christmas


The one thing I love about living in the south, is that I can decorate with coastal stuff like; shells, palms, pine needles, blues and greens!
 I loooove the combination of it all!
It makes me feel like I'm spending Christmas at a Beach Cottage.
Of course my decorating doesn't come close to these beautiful pictures below, but one day, I will decorate like that, and I will be living closer to the beach! (But I will also have a cute little cabin tucked away in the woods). Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Where would you love to spend Christmas?
A cute cabin in the mountains?
 A cottage at the beach?
A luxury apartment over looking the city?
Maybe even in a camper at Yosemite?








These beautiful pictures came from here.
