Oscar Wilde Quote Tee Read what you love! Oscar Wilde – poet, playwright, and purveyor of pleasure – wrote, “If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use reading at all.” Our Oscar Wilde Quote Tee is an ode to reading you can wear any day of the week. Made from 100% cotton with white ink on a gorgeous cool blue, this comfy boyfriend tee will be in your closet’s regular rotation. Come back to it again and again, like all the best stories. We really like the literary printed products from Storiarts and wrote about them in an earlier post. They donate a portion of each sale to a program that promotes love of reading with world youth. We receive no compensation from them other than the happiness of sending awareness about the importance of reading (and style) out into the universe! Use this promo…

They were making a mess with their old drinking fountain – hair and food – and it was hard to refill with fresh water. Saw the Catit Flower Water Fountain on a friend’s Facebook page, read the reviews, watched the video of it in action, and ordered it. You can buy filters for it that keep the water clean and they are easy to keep flushed from any debris. There are a variety of ways to run the water through the fountain. You can set it to run on 3 different settings: Ours flows like a brook but you…

Recently, my husband, John, and I enjoyed a weekend at the historic Read House Hotel in Chattanooga, TN. Located at the intersection of Broad Street and Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard it is a luxury hotel styled in a 1920’s modern design. Gorgeous inside and out with detailed décor it often serves as an event destination in addition to welcoming guests. It’s ideally located within walking distance to key sites around downtown. You can walk to the aquarium, children’s museum, restaurants, the Walnut Street Bridge, and the Bluff View Art District. Bluff view has several galleries, inns, river views, and dining establishments. Where Read House stands now a hotel property has stood for 171 years. Originally, the Crutchfield House was on the property until it burned down…
Swooped into my local Homegoods store yesterday – in and out with social distancing all the way. I’m not affiliated with them, simply a Homegoods addict. Halloween items are trickling in, and as always, you need to hit up lots of their locations to discover everything because they seem to individually order for their own stores. They have diversified items this year with a mix of elegant, vintage-looking, and Disney inspired merchandise. Added lots of choices in Halloween pillows which is thrilling! I need more decorative pillows like a hole in the wall and I may have to start hiding them from my husband, John. So tempting the choices! [envira-gallery id=’5047′] Disney merchandise might have been in the stores in the past, but I hadn’t noticed it. Not a big Disney merch fan. I have friends who like it though so I did notice more items on this trip. [envira-gallery…
How I used the social media tool Tailwind to grow my Instagram following.
I love to find unique gifts. Etsy is a perennial favorite and our home is full of hand crafted items. Art, jewelry, apparel, you name it. We’ve bought them as gifts for almost any occasion and treated ourselves too. I was fortunate in the past couple of months to order 2 unique and custom pieces of jewelry for myself. A 3 stacked beaded bracelet set and a longed for skull ring. Purely by serendipity I found both artists through Instagram friends. I am learning Instagram can be a cool place to uncover ideas for gifts and most people are happy to share where they find items.

I wanted to dispel negative energy and situations around me while strengthening myself too. Bracelets…
Businesses every day are struggling and quickly adapting their operations to survive in the Coronavirus pandemic. If you’re not an essential worker, you are probably quarantining yourself and loved ones at home. You might be online and worried about your favorite business or organization making the cut with tough times. Wondering how you can help them. Turns out employers and employees are finding creative ways to support themselves and YOU can make a difference. Virtual shopping can be both a lifesaver and fun. Creekwater Alpaca Farm in Snellville, Georgia One of our favorite places to visit is Creekwater Alpaca Farm located right outside Atlanta. It’s a fantastic place with alpacas, pigs, rabbits, a LOUD rooster, quinea fowl, goats, and the caretakers who love it. They were really hit hard and facing an animal food shortage so they started a GoFundMe campaign. Then, they began to offer Zoom barn tours. We…
We all have our favorite things. I am a big fan of Poe, Alice in Wonderland, Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson, Queen Elizabeth I, and history itself. In fact, this blog could well have been named with a combination of Poe-Alice-Austen since those are my TOP loves. I’m happy to say I’ve found an Etsy artist who satisfies all of these works of fiction and real characters. Tiffini Elektra X has a fabulous (I don’t throw that word around often) shop: Tartx . I have ordered 3 rings from here and they are some of my favorite jewelry. An Edgar Allan Poe ring, Alice and her crown, and I special ordered one of Jane Austen.

I sold a house recently and wanted to drop by a gift basket to the new owners. Since their house is in the city of Tucker, I wanted to buy gifts from somewhere nearby that reflected their new area. Georgia Gifts & More has multiple locations and their Tucker store is their newest one.
