A day of inspiration........

It has been a very busy couple week in the House of T. I told my Grandmother today on the telephone, "If I am not at work, I am out shopping". I don't know if it is the heat or what, but I have been confusing myself very easily this week. Luckily, I laugh at myself often so I don't take my mistakes too seriously.

My Ah ah moment of the week had to be at work on Wednesday. The Federal Express delivery man delivered a package addressed to me. I looked at the box and realized I had shipped something to MYSELF FROM MYSELF... haha.. The following day I took a mental health day off of work.

This past Sunday was similar. Kerry Howard, from KMH Interiors and I needed some design inspiration so we decided to go to Scott's Antique Market. For those of you that are unaware, Scott's Antique Market is South of the city, maybe 15 miles on the outskirts. As we get closer we are getting excited, talking about what building we want to go to first, what booths we are excited about visiting again and of course I'm talking about the snack bar and what snick snack I want.....

So we exit the ramp and to our SURPRISE...... The parking lot is locked UP. Scott's Antique Show was LAST weekend!!! We just laughed and laughed with a hint of disappointment.

The good news was that Kerry was very instinctive and created a back up plan. We will call it "The Gettin' place". (Side note: Growing up people would come to my family's antique store and ask us where we got our antiques from, My Mother always explained to me "When someone asks where your source is from, you reply "the gettin place". So, with that in mind and if every life scenario I say "the gettin place".)

We soon arrived at our new destination and it was somewhere I had never been. We had a great a day and I met some great people. True down to to earth, wholesome people.


My find of the day had to be this vintage crystal glass decanter. The stately crystal square base paired with a traditional form gives it more elegance I will ever have. It is a piece that tells a rich story and could live in more than one type of home. I could picture it on a bedside table in a Buckhead Estate, all the way to a modern glass windowed home in the hills of Hollywood. I could see it filled with a gentleman's liquor in a paneled library or a small New York city apartment. It really won over my heart. It was a must have.



This weekend calls for more inspiration. A trip to the High is slated for Friday evening. The exhibit: The Allure of the Automobile.

Until next time......
