Hi there. First off…I am TOTALLY overwhelmed by the literal outpouring of information, advice, tips, recommendations, must see’s and do’s, and invitations on my Southern road trip post. You guys are the best, and exemplify to the hilt what southern hospitality is all about!
Seriously from the comments (and many emails I got) I think I could publish my own “Southern road trip travel book- enchanted style”! I cannot thank you enough. The only downside is my head is spinning as there is soooo much I want to see and do and time will not allow for all of it. We took the hot humid weather into consideration, so if you see a woman in a large straw hat with a mini portable spray bottle/fan running around taking all the Southern prettiness in, you can point at me and say “I know you” 🙂
Believe me I will have an arsenal of “tools” to keep me as cool as possible or at least comfortable as can be expected but given our own 100 degree heatwave for the last 7 days, this little lady is ready to do battle (but do hope the AC is blasting everywhere we go)! Even the Southern heat will not deter our trip…….some have asked why August? Simply because once the school year begins, it’s much harder to carve out the time , a lot more going on so we have this wonderful little window and are taking full advantage.
Anyway just wanted to say thanks a million, thanks to you I have more than enough restaurants, cultural stops and highlights, shopping and hotel recommendations to sort through, no need to buy any guide books!! And of course if you missed that post, you must take a look by clicking here.
Moving along..today’s post is a totally random post as they are every week. Ready to get started?
A new stationary line. Oh no, this could be dangerous. You know my love for beautiful fine stationary and then throw in gorgeous monograms, and its positively lethal! Alexa Pulitzer’s line is sooooo exquisite. Check it out and click here if you want to visit click here to visit Alexa Pulitzer. This soooo makes me want to plan a party, wedding, birthday fete for myself….something!
A good rose wine. No time is as perfect for indulging in a chilled glass of rose as summer time. Its the ideal time of year to enjoy this light and mighty pretty wine. A few people had asked me for my personal choices and though I am far from being a oenophile, I do know what I like! A few I really love are…..
On the higher end….(Domaine Ott)
On the lower end of the price spectrum……. (Cupcake Rose)
And you just know I love this label:)
Both are light, fresh and crisp. Perfect to have on hand for when you have guests over or just for yourself…cheers!
Speaking of monograms. Found a wonderful source for monogrammed pillows over at my new hangout, Etsy. I ordered one to be sure it works and that I like it. Calico Daisy is the name of my resource and surely one I will back to again and again..she was wonderful! And boy does it ever work and I don’t like it …….I love it! I am so excited to order a batch now and have since made some decisions for the back patio. Going to keep it simple, with solid navy and doing the Imperial Trellis in navy pillows….if I feel the need for more pattern, I can always add, but think this clean tonal look will look fantastic with the furniture. Can’t wait for it be completed!!
I have created my own little blue and white oasis….and cannot tell you how much I enjoy hanging out here!!
The Imperial Trellis in navy
My home. Not a whole heck of a lot going on in all honesty, but little things here and there. I do hope to step it up come fall (in preparation for the holidays as scary as that sounds)! One of my favorite items for my online shop is the statuary and planters line. I love the big pieces but really love the smaller planters because they make wonderful containers for inside, especially for my orchids. Two of my favorites are below. I found a great local resource for orchids (actually in the Hamptons but a great excuse to head out that way for an orchid fix) and had fun planting them into my containers. All containers shown are available on my online shop, you can visit by clicking here. There are a ton of other sizes/styles available so be sure to inquire if you are looking for something specific.
This urn style is a total classic, looks as beautiful filled with an orchid as it does a fern or hydrangeas
This is the most popular finish, white moss and looks just like old statuary, no one can believe its fiberglass!
The other egg and dart style, a little wider…perfect piece for a large orchid plant!
As you can see I am a big fan of this line….given all the pretty planters by my own front door:)
Brought it inside, and absolutely love it in this vignette…so soft and elegant!
Adore my little white Staffordshire doggies….wish they weren’t discontinued!
Shop news.
I have the good fortune of coming across steals and deals on occasion. I have built a good base of resources and have a decent amount of buying power and as a result am starting something new as an offshoot of my online shop. Every week or two I will be offering “enchanted steals”. These will be limited opportunities to purchase decorative items at substantially discounted prices. They will be limited in quantity, will not make it to the online shop (due to limited quantities) and will be offered through my blog only (and possibly on The Enchanted Home’s Facebook page).
In addition I will have a small “ad” on the right of my blog which will say something to the effect of “Enchanted steal of the week”. I can assure you that the prices will be rock bottom. So…..here are whats up for this week! I have about 6-8 of each item. I am always scouring the market for affordable pretty containers, I like them both for my own home and to keep on hand for gifts, even when you buy an inexpensive plant, it looks so much more elegant when put into a pretty container, so I always have them on hand.
So this weeks “Enchanted steals” are a few containers, prices and sizes below each item.
Item 1. $40.00 for three. Beautiful white glazed trio of garland pots. These are stunning and measure-
8.75Dx7.5H; 6.75Dx5.5H; 5.25Dx4.25H
Adore this trio of white ceramic pots….everyone can use something like this, I like the idea of using it for towels, guest soaps too!
Item 2. $20.00. Lovely painted/glazed white ceramic pot. Perfect for flowers and to use in a bathroom or Kitchen too! Measures 7Lx5.5Wx7H.
Using one myself to hold my utensils…so much prettier than the conventional ones!
Love it for an orchid too……
Item 3. $22.00. This is a beautiful stone pot. Highly versatile, perfect for flowers and/or guest soaps. Measures 12Lx7.5Wx6.5H.
Love the idea of filling it with soaps!
Equally pretty for some lovely orchids!
And look what came back in stock these gorgeous tole lamps that had sold out! They will soon be added to my online shop but they are available now and for sale…just email me if interested!
You know the drill….if interested in any of the above, just email me and I will invoice you and these pretty little goodies will be on their way. Be sure to stay tuned for more great deals and steals on a regular basis……always on the prowl for something good and it’s even sweeter when its a deal, right?
Thanks as always for stopping in….wishing you a fabulous day and start to your week!
OMG, I’m laughing! I used to take those portable fans to the University of Texas football games + frozen rolled washcloths. It was about 115 in that stadium. But, us girls are undaunted when we want to do something aren’t we? Damn the heat, full speed ahead. Loving the little white containers! And, U 2 !!!
Tina another amazing and beautiful post. Your home is just so incredible. I never ever get tire of seeing it. LOVE LOVE the monogram solid pillow, it is perfect. I love the style and the color is spot on.
Great stationary line, going to show to my sister who is planning a wedding for next fall.
Your flowers in all the urns are worthy of a book. I would buy it! You are a very very talented lady. I see a show in your future. Keep up the great work, just love your blog.
All of the stationary products you have shared at TDF. From the crowned lions and elephants to all of the monogrammed designs, you captivated me this morning, Tina! Then your loggia….you have your blue and white dream spot, and I have my white whispey curtained enclosed patio on my end of the country. We are both happy gals, in our own spaces.
SENDING you are warm hug and well-wishes for your southern road trip! Be safe dear one, we are behind ya! Anita
P.S. love that stone planter with the soaps; I would use it for toilet paper!!!!!
Happy Monday morning Tina, I love your musings post, always fun to read and to see what you are up too. I am going to have to check out your monogramming source. I have a pillow that needs a monogram placed on it!! You always give the best sources. I am going to book mark your post on the Southern trip, we go next year and I know it will be a great resource for me too. If you ever do an Enchanted Southern tour book, I will have to purchase it!! Have a great week, Kathysue
Wow! You DID receive lots of tour tips Tina! My father was born and raised in New Orleans so if that’s where you were heading, I’d be able to contribute:). Nothing better than that southern hospitality and the food is amazing so good idea to dress comfortably. The hat and fan will get put to good use! Your pillows are so pretty and the loggia looks like the place to be! I’m a fan of monogrammed anything so I’ll be taking a closer look at that gorgeous stationary.
I am dying over the stationary, Tina. Right up my alley. The pillows are fabulous!! I will have to visit. As always, you have such beautiful treasures in your shop, and I love the steal idea. I hope that your week is off to a great start! Teresa xoxo
The pillows look fabulous, Tina. The addition of the monogrammed navy pillow is perfect. I am going to make note of your resource as we all know monogrammed pillows (nice ones) cost a pretty penny. The stationary is so beautiful, good to remember for my sons wedding in 2015! Love all your urns and flowers, you do seem to have a way with orchids. My green thumb is hopeless but if you want to share any maintenance tips, I am all ears. They are just beautiful. Love the setting with the white staffordshire dogs.
Wow, those are some amazing prices on your store items!! I love the new stationary lie, too. I’ve been MIA this summer – just too much going on at home – and I really miss being able to read all of your posts. Thank you for being such a loyal commenter on my blog even when I haven’t been able to visit you as often. i hope you are enjoying summer and not working too hard! Stacy
After the weather we’ve been having this week, we’re ready to explore Alaska! But a spritz bottle filled with cold water is a great idea and we’ll have to steal it for our next regatta. Your outdoor space is lovely! xxoo C + C
Tina, I have glanced at Alexis’ line….trying to recall where I saw it. But, have not seen the breadth you share here. Adore! I think after my husband and sons, I love paper the most! 🙂
The monogrammed pillow, along with the rest is just beyond! You must want to hang out there all the time with a glass of rose…which speaking of, I love Domaine Ott, but Cupcake Rose is tempting me with its price point and name. Such a sucker for great marketing!
Cheers to the new baby boy…I’m sure you’re as excited about Prince Cambridge as I am!!! xoxo Elizabeth
Tina…Love the stationary. The monogrammed pillow looks beautiful on your patio! The tole lamps are to die for!!! So pretty. Can’t wait to hear about the plans for your upcoming trip.
The stationary, the lamps, your beautiful porch and of course all those stunning flowers are incredible. I love it all and wish I could have one of each:-)
Drink Rose all summer long and love Domaine Ott, never tried Cupcake and if you like rose you should also try Gary Farrell(also pricey) but so so good.
Would love to know the secret to keeping your orchids looking so beautiful and healthy. I am completely clueless when it comes to taking care of flowers.
Oh, your outdoor sitting area is beautiful! One of your readers stopped by my shop and mentioned she saw the applique pillow cover on your blog, so, of course, I had to see! Your outdoor area is so lovely, and I am very happy to be part of your blue and white scheme. Thank you for finding me! — Michele
I’m speechless, those lamps, planters, pots, cushions – it’s all too too gorgeous! I really love your stunning blue and white oasis, your choice of cushions is glorious, love them all.
Hi Tina Gorgeous array of stationary, it appears very high quality! Love the tole lamps I am going to try out your Rose recommendations! I have to say your loggia has turned out to be the most beautifully inviting area for relaxing and entertaining. Bravo!
Gorgeous stationery – I need to spend a good amount of time on their site. These designs are what I have been searching for. Love those sweet white pots, timeless pieces.
Your patio is A M A Z I N G! Love the pillow combination and the monogrammed one in navy is the perfect finishing touch. Great choices that you have made, want to come and give my patio a makeover:0
Love the idea of your enchanted steals. Great prices on all the above and I think its a great idea to keep containers like that on hand too. Love Rose for the summer as well so thanks for the recommendations.
As always, so much to love here. Isn’t the Alexa Pulitzer stationary gorgeous? I have an ingenious mouse/note pad with that elephant on it. It’s so pretty I hate to use it to take notes on. Did you know that she is doing outdoor drink glasses now? Perfect for poolside! Hope your week is off to a wonderful start, Tina! XOXO
Hi Tina, so much gorgeousness here! And there’s more gorgeousness (your patio!) at Calling It Home today in case you hadn’t seen it! So happy to know of the incredible stationery!
Fabulous post Tina ~ funny as always. Your humor is worthy of a sitcom writer. I love the pictures of your breathtaking home; the blue and white is so crisp and you can never go wrong with monograms! It should be photographed for a coffee table book! I would buy it! I know your Southern Road Trip will entertain us with gorgeous photos and catchy commentary. Can’t wait! Love love love the stationary ~ worthy of a Prince Keep blogging!
Whoa, so much to love. The lamps, that gorgeous stationary (need to remember this name for my big 5-0 next spring) that is right up my alley.
Love love your patio, I would sit there all day just taking it all in, your patio is my inspiration for what i hope to achieve on a smaller scale next season.
The rose sounds really good right now, but think I think I need to settle for a cup of coffee since I will be teaching until 9pm.
First I’d like to say how much I love your bathroom! The bowl with the soaps in it make a great welcoming touch to the beautiful space! Love it and I’m so glad that you got so many ideas for your trip! I’m looking forward to your recap!
Oh my goodness your patio looks divine! I can’t get over the many ways you use blue and white in your decor and it never gets old! I must hop over to Etsy everyone finds the most amazing things there! xo Sharon
Tina, there were so many great suggestions I wrote some down for my own trips! I know you are going to have a fabulous time!
The stationary is FABULOUS ! I love every thing you have featured! And your monogram pillow, I am going to get a few for myself. Thnks for sharing your source.
Hi Tina! I am dying over that stationary – it’s lovely! And, I think it’s understandable that things have slowed down on the home front after all of the big decisions you have made over the last few years. 🙂 I have decided to stop blogging but wanted to stop by to say hello and that I’ll be sure to stop by to say hello once in a while going forward…please keep in touch via email!
The A. Pulitzer stationary is exquisite! Cannot wait to jump over there! I love a nice cold rosé, I usually buy mine by color. In general, I find the darker rosés are sweeter, heavier, I prefer the more pale versions like the Ott you showed. That was THE wine in all of the beach clubs in the South of France last summer!
Your Southern road trip sounds so exciting, I can’t wait to hear all about it when you return!…and that stationary is just gorgeous…I think i’ll have to get some for myself!…Have a fab week…xv

Absolutely love those lamps!! Classic yet fun at the same time!

The stationary is FABULOUS ! I love every thing you have featured! And your monogram pillow, I am going to get a few for myself. Thnks for sharing your source.
I hope you have. Great week,

Hi Tina! I am dying over that stationary – it’s lovely! And, I think it’s understandable that things have slowed down on the home front after all of the big decisions you have made over the last few years. 🙂 I have decided to stop blogging but wanted to stop by to say hello and that I’ll be sure to stop by to say hello once in a while going forward…please keep in touch via email!

The A. Pulitzer stationary is exquisite! Cannot wait to jump over there! I love a nice cold rosé, I usually buy mine by color. In general, I find the darker rosés are sweeter, heavier, I prefer the more pale versions like the Ott you showed. That was THE wine in all of the beach clubs in the South of France last summer!
Your Southern road trip sounds so exciting, I can’t wait to hear all about it when you return!…and that stationary is just gorgeous…I think i’ll have to get some for myself!…Have a fab week…xv
