Just recently returned  from 6 blissful days in PB. It was soooo relaxing. I really enjoyed this “first” of celebrating Thanksgiving Palmetto Bluff style:) We decided this will become a tradition, and one I am looking forward to sharing with our family hopefully for years to come.

Everything felt so much calmer and more tranquil….maybe partially because it was “less steps” moving around this smaller kitchen and the open feeling just gave the entire day such a special and warm feeling. I loved that everyone was gathered in the same room as I was cooking it just felt really cozy and like Thanksgiving should feel.

I am including some pictures of the house with a few minor changes, a few taken over Thanksgiving and a few taken out and about in Palmetto Bluff because it is such a pretty spot to photograph. It never gets old and especially since they were just starting to decorate for the holidays, it really felt ultra magical!

Walking into this wonderful light filled oasis  instantly lowers my blood pressure:)

Below a few scenes from our Thanksgiving table-

And found great ways to re purpose the flowers the next day!

Favorite time of day, early morning when you don’t hear a sound……it’s me my cup of coffee and 2 great new magazines:)

If you are in the market for beautifully crafted copper gas lanterns look no further than Copper Sculptures (all resources are listed below), I could not have been happier with them, their product or customer service.

Lots still ask about the shutter color, it is Nantucket Fog by Benjamin Moore

Love my front porch

And yet more flowers…but this time these were going to someone whose house we were going to for drinks, it was tempting to keep them

And a few pictures being out and about about Palmetto Bluff-

Every gate was getting a pair of Christmas wreaths

This is the old inn which now serves as a beautiful and super elegant space for private events and weddings and houses a wonderful wine/cigar bar

The new Montage below getting all decked out-

There is a new area called Moreland, where they have a conservation center, yoga studio, bowling alley, restaurants, pool club and so much more, its a really beautiful spot-

Ending it with this gorgeous picture I took of the late sun streaming through the moss, pretty enough to paint:)

And that friends,  is my recap from my last visit to PB. Have you been?  It really is such a special place, and I feel so lucky to get there as often as I possibly can. In fact, once the month of December and all the holiday craziness that goes along with it settles down, we are supposed to be taking an trip outside the country but  I could probably be as happy going there and just unplugging and relaxing for a while:)

I am so happy you decided to share this fun journey with me, and will keep you posted as things continue to shape up over there. My next projects are finally choosing two chests for two areas that need furniture, 2 mirrors, creating a gallery wall and hopefully choosing some art! To be continued……
