Let Your Home Be Your Heart

  • What I hope for my readers and for all keepers of the nest, is that they embrace their homes with their heart and all of the passion that it holds. I want them to know that they can decorate on a limited budget by seeing things in new ways; by rescuing the broken and transforming the ugly. I hope that they flaunt their favorite color and decorate their life with it. I hope that their homes feel like one giant hug that welcomes them each and every time they walk through their front door. More than anything I want everyone to have their own home-sweet-home dream come true! xo, Kim

Shopping in Savannah - Part II

Okay, let's get back to our shopping in wonderful Savannah!

Savannah is home to the Savannah College of Art and Design...

ShopSCAD is a fabulous store, featuring art and designs of the students, staff, and alumni of the college. Let's go in, shall we?

Time to walk down another street.....

Hmmm - this reminds me of home!  ;-)

I love the campus shop! How creative! My daughter would love the vintage clothing store too. She used to sell vintage clothing on eBay.

Love, love it all. We always tease Gracie that she will have to attend SCAD...she loves art and design so it would be a great fit right? And it would give us the excuse to return to Savannah A LOT!!!


Love,

Cindy ~ My Romantic Home

I just found a beautiful antique french settee just like the one in your photo on Craigslist for only $125! It needs to be reupholstered and I would have done it in off white just like that one if only I had room for it. It's frustrating to let a deal like that go!

I love looking at all your photos! I almost feel like I've been there myself!

Your blog is like eye candy! I love Savannah and recognize a few of the shops in your pictures. My husband tried to talk me into an impromptu visit up there this weekend but I nixed the idea. I really regret it now!

Kim, Tell me that you got to Vintage General on Broughton. It's just about the prettiest store I have ever seen.

Oh how I have enjoyed catching up here today. I absolutley LOVE Savannah and you have captured it so well. The shopping is fabulous and the displays are all so inspirational. Did you dine at Lady and Son? My first introduction to true Southern food! I have such fond memories of my last visit-- passing student housing and seeing SCAD students hanging out of open windows! Of course we have SCAD here but it's not quite the same as that setting! Thanks for the great photos Kim! You always share so generously!

Joy at Cupids Charm

Hi Kim! Thank you so much for all the wonderful photos of Savannah. One of my most favorite places on earth. My sister-in-law and her husband are there right now for the weekend. They had never been to Savannah, so I gave her your blog link so she could get a peek before her trip. She loved your site and the pictures. So this week, you've been like our own personal travel agent! Thanks for posting such lovely photos. Have a great weekend. xoxo ~ Joy J.

Hi sweet Kim :)

My Annie would love shopSCAD. She wants to be an artist when she grows up :) What a wonderful learning environment they have.

The vintage shops there remind me of Melrose out in California. Those dresses are darling!

Thank you for writing those encouraging words to me about the farmhouse. You brought tears of hope to my eyes as I read them. You'll never know how much that meant to me. Thank you too for ALWAYS being so sweet to me. I'm so glad I found you and Daisy Cottage :)

Love and hugs,
rue

I'm so glad you enjoyed our city! Your pictures surely did it justice.
The SCAD store is amazing.... so much
creativity.
One of our favorite things to do on the weekends is to go to the Candy Kitchen and catch the flying fresh taffy- then enjoy a picnic lunch in Forsyth park.

Savannah is a beautiful city- Hope everyone who wants to visit DOES!

Reading your blog is such therapy for me. You have made me treasure the finer things in life that I use to overlook. Birds singing, flowers blooming, my home and all of the treasures within it. I'm not sure that I ever looked at a teacup or saucer and saw such detail and beauty in it." ~ Dena

Thank You Grace!

Since I was diagnosed with an immune disease a year ago I wanted only to read positive and very inspiring blogs and your blog was the first I found. I think maybe the good Lord meant for me to find your blog and since then it has been nothing but smiles all around. I have tried very hard to stay positive about this disease and very up beat. I know that there is no cure and I have accepted this, but reading things with a positive message and filled with so much love helps. This is where you come in and I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and to let you know how very much you and Miss Maggie are loved." ~ Grace

What a relief! We aren't alone! I'm not alone. Thanks for all your inspiration and for confidently sharing your home and the idea that we can have fun with our decorating.

After so much loneliness and isolation it is overwhelming to me that such a world even exists. In time I hope to be able to fill my garden of life with lovely, loving friends instead of the weeds of loneliness. Until that time lace tablecloths will come out of storage, music and lovely scents will fill the air of this home. And I shall visit the Daisy Cottage when I feel despair raise its dark, obscuring head, for I know from experience, that it is ever lurking behind that next bout of pain and weakness. Your kind and generous response has strengthened my resolve, you have helped me more than you will ever know, my new-found friend." ~ Lenna

Then, the rain and thunder stop and the sun comes shining through all the windows and you just know it's going to be a beautiful, sunshine day? Well, that's how finding Dear Daisy Cottage made me feel. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Kim. You blessed my day and may God do the same for you." ~ Lisa B.

I came to your blog looking for pictures to inspire me as I redecorate my house with cottage style. Today I was so tangled up in doing it "right" that it was really depressing me. I visited your blog again for some fresh ideas and came away realizing that there is no "right." Just me being me and enjoying my home! I am laying here in bed with tears in my eyes - tears of happiness that it is okay to be me and let that shine through in my house and what I wear and what I make with my hands. You are God's gift to me today and I thank Him and you." ~ Anne
