Atlanta Market & an English Garden walk & tea

Just returned from HOT Atlanta from the summer gift show. The highlight was a book signing with......



Gobsmacked!
My total girl crush, and my geek out moment!
  LOVE!


Trends in Atlanta?

Tassels everywhere, liking this one
  
Black and White art
 
Macramé everything
Sorry........I remember these days
Tribal art/patterns/textiles/baskets, rugs........


The organic & textural nature appeals to me, I am really embracing this, in small doses it lives large
We might all keep this in mind

 Before we get to the garden event, I wanted to share a find I thought was smashing

One of my besties, Lisa Burnett, is a master at seeing beyond a piece and elevating it to another level. I bought these for the shop; very old French wine tags framed…..FAB!

  This Friday, we are opening my garden for an 
  English styled garden walk and tea.                        
  As they do in Britain, a private garden opens for a charity.
  Actually I live in Wayne but GPS will not take you there,
  but will if you plug in St. Charles. How do you fix that??
                     
  Our charity is a long time favorite, Garfield Farm,    
  a 366 acre 19th farm, homestead and museum  
  authentically preserved. The dedicated staff will    
  bring rare breed chickens

  Pastries will be providdd by a local Geneva bakery and cafe,  
  Cocoa Bean, well known for excellence and originality
                     
  At 11am and 2pm I will provide a demonstration on  
  professional tips for cutting & arranging fresh 
  flowers  
                     
  Can you come? Hope so, would be lovely to see you!
                         With love!
                           Debra

  3. I too remember the macrame of the 70's and share your lack of enthusiasm for it's latest incarnation. Thanks for sharing the hysterical photos.
