Pretty in Pink

We had an extremely fun, successful market this year! We found a crib, changing table/ dresser, bed linens, swivel glider and ottoman, the sweetest outfits, and of course there was a pit stop at the HOBO sample room!

We checked into the Ritz on Friday around lunch time and went straight to the porch where we had an awesome lunch to gear us up for super shopping. We headed over to market and immediately went to the fine linens floor where we knew the baby showrooms were. I originally thought I wanted a dark-stained sleigh crib but after seeing one in the first showroom I decided that I wanted something less dramatic and more casual. Well, did I hit the jackpot when we strolled into the Peas and Honey showroom! We immediately fell in love with this hand-stitched silk, one of a kind, perfect set!
Disclaimer: This picture was taken by my mom's iphone and
will never do this designer justice (she was there and I fell in love her). The colors are pale pink and pale green and this is not the crib that we chose but it is in the same line...it's white, distressed wood, and more of a sleigh crib design just not as big and bold). Everything should be arriving in the next 8 weeks so I'll give a room tour when everything is done!
After hitting the mother-load in Peas and Honey, I enjoyed walking around browsing with less pressure. That night we went back to the porch for an awesome dinner and it was bed time!

Breakfast in bed (spoiled rotten...I know) got us energy for a full day of the gift building and chair hunting! I found a beautiful leather HOBO purse and a mustard colored clutch for my mother-in-laws birthday...gotta love the HOBO sample room. Then, we went to the baby apparel floor and found precious smocked bubbles and dresses and Kissy Kissy galore. Later that day, the perfect chair was spotted and the nursery is complete! I got a linen slip cover with green welting...and it could not be more comfortable. So after another amazing meal at the brand new Il Mulino next to the Ritz, it was back to Beaufort to show Graham all of the loot and await my furniture and bedding!

To Market, To Market...

to buy my little girl some furniture! I am leaving for Florence tomorrow to spend time with my family before my mom, one of her friends, and I head to AmericasMart in Atlanta!!!!!!!!

We will spend the whole weekend trying to conquer wholesale heaven, looking for the perfect crib, chair, changing table/dresser, and not to mention lounge and dine in the beautiful...

Ritz in downtown Atlanta! The three of us went last year and had a ball and if you've been you know its something that cannot be described. It's truly an experience that is a shopper's dream and this time I get to venture onto the baby floor....watch out Atlanta here we come!

Sorry about the picture delay...I'll try to get those up tonight!

It's a...

GIRL!

She is precious! We went to Savannah yesterday to have an ultrasound and right when she came up on the screen she let it be known that she was not going to have her daddy call her a "he" anymore! She wiggled, squirmed, and even sucked her thumb (cutest thing ever)! She is definitely going to be a giant like her parents because she is already measuring a week ahead in length...we weren't really expecting any less!

Graham is going to scan the pictures in tonight, but I just wanted to post an update in the meantime....we are so proud of our little girl!
