Oxford

We went to Oxford this weekend for a wedding and it was so great to be back. It honestly was the perfect weekend! We stayed with one of my very best friends from college, Mary Allyn, and had a ball. I took two pictures the entire weekend, so these are some pics I found online to help me document our trip.

Since we rarely we get back to Oxford, we made sure we ate at our favorite restaurants! Friday night we went on a triple date with Mary Allyn, Stephen, Jordan and Taylor to 208. Here's the one picture I took of Bruner and me. Seven years ago (yes, it's been 7 years!) we had our first date at 208 when we were sophomores in college, and we sat at the table behind us in this pic!

Saturday morning, we got up early and walked around the campus and through the grove. Wow, how things have changed — but the campus and the grove are still as beautiful as ever!

Next, we were off to meet MAR, Stephen, J-bird and Taylor at the Big Bad Breakfast. One word to describe: YUM!

And the rest of the day was pretty perfect too...we shopped around the square, had drinks and apps at Proud Larry's and City Grocery, and went to a beautiful wedding for Ryan Walker and Chelsea Logan.

And we finished the trip off Sunday morning with a trip to Bottletree Bakery...

Thanks for such a great weekend Mar! Can't wait to get back to our favorite place on earth!

Sarah Haas Otts Paintings

I am constantly inspired by Sarah Otts.  Not only is she one of my closest friends, but one of the most talented people I know! We both went to Ole Miss and spent a lot of time in the Art Department, working on projects and trying to make deadlines. She was painting and I was in the graphic design lab, but I can remember us sharing our love for art and design back then. 

I never would have thought that five years later, we'd both live in Mobile, pursuing the same passion we were back then, but now on a professional level. Sarah exudes talent, and her work just keeps getting better and better! I have a Sarah Hass Otts painting in our living room, and it makes ALL the difference in the world and ties the entire space together!
