On today… This afternoon was supposed to be super busy and crazy. It didn’t actually turn out that way, though. I met up with Kiah at the OH! Salon for a hair cut right after work. He gave me a very cool, swingy cut. It’s a lot of layers but they’re staggered in a really …

apples
Forrest brought home these lovelies from the All Local Farmer’s Market on Wednesday evening. Aren’t they gorgeous? They’re from Windy Hill Orchard in York, SC and they are SO delicious. Beats the pants off anything you’d find in the produce aisle.
pretties.
I found this lovely at my favorite local thrift store this morning. The mirrored bottom has a few scratches, but for five dollars I was NOT leaving it behind. I started polishing the silver sides and I think it’s going to clean up nicely. Also, have you ever tried Sweeteeth Chocolate? They are from Charleston …
Artsy Fartsy
Waking Up, by Forrest Clonts Today’s artistic highlight is different from usual (it doesn’t hang in our house) and F may be embarrassed by it. Forrest took this photo (early morning, Gervais St. bridge), turned it into an acrylic lift, and mounted it on wood. It was created to be sold in a fundraising auction …
when tomatoes attack.
We had a fantastic time at the Palmetto Tasty Tomato Festival on Sunday! Forrest was the event photographer, so I hung out and ate as many tomatoes/tomato dishes as possible. It’s awesome to see the variety of heirloom tomatoes being grown at City Roots and by others throughout the midlands. They’re beautiful and delicious! Our …
STUFFED.
I won’t say that I’m a chicken wing connoisseur, but I DID grow up with a dad from Buffalo, NY, the place that put chicken wings on the map! Every time we’re there, we end up on a quest for chicken wings at some place or another. SO, maybe I lived with a wing connoisseur…that …
Artsy Fartsy Fridays: Take 1
Haha We’re beginning a series of posts that will highlight the art in our home. Every Friday, I’ll post a photo and information about the artist and the work. We’re lucky enough to have a fair amount of original artwork by our friends, teachers, and a few local artists. Forrest thinks we should call this …
weekenders
It’s been a slow, lovely weekend. We spent yesterday afternoon on the lock in the river with Nick, Shannon, and a few friends. Then we came home, cleaned up, and enjoyed a dinner of Caw Caw burgers (a fabulous new beef-pork blend from Caw Caw Creek in Columbia), spinach salad, and sauteed summer squash. Oh, …
River Rats
Nick Wilson, of The Half and Half fame, is an interesting character. He’s the kind of person that just seems to make things happen, whether it’s learning Dreamweaver in 4 days to get a summer internship or creating a zip line across a 50ft stretch of river, complete with additional hook ups for toting coolers and …
hey there, beautiful
In celebration our third anniversary last night we cleaned up, put on our fancy clothes, and headed over to the Hampton Street Vineyard! It isn’t really a vineyard, but their crab cake was on the cover of Columbia Metropolitan last month. AND it was beautiful and I knew when I saw it that I had …
