Whew! It’s been a crazy couple of weeks for me.
I’ve hit the ground running after returning from spending the weekend down in Alabama at The Chapel Market! It was such a blast!

Rhoda and I road tripped it down to Pike Road, Alabama from Atlanta, with lots of goodies in tow to sell at the Market…
There were so many amazing moments, from setting up in the gorgeous Chapel….
to a special dinner prepared for us by the ladies in Layla and Kevin’s little community The Waters. A big huge, Southern hug to Kathy and Eddie for opening up their gorgeous, but even more importantly, warm and inviting home
…to getting a tour of the new “The Lettered Cottage”,
to staying up late into the night laughing with my roomies Rhoda, Myra and Susie!
Sharing a booth with my dear friends Laura and KariAnne was the icing on the cake!
I love these two girls so much and every moment I spend with them is full of laughs, good conversation and lots of hugs!
A big thank you to Layla, Kevin and Evan for creating such an amazing event! I’m officially throwing in my vote for The Chapel Market, Part Deux next year! 🙂
Now I’m back home and gearing up for the Atlanta Country Living Fair, where I am so honored to be presenting a demonstration on the Main Stage, this coming Saturday at 11 am!
I will be sharing how to make DIY Mini Christmas Trees like these…..
and these…..
and these…
I can’t wait to see many of our friends who will be there shopping or set up in booths, like our fabulous sponsors Jeanne of JuNxtaposition and Lucy of Bel Monili! If you are planning on being there Saturday, I hope you’ll come by and say, “Hi!” I’d love to see some of our readers!
I feel so blessed for these amazing opportunities, but even more importantly for the friendships made. They are the true blessings in life!
See you back here soon…at the picket fence!
I told my husband yesterday that I wanted to move to the south! So many wonderful things happening for you Southern girls lately! Thank you for sharing with us – it’s fun to see you all having such a great time! Can’t wait to hear all about the Country Living Fair and I’m sure you will be amazing!
Oh Heather…did not know you were presenting at the Fair..fantastic!…See you there….and it looks like you had such great fun with some pretty great people at the Chapel Market!
Such a blast to spend time with you – and you are going to rock the fair!
Woohoo! I cannot wait! So very excited to see your presentation, Heather. I still have to get my wording finalized for my presentation, and I might be preparing right up until the minute I step on stage, but I’ll be there to see you for sure. You’re the first thing I’m headed to see! 🙂
Bummed that I missed the Chapel Market but looking forward to the CL Fair this Sat! Hope to see you there, Heather!

Looking forward to catching you at the Country Living Fair this weekend!
So exciting! Thanks for the recap. Looks like you guys had a great time!
The Chapel Hill Market looked like an amazing experience! Over at Thistle she had some photos of the booths. I saw so many things that I would have loved to buy. The church and town looked like it was out of a Norman Rockwell painting. How cool for all of you to be together for such a great sale. Love the photo of you and KariAnne and your houndstooth sweater. I heard about the quick fix for her earring. You have inspired me with the sea shell christmas trees. Perfect for a coastal style living room.
Had so planned to be up in Atlanta to go to the fair, but some family issues (mom’s health) has kept me in good ole South Florida – so no go this year. Have a blast and I’ll have to live through your blog post and look forward to seeing lots of pictures of all the great fun – I’ll make it up there one day!
