Ashley's Serene Seaside Retreat

Good Evening!! It's my pleasure to share a couple of very special photos I took this passed week during which mom & I spent time visiting my sister in South Carolina, where Ashley currently resides & works!! We spent about 3 days helping my sister decorate & add warmth & comfort to her new apartment, which definitely turned out sleek & modern, but still beachy, whimsical, & fun!! (& 2 days adventurously exploring the lively area) There were multitudes of amazing home decor stores & seaside consignment shops that made my mouth water such as The World Market, Home Goods, The Seaside Cottage, The Hammock Shops, & Old Time Pottery, many of which we walked away with some fabulous finds!! I was literally hyper-ventilating all day!!A couple of times, a few unexpected items made their way into the beautiful collection of items we selected to spruce up Ashley's Seaside retreat, which made her wonder if she had the correct shopping cart. (She did a couple of double takes) Examples of which seem to be a couple of shabby chic cottagy items...where did they come from?
And of course, we couldn't even resist Good ol' Target!!
Or for that matter, the Piggly Wiggly, which is an extremely popular super market in South Carolina...Who know? Except for the Wiggly Piggly himself (pictured below)
All in all, we were exceedingly adventurous & had a fabulous time!! Wish we could've stayed longer!!
We're confident Ashley will make lots of new exciting friends such as her new pal Al (pictured below)!! What a hunk!! Check out those jaws!! And a couple of dead dogs that hang by the local saloon!!
