Days two and three of our Savannah trip were all sorts of goodness. Barbecue with Vanessa and Abi, fabric shopping at Measure, a tour through the Mercer Williams home (highlight of the trip for me!!), vintage hunts on Broughton Street, nights spent staying out and mornings spent sleeping in. And drinking to-go cups of beer on the street(excite). We finished the trip with Back in the Day Bakery, where Neil ate molasses cookies and I tried a star brownie, and both of us grabbed their amazing marshmallows and coffee.

I ended up finding the best felted wool hat at Civvies on East Broughton and red blazer at the new Forever21 in Lenox Mall in Atlanta (pre-Savannah, while on the hunt for a dress for my sister's wedding.. last minute as usual). That fine young man in the photos is of course Neil Winter, and he's wearing an American Apparel denim shirt, Billy Reid jeans, and my camera bag (thanks, Neil). Grand red mansion? Mercer Williams house. Row of brick townhomes? Our bed and breakfast (ironically once owned by Jim Williams).

Did you see that awesome fabric? Liberty of London. Out of my price range but I can dream.

I'm pretty happy right now.. Neil and I went out of town a couple of nights ago to see the Avett Brothers play in southern Illinois and visit some school friends (good times), and while we were gone, our little dog Bloom got really sick. We took her to an emergency clinic when we got home last night and she was diagnosed with pancreatitis and an infection. We've been giving her antibiotics and pain relievers all today and last night, and she's already starting to look like her old, crazy self again. Yay for health! We have to monitor her but I think her medicine is going to take care of things.
