A treat for mommy

On a recent trip to Savannah, Georgia, I realized the hostess of my trip was the most talented jewelry designer! I immediately had to have something from her collection. Anyone who has seen me the last week, has probably noticed my new jewels - I can't seem to take them off!

Here's a little bio on Kendall...what's not mentioned are the fabulous years spent working in Sea Island, Atlanta and rooming with me! If you would like something similar, her pieces are sold through SCAD.

"Kendall McCurry began making jewelry a few years ago after she felt the need to provide great jewelry for herself and her friends at affordable prices. Her bold and colorful pieces have quickly become a favorite of many at Savannah College of Art and Design. She creates her beaded pieces simply as to highlight the unique beauty of semi-precious stones and crystals. A native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Kendall now resides in Savannah, Georgia with her husband, their son Ford and daughter, Eleanor. Kendall holds an MA in Art History from Savannah College of Art and Design."

Georgia on my mind...

Last week we made a quick trip down South and it was just what the doctor ordered! I am refreshed & inspired to be a better wife, mom & business woman. If you ever get a chance to stay in Savannah, I highly recommend it! I've been there a few times and always seem to have a fabulous time. I'm attaching photos & links to some of my favorite finds...we started our day at the Gryphon Tea Room, a delicious menu served in an amazing old pharmacy/soda shop. We crossed the street after lunch to ShopSCAD, I could have done major damage. They carry items from current & former SCAD (Savannah College of Art & Design) students, all wonderful!

Our hostess is one of the featured jewelry artists at ShopSCAD - love her stuff!

These cuffs were in a fabulous store called satchel. Their focus was on handbags, but they have a large assortment of leather accessories too.

I couldn't decide on my favorite room in The Paris Market - the perfect store to find home accessories or a hostess gift...I loved it all!

I didn't take any photos in BleuBelle Boutique, but it was a shopping experience I'll never forget. There is a jean guru at BleuBelle that takes one look at you, and brings the perfect jean to you - no joke, she got me in the first pair! They also sell second hand jeans, so those $250 jeans just got reasonable!
