VA is for lovers

Hi there from the wonderful state of Virginia!  I flew down from Cape Cod last night for a wedding this afternoon on a farm. 

A little country inspiration for you on this sunny saturday.

Working for the Weekend

I recently spent 48 hours in Charleston.  You can read all about it on my photography blog!

Writing two blogs, my budding photography business, a full time job & a holiday in South America has proven to be quite the challenge for me.  Houndstooth and Lace has definitely been put at the bottom of the priority list lately.  I always wonder how anyone keeps up with full time jobs, full time blogging and full time life....any pointers would be most welcome.

Memorial Day weekend has been busy for me.  We have our boss on board.  We started in Newport and cruised over to Cuttyhunk for a night at anchor.  I had never been there before and it is pretty lovely.  It is so green and natural with smooth rocks scattered on the shore.  Apparently there is a population of around 60 people!  There is no airport there but you can reach the island via ferry or private boat.

Due to the fog we decided to come back to Newport instead of making the trek over to Block Island.  Our guests depart this afternoon and I plan on going on a run around Newport.   I hope everyone has enjoyed the long weekend!  Can't wait to live vicariously through all your blogs! X

Out to Sea

We are somewhere between St. Thomas & Puerto Rico right now our ETA into south Florida is Tuesday mid day.  4 days & 7 hours.  Don't worry we have all the modern amenities, internet, satellite tv, fresh food prepared daily by cheffy.  Hopefully the weather will stay as glorious as it is right now.

The nice thing about living on a boat is no packing.  That's right my friends everything is neatly put away in my mini American cherry & mahogany clad closet.  Seriously you should see the size of this closet...tiny!  Anyone interested in a tour of my cabin on board?  

 I will be packing when I arrive in Florida because I am heading to New York.  My gorgeous and talented young sister is about to add marathon running to her repertoire.  She is running her first half marathon & I can't wait to stand at the finish line to cheer her on.

Speaking of traveling have you read the uber stylish southern mama Julia's blog this past week?  She was out celebrating her anniversary and taking care of her sweet little angel so she invited some fabulous guest bloggers covering all things travel.  I have another post planned to gush about how fabulous Julia is but in the meantime go check out Posh by Julia Ryan Photography to get a taste.  

Images from my favorite obsession.  Seriously I need an intervention.
