Heirloom - Love

Lately I've been accumulating little trinkets and baubles from relatives who have since passed and I thought I would share some of these things that are so special and close to my heart. My Granny Love recently passed away and our family has been going through her belongings (a task that is quite overwhelming at times). I've been plagued with the question "What of hers would you like?" and I'll be honest... at first I was disgusted by the thought of divvying up what was left behind but I've since slightly warmed up to the idea and brought home a couple things that will always remind me of her. 

She loved artwork of the sea & great old ships and had this awesome copper music box-like ship that plays something I don't know and moves up and down like it were in an ocean. 

       

My aunt gave me the first watch my Papa ever gave to my Granny after they were married in 1953. It's a Goddess of Time Bulova. So small and dainty, like nothing I've ever seen before.

RAD-ventures in LilyLand

First post! I've been researching and working really really late into the night these past few & I have to say I am thrilled with how everything is coming together! Still under construction, as you can see but I'll continue to work play around with this until it's finished. Hey look up! I have a cute pink french macaron favicon!

I've been in sensory overload here lately (in the best way) & so I headed to Broughton St. (Savannah, GA) to indulge in some unique shopping. I did have a plan, and again I say DID because well, per usual my life never goes according to plan. Anyway, I've been scouring every inch of etsy, blog, and internet shop for a cute planner (it's really important to me - what can I say). To no avail, sadly. Today was going to be the day that I found this elusive planner and to my surprise it actually was! Yay me! Although, downtown was a big failure in that department & that it basically monsoon-ed (Thank you Cory!) on me. We'll get to my victory purchase in a minute.

However... I did find a few gems before the rain well, rained on my parade. I've been obsessing over anything and everything neon for a long time and that translated to everything I bought today being neon. 1. Neon & gold fleck glass coaster 2. Neon lucite zip clutch 3. Neon stripped scarf 4. Highlighter pencils! 5. Neon doilies 6. Neon mini notebook with mini pen. Maybe, just maybe all this rain lately has done a number to my psyche. Three dreary, dull & rainy weeks could very well have that effect on a girl! Check out the pics after the jump...
