“Whimsy Antiques”
Whimsy Antiques has a fun blog everyone needs to check out, http://whimsyantiques.blogspot.com/.
Whimsy Antiques has two stores located in Carpinteria, CA. I had never heard of Carpinteria until I got an email from Karen, owner of Whimsy Antiques. How much fun are the eclectic items featured on her blog? Her shops are filled with many, many treasures. What fun! The California lifestyle is so different than what we are accustomed to here in the South. Not many “Avocado Festivals” in Tennessee. It’s neat to discover talented people and neat shops in other parts of the country. May Karen’s blog bring a little “Whimsy” to your holidays. Enjoy!

Revival
Purveyor of antiquities, luxury gifts and the most uncommon of goods.
Rodney Simmons and Billy Woodall, co-owners or Revival and Revival Studio
are bringing new excitement to Chattanooga!
This fall they will be moving their wonderful shop and design studio to Warehouse Row.
I can’t wait to see the magic they will create.
If you’ve ever been to Revival you know it’s like stepping right into
the pages of a magazine photo shoot. Wow!
Revival Studio will also be creating the interior designs for all
common areas inside Warehouse Row.
I’ve seen just a sneak peak, and it’s going to be very elegant and something
Chattanooga has never seen.
Chattanooga is so fortunate to have the many talents of Rodney and Billy.
Their vision is Chattanooga’s gain.
Make sure you check out Revival’s website
at “Links I Dig” to see more of their wonderful work.

“King Street”
Charleston, SC
c. 1910
If you’ve ever been shopping on “King Street” in Charleston, SC you know what a wonderful place it is to shop. All the neat buildings have so much character.
I thought this photography was very interesting showing what King Street looked like in 1910.
The people may be different now, but the buildings are still the same. Pretty neat!

Lush Life
146 East Andrews Drive
in Buckhead in Atlanta, GA
404.841.9661
One of my favorite things to do when I travel to different cities is to visit other floral, gift shops.
One of my very favorites in any city is Lush Life located in Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia. You walk into an old home that has been transformed into a wonderful oasis. The displays and merchandise are incredible! When you walk out back there is a greenhouse filled with wonderful plants.
Anytime I have a customer needing flowers sent to someone in Atlanta, I always refer them to Lush Life. Next time you’re in Atlanta make sure you stop by.
