I've wanted to visit Highlands and Cashiers for a long time. It is only 3 and a half hour drive. We went up for a short visit to see the Cashiers showhouse at Burt Farm. It was lovely and large. 
Dinner at Madison restaurant at Old Edwards Inn was very nice--  I loved the cream of onion soup and the dessert! 
It was about 15 degrees cooler up there a welcome break from the heat here.  Hydrangeas were in full bloom all around town. 
Can't wait to go back maybe in fall--that would be pretty. We saw Christmas tree farms too in Cashiers which is so close to Highlands. 
Don't miss the chance to see the area if you are ever near it stunning views and fresh air.
Have a Pink day!

Bonjour!
Summer is such a hard time to blog .
Not much going on and too hot and humid to do much outside. So I have been finding things on-line that I obsess about. I see something then research it and sometimes search for it or sometimes I am content with the new knowledge.
As you know, I love pink and green and those colors in jewelry form are so enticing! Love the ring above.
I continue to learn more about Meissen porcelains and found this photo of a food warmer.What an elegant way to heat up a snack! 
The French chair above I found on Anita Pelayo Rivera's blog (see link above) and I adore it!!
So I will search flea markets and fairs and on-line auctions. It doesn't have to be an antique just have those correct proportions. I have learned in my ongoing study of French period furniture that proportions are everything
So many reproductions are too bulky or too high. 
French furniture of that era was delicate, feminine and on the "small "side.
My swan and peony obsessions continue. 
If I ever win the lottery I will buy property with a small pond so I can once again have pet swans.
What are you obsessed about?
Have a Pink day!
