rwood studio shoot

if it weren't for r.wood studio, beautyeveryday may not exist.  the three of us met through the work we have done with rebecca at her pottery studio.  even after working at the studio for nearly a decade i still feel just as inspired as the first time i ever saw it.  the days that we spend styling, eating, and taking pictures are always a treat!  here are some pics from our photoshoot that we did the otherday in our friends bright and cheery studio.

Pick a Pickle

my friend hugh and i recently made our second book...this time, we did a little one...about pickles. it is full of yummy recipes and is packaged like a swatchbook, so you can "fan" out the recipes and see which one tempts you...

a mysterious past

another little shack on the side of the road. wondering who lived here and what life was like.

wisteria

i saw my first bit of wisteria, my first year living in the south.  it is something that i will never forget.  i was in awe of it's color, the smell, and how it covered the town - it is now one of my favorite times of the year.  we have some woods next to our house that is just covered in vines.  i have spent a good while just smelling and looking up at the lovely lavender blossoms and lime-colored growth against the white sky.

shaking rock spring

i visited shaking rock park to look for spring. the granite boulders are very photogenic, and so are the lichens and shadows. at the bottom of the hill is a swamp where spring was in full procession.
