Americus Snapshots and Winners!

I simply had the BEST time in Georgia last week. On Tuesday afternoon, I headed out to Atlanta. We kicked off my trip with dinner at the lovely Piedmont Driving Club. The club was just beautiful and filled with lots of chinoiserie which I loved. My parents' friends who they met while living in India were our hosts and we had the most splendid time and fell in love with the peppermint ice cream and homemade hot fudge sauce (thank you to Stefanie for recommending it on Twitter!). On Wednesday morning I met a group of DARLING Twitter friends: SassySES, PreppyPaperGirl, Magnolias Marriage and Manhattan, Allie_in_GA and The Pink Clutch. Sadly, I neglected to take a photo as we had so much fun chatting away. I cannot wait to return to Atlanta so we can do it again! After our little meet and greet it was off to Americus!

The most darling little pup greeted my mother and I as soon as we arrived. He was my faithful companion all weekend.

I had not been back to Americus in 12 years so my mother took me on a little tour. There were SO many amazing homes....more photos to come!

We popped into some of our favorite stores, including Mary Baldwin in downtown Americus.

American Idol contestant, Phillip Phillips, is from a town just down the road from Americus so there were signs all over in support of him. Fingers crossed he continues to do well!

The main reason for going to Americus was to attend one of my dear friend's weddings on Saturday. It was hands down one of the most stunning events I have even been to or even seen. No detail was left undone. It was perfectly beautiful in every way and I am so excited for Mimi and her new husband!!!

I will share more photos of my trip throughout the week, but wanted to announce the Southern Nest and Trio Design Studio giveaway winners....
