Lowcountry Style...

Happy Saturday!  I hope you've got something fun planned for the weekend...being the mom of two little girls we always have something going on and this weekend is no exception.  We've got a princess birthday party to go to this morning AND it just so happens to be the 275th Anniversary of the beautiful Isle of Hope where we live!  This morning there is a parade on Bluff Drive (the iconic spot on Isle of Hope), a walking tour with information on the history of the amazing houses, an art show at the Isle of Hope Marina, tons of activities for the kiddos and so much more!  I can't wait to get this day started...and to make you just a teensy bit jealous, here are some of my favorite images of Isle of Hope.....

One of my absolute favorite houses on Bluff Drive....ahh.....one day.....

These are the cottages on Bluff Drive.  They are directly across from the Isle of Hope Marina, so this is their view...

...I know, right??  Amazing.  Marsh grass and yachts...I'll take it!

Can you imagine waking up to this every morning?!  Heaven!

Classic Lowcountry Style at it's best:  someone from Atlanta has just purchased it and done the most AMAZING renovation, pick up the newest addition of Savannah Magazine to see a picture or two!  Sorry, I couldn't find any online images to share with you, but I will tell you that in the back of the house they have added on a little addition and I drove by a few nights ago and of course I peaked (how could you not?!) and there were a few women inside dancing!  Not that kind of dancing, get your mind out of the gutter.  I swear it was a scene out of a movie...wine in hand, arms in the air, having the time of their lives in their newly renovated, unbelievably beautiful historic house on Bluff Drive...so jealous!!  The reno is still ongoing, I can't wait to see when it's finished!

Of course, this is the real reason we live on Isle of Hope...raising our girls on the water is the best, they absolutely love the water and since we don't have a boy, Matt is determined to turn Ava Gray (our oldest, 4 yrs.) into his fishing buddy....so far she loves it, and it won't be long until Scarlett (2 yrs.) can join in the fun!

Happy Saturday everyone!!!  xo...

p.s. Don't be too terribly jealous...we don't live ON the water (and certainly not on Bluff Drive), but a few blocks away suits us perfectly fine for now....
