Flashback Friday {Mardi Gras Facade 2021}

 Yesterday, a photo of the Acorn Cottage was posted to instagram by the great folks at Bevolo, our source for gas lights. The photo was taken by @nola_val (Valerie Esparza) during the 2021 Carnival season. It is a great photo of the facade in her purple, green, and gold finery.

I have not decorated yet, but I will soon. I am waiting on a project to be completed soon. I hope to decorate fully by the Martin Luther King holiday.

Flashback Friday, y'all!

Flashback Friday {Early Spring 2007}

I love looking back at my Atlanta home and yard. This post first appeared on Uptown Acorn exactly 6 years ago, March 23, 2012. Enjoy.

One of the things I miss most of my Atlanta home was the huge, lush landscaped yard. Well manicured and abundant with flowers, trees, shrubs, and grasses, my Atlanta yard was well perched high upon a hill ready for passer-byers to witness her in her springtime glory.

Take a look back with me as I remember the beautiful early springtime blooms and plants of an Atlanta Spring circa 2007:

Happy Spring Planting, y’all!
