Blue & White Cheswick Pattern Platter

 While shopping in Laurel, Mississippi recently, J and I spotted a great blue and white platter to add to our ever-growing collection of blue and white porcelain. The platter was purchased at our favorite shop, Southern Antiques.

The back of the platter reads Royal Semi Porcelain, Cheswick Pattern, Booth, England. The platter is sunstantial in size & weight and has been placed on our dining room shelf. If anyone knows anything about this type of porcelain and its value, feel free to message me. We simply purchased it for its beauty.

Blue & White, y'all!

Uptown Acorn Travels {Go Fourth: Laurel, MS}

 J and I headed out for the 4th of July holiday to Laurel, MS, the hometown featured in our favorite HGTV show, HomeTown with Ben and Erin Napier. Many of you who have followed the blog are already aware that we first visited this charming city last summer.

This year, we decided to dine at Bird Dog Cafe which was featured in an earlier season of HomeTown. Bird Dog's is in a charming home well-appointed with the HomeTown couples touches. The renovation of the charming home into an eatery was featured in Season 4 of HomeTown: click HERE. I'd recommend the chicken salad sandwich. It was a perfect lunch treat.

My most favorite shop in the city is Southern Antiques. It was great to finally meet Andrea, the owner. I have ordered online from the shop a few times, and the process is always pleasant. It was great to finally put a face to a name. 

We walked the downtown area and also had to stop in the Laurel Mercantile, the shop owned by Ben and Erin.

A trip to Laurel is never complete without a drive through the streets that surround downtown. We even discovered a couple homes that were featured in the latest season of HomeTown.

It's also a treat to pass in front of the house owned by Ben and Erin. #stalker 

More beautiful homes...

I definitely recommend a trip to Laurel. It's such a sweet and charming place.

Do you watch HomeTown?

Laurel, y'all!

 I am loving my newest birdie door hanger purchased through Southern Antiques as featured on Home Town in Laurel, MS. The bird looks quite patriotic along with the ribbons. I put "him" out on Flag Day, and he will remain out until July 4.
