School is back in session here in Charlotte as of today, and it is even a bit cooler than usual for an August day. Though surely the heat will return, summer is starting to come to a close. I am starting to think about the fall, holidays and Christmas cards. I know I will blink and it will all be here.
We have had a wonderful summer and a few fun vacations, but I am ready to get back into a routine with the boys and work. One of my little guys now associates “late summer” with the start of football…
While we were away I enjoyed reading the September issue of Food and Wine and love this kitchen featured in it by Tracery Interiors. It is kind of rustic with some modern elements. How smart instead of one large island to make the two different ones with light fixtures above each.
I also feel fall coming because I just signed up to go to the huge Metrolina fall expo. with Eddie and Jaithan. Click HERE if your are in Charlotte and want to go. It will be great! Anna, Suzanne and I will be there Saturday, November 6th. Hope to see you there!
During the next two weeks I am going to “regroup” as I like to call it and get back into the swing of things.
I am going to try to enjoy the late summer too.

Awwww, I love that last pic! Yes, cooler temps here, too, and not even September, it has been mid 60′s in the mornings. I would love to see Charlotte right now. I love to take a long look at all the green before things change. (sigh)

I thought I was the only one who thought about Christmas cards at the end of summer! Time to get back in my design groove after a summer away from all things paper! XO…Linsey
Hey Laura!
You met me a couple days ago in our store, picking out a baby gift
I mentioned you in this week’s blog here, because you’re not the first designer I’ve run into from blogging! http://blueprintsofasouthernbelle.blogspot.com/2010/09/musical-chairs.html
Thanks SO much for reminding us that Eddie is coming to CLT! I am now signed up for Friday, but had a conflict Saturday :-\ Super excited. Antiquing is SUCH a hobby of mine.
Keep in touch,
Erin
