Total denial is setting in. How can it be 21 days to Christmas? I was so on top of things, and now I’m kind of slowly falling behind. I have not even thought about Christmas cards yet. I have two packages to mail “up north”, which I am going to do this week, before the crazy post office lines become crazier. No tree yet. No wreaths on the front windows. (Okay, I get a pass on that one, because we’ve ordered them, but they haven’t arrived just yet.) And let’s not even talk about the elf who visits our home starting on the 15th. Arggggh!

Oh, well. Time to brew a cup of tea, and flip through Charleston Home’s winter issue. Loving the feature of Lisa Thomas’ home, photographed by Brie Williams. Lisa owns Out of Hand, a charming little shop which is now located in the Old Village area of Mt. Pleasant, SC, but used to be in an old schoolhouse in Beaufort, SC. I loved wandering through that shop during our frequent trips to the Beaufort area to see my in-laws. (I’ve made it to the Mt. Pleasant location once.) It was a nice treat to climb the old steps, and see wreaths, paper goods, gifts, and just take in the surroundings. Lisa’s Beaufort house was featured in a magazine some time back (I want to say Victoria, but I’m just guessing). I’m enjoying the peek into her new space. (I love old houses!) I wouldn’t mind of taste of Charleston weather right now, either …..
See you tomorrow!

Jane, thanks for the kind word! I too loved that old school house and you are right about the Victoria article – as you can see I have this thing about embracing the old and splashing in some new. Wishing you the happiest of holiday and thanks for sharing.
All the best,
lisa
