On Saturday, my parents took me to Charleston, S.C. for my birthday (check out my family name on the street sign above). This was my first visit over there, and I was blown away; it is such a beautiful place. We walked around the market, looked at some other shops, and took a tour. We went with a company called About Charleston. The man who was our tour guide has a background in restoration architecture, and he knew so much all the houses and such. If you feel like being a tourist in Charleston, I would suggest going with them. Side note, the guy who owned the company look a lot like Jerry Garcia, so it was weird hearing someone who looked like that lecturing us on formal gardens and Tiffany glass. I picked up a few ideas while on the trip. The first is that I want to turn the patch in the back yard that has trouble holding onto grass into a more formal type garden. I will post pictures on my progress very soon. I also saw some cute things that I will put my twist on :)
I am thinking that creeping fig and jasmine might be a nice cover for my retaining wall
I was totally nosy when I snapped this pic over someones back fence, but I fell in love with this chandelier hanging outdoors.
This was on a bed and breakfast, the windows are hand blown, and the curve underneath was hand carved.
A curved balcony for your hoop skirt!
A replica of the Arc D' Triomph, same house as the hand blown windows. 
I always thought that texas had the market cornered on stars, guess I was wrong.
