Went to Derby party in the neighborhood. Too chilly for a cute dress . . . So I wore my $10 estate sale jacket and a straw boater. Got lots of questions . . . A man I don’t know sidled up and asked what branch of the military I was in. “I was Navy,” he said. Looked him dead in the eye and said “Secret Service.” He wandered away. You could pay $5 to pick the name of a horse to bet on out of a hat. I drew the horse that placed second to last, unfortunately, Mr. MKA drew Great White, the horse who was injured and scratched from the race. But how about Cherie DeVaux—-first woman trainer to win the Kentucky Derby in 152 years!!! Golden Tempo for the win! (Also my friend @sharonstokes5357 here in her grandma’s fur stole had a winning ticket. #kentuckyderbyparty #hatsoff #vintagestyle

The Homeworthy shoot at Ebbtide is in the can and I am in the bed! Just wanna wrap the house in a sani-strip because the joint will never look this stylish again. Here’s a preview of what magic we made. #homeworthy #ebbtidetybeeisland #vintagebeachhouse #coastalgrandmother

Fluffing a house before a photo shoot ain’t for the faint of heart. Worked til collapse last night, up at six this morning. Thank Gawd @claysniderinteriors is here, re-hanging art, setting tables, rearranging furniture and making magic from our messes. And thank Gawd for Toolbelt Tommy, aka Mr. MKA. Stay tuned for the after. . . #homeworthy #ebbtidetybeeisland #beachhousestyle #vintagebeachhouse #goingcoastal
