My Tribe, My Thanks, My Thomasville Life

Lots to be THANKFUL FOR... and the following was GRAVY
to my Cornbread STUFFING, for sure.  

A Morning Hen Hunt before RETAIL Madness, always works for me.

Briny, COLD, Raw Oysters anytime is amazing, but after a Dove Shoot... WOW.

Fried and Yummy...

Made the last batch of  BASIL GREEN GODDESS dressing for the year out of my garden.

Thanks for a great RETAIL week, as I hope we made lots of folks happy.  Now off to the store, to clean, restock, and ship orders out.  If you can't make it to our Brick and Mortar Store, check us out online, where gift wrapping is always free... 

Thankful, Nan

Holy Catfish

Holy Catfish-  My baby has been neglected.  Sorry, but I am now aware...  It has been crazy busy, but in a good way. SO check back with us on Monday for some FUN news and festivities!  HAPPY FALL Y'ALL! Nan

Running

I have kind of, sort of, started running... I kind of, sort of, LIKE it.  This is a first for sure.  I only like running on a treadmill, with air condition (wuss), with my ipod blaring! SO my question is this?  What SONG makes you just want to run like a wild fire?  Today, I replayed Bruno Mars "You're Amazing..." about 5 times in a row.  I also like Fine Young Cannibals, "She Drives Me Crazy".Suggestions Please.

Don't Cry for ME Argentina!

I'm off to Argentina! No, don't cry for me.  A girl's trip at that, so I look forward to reporting.  I love to travel and I love to come home too, as it renews my soul and my love for my family.  I'll be back soon, Nan

Fishing

I have been fishing a lot lately- Literally and Figuratively.  I have learned that with my business, if you don't "fish" then you are certainly not going to catch anything.  What do I mean by this?  I have been"casting"my lines, in lots of different "waters".  It might be a pitch for an event in my store, and if one of these "bites", then you will be biting something GOOD. It might be taking on a new role like being in charge of PWAF Bird Dog Bash, which promises to be amazing for sure.  It might be spending an entire afternoon with a travel writer, which I did last week, as you might have seen me in your store.  Basically, if you don't cast, then you can't catch!  If you don't like what you "catch" then you can throw it back in, and start over.  I really love fishing and I look forward to doing a lot of it this coming weekend.  This time literally. Have a great week, Nan

I'm looking forward to a lot of fishing this summer...

Happy Monday and I hope y'all had a Happy Momday yesterday! I did, as I did absolutely nothing, except for what I wanted to do. A nap was involved. This week and next will be busy at the store, as we wind down the school year.  We sell lots of gift certificates for teachers this time of year, which they love by the way.  Also, personally it is busy on the home front, with the boy's end of the year school activities, baseball play-offs, and getting ready for camp.  Usually Summer at the Firefly slows down a clip, which is nice... It is a time of reflection, planning, and tackling projects that we don't have time for the rest of the year.  I am really excited about what is in the "works" currently.  I have made two great additions to Firefly in the last couple of weeks. One that you will visibly see is Mary Cameron.  She is a recent grad, in jewelry design from SCAD.  I knew the minute I saw a bracelet that she had made- a BACON cuff, that we were a good fit.  It was confirmed Sunday morning, when I went to retrieve my local eggs from the fridge at Firefly, and she had "DONE" the window, that I beamed with delight!  The second addition, is a behind the scenes GUY, that I am equally loving.  He is bridging all of my social media together and setting up a newsletter, that I hope y'all will ALL join as soon as it is ready!  Spring at Firefly was great for us, so I hope SUMMER will be more of the same, and I thank you, the customer, for coming in time and time again.  Have a great week, Nan

Friday at Firefly

Darling stationary that has been added to our website, under Southern Sampler.

Hello Everybody!  I hope everyone is feeling a little Spring in their step.  I know I am, as we have been wearing out our Front Porch with neighbors, children running rampant, and late night conversations. Our windows are flung open in the evenings and our cat, Radley loves hopping in and out, and making lots of "biscuits" in our bed.  Purrfect.  The store has had a great turn out in the trunk show(TWO MORE DAYS), especially in the little girl's clothing, as it really is super sweet. OUR jewelry SALE is going well too!  As promised, we are adding to it everyday, so stop by often.  Go HERE to see extensive photographs of THE Thomasville Wedding that is currently featured in Garden and Gun, and the OFFICIAL  stamp for my "styling" business, whether it be a dinner party, your house, store, WEDDING, birthday party! I am eager to design and execute all the details.   We have lots of fun projects in the works, that I can't wait to share with you.  WAHOO! Have a great weekend, Nan
