That Seger nod is for Allison.  We didn’t even get our bags unpacked from NYC and we were off again.  We went to Memphis to do what we do.  We narrowly escaped a plane crash on the way up, but thankfully it wasn’t our time.  Which is good because look what we would have missed if we hadn’t made it…

We had nothing to do with the design of this garden path full of hydrangeas, but good grief!  Too pretty not to share.  We also had nothing to do with the door hardware below, but again… so gorgeous.  The whole house locks with skeleton keys. Delicious.  I should have photographed the cremone locks, I must have been too shocked by their beauty to get my camera up to my eyeball.

Allison and I shared a hotel room (with two beds) and in the middle of the night Allison awoke.  From the low light of the alarm clock on the bedside table between us I could see her sitting up in her bed.  She was talking to herself.  She was saying… “I really prefer the scale of the white table.  The finish, the size, the style, it is just perfect for that space!”,  I must have asked her ten times what she was talking about, she finally looked at me and said “YOU ASKED ME!”, sighed, laid down and went back to sleep.  Perhaps a mental health day is in order?

I like Memphis.  We ate dinner with old college friends of mine which is always fun.  In addition to working on a new project, we also checked in on an older one.

Allison came home from Memphis and I went on to Chicago.  Most of my “favorite people” are in Chicago.  Including my pint-sized godson who I had not yet met.  I was going to try to wrap that trip into this Memphis post, but that’s too much.  So, here are a few photos…
