Gardens, antiques & interior design — my kind of girls’ weekend. 🌿 🌳 🪑 🛋️ 

We came to Birmingham for Antiques at the Garden and a weekend full of garden and interior inspiration — and met some wonderful people along the way.

A few favorite moments:

Wandering into landscape designer Troy Rhone’s shop after his antique garden pieces caught my eye, only to realize I already followed and admired his work. He was incredibly gracious and generous with his time and advice.

Finally meeting Stephanie at Clemontine — a fellow lawyer who has also built an incredible antiques shop and travels to Europe monthly to source. Needless to say, we had plenty to talk about.

Laura at Henhouse Antiques inviting us back at 7 a.m. to scope out her European container unload. Obviously we went. And I found vintage horse cufflinks there that are becoming earrings.

Running into Bunny Williams and Elizabeth Lawrence at our hotel — getting to chat with Bunny about landscape design, and telling Elizabeth how much I loved her top and that I have the same one. 😂

And telling Jennifer Gracie that I once borrowed a pickup truck to drive 2 hours to buy three Gracie panels and then had to cut them down to fit my house. I was relieved she wasn’t horrified.

Somewhere in between, a mirror, chairs and antique fern prints also managed to follow me home.

My favorite reminder from the weekend: see it, touch it, sit on it, ask questions and talk to the people. The stories and conversations make the hunt so much better.

And when you find something you really love? Buy it. You’ll find a spot for it.

Already plotting the next girls’ trip. 🌿🤔
