Merry Christmas to all our CCD friends! May yours be glittery, bright, blessed, and unabashedly Southern! (oh, and filled with cookies as pretty as ziss.)

What a Country Girl Wants

I am a self-professed country girl. I grew up in Virginia in a very small town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

And in my next life I plan to get back to my roots.

Maybe I’ll live on a farm and raise apples. Cliche? Yes. Do I care? No.

So you can imagine how happy I was to find that Vogue dedicated part of their gift guide to the “Country Girl.”

I’ll take the thistle wreath, assorted mature fruit trees, and that powder-blue, cast-iron table, pretty please. Thanks, Santa!
