One Fish Two Fish: Little Shop of Beauty

I've already written all about out short weekend trip to Savannah, but what I didn't get to do is tell you about an amazing shop we visited in the Design District.  Name: One Fish Two Fish.  Already love it?  I did too, even before I walked in! Location ~ 0401 Whitaker Street (Whitaker Street between Charlton lane and Gaston). You'll walk into this little shop of beauty and fall in love with the some-new and some-antique treasures collected by owner, Jennifer Beaufait Grayson.

I wanted EVERYTHING in this store.  Luckily (or perhaps unluckily) my husband was with me, and he's always my sane side while shopping. I did happen to snatch up the name of the wall color in the rear room ~ "Sterling" by Benjamin Moore.  I've been looking for the perfect shade of gray for my craft room and perhaps I've found it : ) 

I couldn't step out of that store without scoring at least ONE treasure.  My excuse for the purchase: It's for my husband's birthday.  Really!! I'm serious!!  Well, let me show you what I bought and then I'll explain.

I loved it! We actually both picked it up and thumbed through it, thinking it was a novel concept.  It has no years printed inside, so you can choose to begin or end anywhere you want and in any year you want.  Each entry space has just enough room for a one-liner.  Just a thought or a comment.  Not as much commitment as a journal.  Anyway, he loved it....I loved it....SOLD! And now I have this adorable bag as a souvenir. 

Beautiful weekend in Savannah!

As I'm typing this post, I'm sipping on a mocha frappe in savannah, GA enjoying gorgeous 72 degree weather with my husband. What a weekend! We love our last minute, out of town, mini vacations. They aren't as frequent as they used to be which makes them all the more exciting.
Yesterday was spent walking down the waterfront and popping in and out of quaint gift shops and candy stores. One of our favorites was the Savannah's Candy Ktchen. It seemed vaguely familiar as we perused its goodies. When we purchased our pralines and chocolate dipped smores (yum), we realized by the markings on the box that there is also a Candy Kitchen in Charleston (one of our most frequented vacation spots). Both of their shops are almost identical. They are the old fashioned kind of shops with big barrels of candy and tubs homemade ice cream. You can watch the chocolate treats and taffy being made right before your eyes!
We ended our afternoon with lunch at a hole-in-the-wall, seaside grill with an ocean view. I had to order the quintessential fish and chips while Matthew went for the buffalo wings.
Today is our last day in town and our last chance to experience Savannah's southern charm. So we're sitting on a bench in Forsyth Park in front of a beautiful fountain, watching all the people walk by, and soaking up the sun's rays. A perfect ending to a relaxing weekend. In a few minutes we'll hop in the car and hit the road for home. But for now I'll just enjoy these last few moments of perfection with my Darling.
