Granny Chic

My grandmother is probably my favorite person on Earth. After summers living with her at the shore in her converted carriage house, a three week tour of Europe together when I was 14 and countless other adventures, I can safely say, any talent I have in life is derived from something she taught me.

We still spend a ton of time together, shopping in the D&D and rummaging through her vintage couture. I even wore her vintage Chanel gown at my wedding!

This memorial day, we are having another BBQ at her awe inspiring summer home…. It has  wood panelling, stone floors and stained glass windows that date back from the 16th century. She truly is my inspiration!

      She is so amazing!!!! I wish I had better pictures of her house! I told her today, I just have one complaint about the house, all of those dried flowers! She agreed, so I think she is going to take them all down.

So here are my thoughts on the idea of "copying" each other... If I post a photo from Domino, Elle Decor or anything else like that - unless I dug it up from 100 years ago or something- no need to source back to me! BUT if I post my house, my grandma's house, my friends house... you can and should leave a link! Cool?
