You know the feeling, a little pick-up of your heart beat as you near the destination. Elizabeth Stuart Faith, “Muffie”, is the energy and talent behind Elizabeth Stuart Design. Visiting this store reveals that a discerning eye with an affection for color and texture is at work. One of the things I noticed right away is the impeccable pairing of accent pillows with upholstery.

I returned home from Charleston Saturday night with my trusty camera full of great pics only to discover that Blogger had flagged my blog as a potential spam blog and blocked access to it. I guess the automated classifier program somehow indicated my blog was a risk. Fortunately they have a process that allows your case to be reviewed - thus my release!(thank you Blogger) One lesson learned though - if your blog is blocked and you don't request a review within 20 days it will be deleted. So if you're leaving on a 20 plus day vacation be sure to check on your blog.
