Unless you’ve been living under an ugly gray scaly rock this past year, you know that blue and white, as a throw-back color combo focal point, is the most important element of interior style these days.
Ticking, ikat, traditional china patterns, modernly-incorporated geometric fabrics… they’re being whored out like a bottle of Southern Comfort at a high school party.
AND speaking of the South, we must give credit where credit is due. No one can do blue and white like a classy Southern woman, and Mamma Sally has been classin’ it up blue and white style since the 70′s.
PS – do yourself a favor and reward your mouth with the most delicious apperitivo ever. Whole Wheat Cracker + Rolling Stone Chevre (Goats Cheese) + fresh sliced figs + fresh basil leaf. Consume. Repeat. You’ll thank me for it.
Even my little boop boop Tenzing Norgai knows whats up.

You don’t have to say it twice….Blue and White runs deep in these here woods….The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…Like great grand mamma, grand mamma and mamma- not to mention a few aunts along the way….
