(Pack your bags and head down south, y'all)
Hi sweetie pies! So we're back to the grind today, huh? Only two work days this week, though, and then I'm leaving for the beach on Thursday! I started packing last night and I know you're thinking 'geeze louise!' Listen, y'all I like to get a head start on packing for any trip. Surely there are others of you out there like me?? Please say yes...
So, I was thinking about what to share with you all today, and it occurred to me that I've never done a post on Southern culture. I mean, my blog's name is southern, for goodness sake! So, I'm hoping this post is going to bring you some southern comfort on this Monday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are some images that come to mind when I think of the south....
Stately plantation homes
Catching fireflies on summer nights
Movies like these
Sweet tea
Click for recipe!
Lovely magnolias
Yummy honeysuckle
Fried apple pies
Click for Paula Deen's recipe!
Southern Living Magazine
Charming southern companies such as Southern Proper
Wearing hats to the races
Southern songbirds
Dirt roads and mailboxes
Front porch swings
Biscuits and gravy
and finally.....
Golden Girls and Designing Women

Makes you feel right at home, doesn't it? I love this place! I enjoy traveling out of the south, but honestly, I always want to come right back. For you southern ladies, what do you think of when you think of the south?
Go over and check out my blogroll, I have a section devoted just to 'southern ladies!'
Before I forget, and since we're all things southern around here today, look what I won yesterday from Miss Janice!! Yes, I won another giveaway- I'm feeling lucky!!
I get to pick the color of my monogram!
Darlin' cookbook
Yummy sauce!
Oh, I can't wait to get my winnings! Thank you again, Miss Janice! You're simply the best!
I'm outta here, y'all! Love to you!

Julie,
I love this post! Can I just say that I've always wanted to be from the south. I used to fake accents as a kid! I just love all the charm and grace that is the South. I am stuck being a California girl, but I can dream, right?

I am in love with every single thing in this post! Movies, Places, flowers, everything. That is truly what kind of life a southerner enjoys!

Congrats on winning! Your Southern-inspired pictures are great. I looove the first plantation home one!
I am born and raised in NJ, but I spent all my best summers in the South. I absolutely love everything about being southern. Oh, I do wish I was born and bred a southern belle.
Have fun at the beach! This post makes me want to visit the south, for I have never. I think I'd probably like much better than up here in NY, I hate the weather! Anyway, cute blog.. love it :)
Have a great time at the beach!
and I love this post, everything is really so southern, and I love it and I love being from the heart of the south!
That is one beautifully southern themed post. I hope you had a blast at the beach! I wish I could still find Designing Women reruns on tv. Le sigh.
I love this post girl!
yes yes yes to sweet tea and biscuits and gravy! two of my favorites!
Oh, this post just SPEAKS to me - from one southern girl to another, you nailed everything right on the head! Aren't we blessed to live in such a wonderful area of the country?! Congrats on your win!
Ok..I LOVE this post. I feel displaced in SoCal and would love to live down South. I would fit in MUCH better.
You are such a fun blogger, girl!
I have never spent a good amount of time in the south and it has always been something I want to do, I love the collaboration of images here.
I have a list of about 10 future blog posts that I haven't started working on. This is one of them. I was going to do one dedicated to all my southern loves. I'll get to it eventually. Thanks for sharing. This was great.
May the South welcome you with open arms!! --> love the blog by the way!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and thank you very much for adding my button to your blog! It is nice to meet you :) Your blog is so cute! I like the pictures on this post. I have not seen much of the south - but you make me want to sit on a porch swing with a glass of sweet tea :)
