an autumn girls weekend

in lovely greenville, south carolina 

a little halloween home decor at the monaco chateau 

 carolina girls with midwestern souls 

renee is one of my very dearest friends

so close that if i didn’t have a sister, she would have been my maid of honor 

i just love, love her to pieces. 

she is a sister to me 

and to my sister.

we spent the weekend laughing until we cried 

staying up until 4am talking in bed- like high school all over again.

there’s nothing not to love about her

i thank God all the time for allowing me to grow up with such a sweet person 

and to also allow me to spend my adult life so close to her- we live less than two hours away from one another- so thankful for this gift. 

this little treat {bottom right} was waiting for me – all of my favorite things!

 do you think she knows that i love peanut butter and trader joe’s?  

the treats were in a cute halloween bowl with fresh homemade soap- too cute for words.

…

we spent friday night enjoying warm red wine with cinnamon sticks – known as gluhwein

a german tradition that i fell in love with while living abroad

{i will be posting a great recipe soon- perfect for holiday parties- or on a chilly evening in}

along with sweet potato chill, cider beer, and nachos

…

we woke up saturday morning to snow 

and enjoyed coffee with homemade coconut creamer 

while continuing to laugh and chat- pretty sure there is nothing better for the soul

 than friends, laughing and coffee

saturday morning we ventured about ten minutes away to a cute little town called 

traveler’s rest, south carolina

it is surrounded by the mountains and is oh-so-adorable

this crepe place is in my top ten of all time

both for taste and for cuteness 

my salted caramel latte was my favorite of all time- without a doubt. 

i savored every sip.

their website alone is ADORABLE – tandem

the crepes were so incredible. 

followed by a few fun breweries…

and a boutique…

it has been absolutely incredible getting to know this lovely lady over the past six years 

going to greenville is always a way for me to be surrounded by people that i LOVE.

it was simply perfect. 

i loved every second with these amazing gals

love you all 

thank you for all the laughs. 

next stop- charlotte, north carolina this winter.
