signs of the times :(

"At Home," my absolute favorite store in downtown Savannah, is going out of business.

I am so sad.

~

This was a feel good store......

a place that captured the essence of who I am in its trinkets and vintage merchandise.

Many of the things sitting around my house came from this store.

~

Liz, the owner, had become a friend. She would always drop what she was doing to chat with me. She is a SCAD graduate.....a supremely talented and creative person. Erika and I visited her home back in the summer during the SCAD tour of homes......amazing!

~

She has had the store for ten years. She told me yesterday that she had nine good years.

The slowed economy hit her hard in 2009.

~

Liz is the "shopgirl" I always dreamed about being.

She is brilliant and will succeed in her event and wedding planning business.

I've seen some of her work and it is spectacular.

~

Downtown will never be the same though.

Thanks Liz for a great ten years.
