I’m a Biscuiteer

Marion, AL? Reverie? Never heard of it? Nor had I. Enter renowned chef and cookbook author Scott Peacock. I use the term enter because I entered into this experience thinking I was going to make biscuit. However, I feel as if I was a cast member of a theatre piece worthy of a run on…

City Life

South Main can be very lively. However, it’s not New York City or Hong Kong. We’ve lived in those cities and comparably South Main is a very quiet urban habitat. I opened Signature Designs here in 2001 and we moved in the loft in 2002. We’ve seen a lot of residents and businesses come and…

09.25.1959

Now, where were we? It seems it’s been birth month starting with a FABULOUS dinner by Kirk Whiteside in Helena, AR. Well, actually…I suppose it started 63 years ago with Quindel and Fay.

The encouragement of our sweet Cousin Susan led me to join a Jazzercise Studio. It was a 35 minute drive…

Details on the Details

My Favorite Decor…2021

2021 helped ease the discomfort of a year I won’t mention. Multiple opportunities and events occurred allowing a break from quarantine. The vaccine gave me the opportunity to cautiously meet clients and even hugged someone other than Brandt…tears of joy. I was honored to be called upon to bring TimMagic to clients…old and new. Thus……

Spring affords the opportunity for new growth. As the trees bud, the grass sprigs, the birds build nests and we humans look forward…
