Mother's Day Gift Ideas and Me on TV

Y'all, Mother's Day is upon us. And if there is anything I love, it's a Mother or a Mimi!

Here are couple quick suggestions for last minute Mother's Day gifts that any mother is sure to love.

My book! A Time to Cook

Also, recently I was asked to be a part of a gift guide for a wonderful jewelry company, Ex Voto.

Below are my three picks. All pieces are made in the USA in their Montgomery studio-showroom and a portion of every sale goes to fund pediatric brain cancer research. 

I could see Mama or Mimi in this....

My sister, Maggie, a new mother, in this...

And my friend, SB, in these ear bobs. Her kids love owls and she is a former Chi Omega. Can I get a hootie hoot?!

Also, don't forget about the Farmer and his TV appearances this week! Today (Tuesday) I'm on Good Day Atlanta and Thursday I will be chatting it up with Hoda and Kathie Lee on TODAY. I can't wait to fill them in on all things Charleston and window boxes!

Set your DVR.

The Farmer on TODAY

Alright folks... This Farmer is thrilled beyond measure to announce a fun television appearance coming this week. Do any of y'all watch Kathie Lee and Hoda on the TODAY Show? Well, if y'all do, then you'll see yours truly with those gals this Thursday, live from Charleston, South Carolina!

As an editor-at-large with Southern Living, I am going to teach KLG and Hoda how to plant classic, Charleston-style window boxes that we at the magazine have written about. From the classic planting schemes, to a twist on tradition, to a box filled with mint to make your own juleps, I cannot wait to teach Kathie Lee and Hoda some fun Southern-style and Farmer-style garden living!

So y'all tune in this Thursday to catch me on TODAY! Yet, even before then, watch me Tuesday on Good Day Atlanta and get inspired for a Mother's Day tableau! See y'all soon!

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Easter, a re-post

originally posted 3/30/2012

With Easter right around the corner, this Farmer could hardly resist paring some grocery grandeur with garden glam and set this table. I had a writer for of our local newspapers coming for a lunch interview, so I wanted to set a springy tableaux – it can’t get much springier than Easter!
