Winter

Blue Eyed Yonder's Weathered Beach Chair, Images by Rylee Hitchner

It’s funny, you’d think since we are still in the beginning of January we’d be bundled up in scarves and boots. Here in Atlanta I’m blogging in a tank top and this weekend is suppose to be near 70-degrees! That’s one thing you have to get used to if you’re gonna live in the South – weird weather.

You’d think as a Southerner I’d long for warm weather, but I actually like the cold. Maybe it’s because I’m such a huge fan of warm fires and cozy socks and happen to own more than my fair share of scarves. How can you blame me? When you run a vintage rental business it’s actually nice to not break a sweat once in a while.

That’s why I love these wintery images by the amazing Rylee Hitchner. They’re from a recent shoot we recently did with Ginny Au of Bits and Bobs for Once Wed. You see, most people rush away to the lake or to the beach when summertime rolls around, but there’s something extra special about these places in the winter. The solitude. The peacefulness. The sun shining deep into your sweater, allowing each fiber to come alive and wrap you in warmth.

I loved how they used our Weathered Beach Chair to evoke the feeling of a modern day Hemmingway. So soft, so romantic. Kind of makes me want to plan a weekend getaway. How ’bout you?

I’m so excited you’re blogging again As much as I love warm weather, I do like a few months of relief with cooler temps. I think the variety of seasons is one thing that makes the south so special!
