Alabama Studio Style
If I had all the money in the world, I'd book a spot for my mom and myself at the next Alabama Studio Style Weekend Workshop for her birthday on July 25th. These pics from HodgePodge Farm have
almost *almost* got me considering moving back to Birmingham. The workshop is run by Natalie Chanin of Project Alabama/Alabama Chanin in Florence, AL. I think she is a fascinating person and have great admiration for her business and lifestyle. (Turns out she has a blog too!)

Photos from HodgePodge Farm. Read about her experience at the workshop here and here.

She is very wonderful - I met her when she came to talk at my university. She also went there - North Carolina State.

I just bought Natalie Chanin's book! I haven't had a chance to really pour into it but it makes me so very happy to even flip through the pages...

Joi: Yeah, I definitely need to pick up her book. Seeing these pics reminded me of that.
Katelyn: There are definitely some perks to Bama living. Very temperate climate, low low cost of living...
