Welcome to this month’s edition of the wish list! Each month I’m going to try to make a list of things I think any Southerner should enjoy! I hope you can find things that resonate with you!

I think we all know that I love Johnny Cash. This is on my to be read ASAP list! Obviously, music is poetry in sound. This book explores Johnny as a written poet, and everyone should read it! It can be purchased here https://www.amazon.com/dp/0399575138/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_U_x_LsyyCbT23W10H

I absolutely love the Pioneer Woman’s Floral pattern kitchen items! These are currently my absolute favorites. This is a three piece set, and they are perfect for spring garden parties! Just look at those vibrant yellows and reds in the flowers, and the soft blues. I can’t wait to get these for serving scones and tea cakes! They can be found here. https://www.walmart.com/ip/The-Pioneer-Woman-Floral-Medley-3-Piece-Serving-Platters/842952303

There has been a growing movement back to including house plants in home decorating and I just adore hanging planters. This lovely wood basket has such subtle coloring, it will flow in any room. I really like the natural materials of the chains that hold it up. Find your favorite indoor plant and hang it near a window for an elegant accent that will help your home’s air quality. It can be found here. https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/yumi-hanging-basket-planter?color=111&quantity=1&size=ONE%20SIZE&type=REGULAR&utm_campaign=PDP_SHARE&utm_content=2019-01-08&utm_medium=SOCIAL&utm_source=pinterest

Recently I read an article that featured a coastal home, and the owners would use single palmetto fronds as feature flora in their home. Ever since, I have loved images and art that feature the single palmetto frond. This case actually is part of a series, and is so incredibly affordable. It would look great in any living room, or as part of a breezy front porch ensemble. It can be found on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BTTSGF1/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_U_x_c8teCbZKCN8VN

Another new favorite of mine is the use of oyster shells in home decor. Air plants have been a recent favorite and again, the inclusion of plants in your home can help create cleaner air for your family. I just love how dainty these are, and the air plants look beautiful on their oyster shells! These bring a little bit of the coast right into your home. I want one in every room!! SoulFullGrows is an Etsy shop that makes these, as well as air plant terrariums. They are well worth visiting to add plant life to your home. These air plant oysters can be found here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/637554910/louisiana-style-air-plant-oyster

I actually have this book and have already read it. I am telling you now, this is hands down one of the best books I have ever read. If you haven’t picked up a copy, do so now. It is available in hard back, as a Kindle read or via Audible (which I have to try). I am sitting on pins and needles waiting for some producer to snatch this up and make it into the fabulous movie I know it would be. I cried, I laughed, and I will be featuring it in the next few weeks as its own post. So go get your copy right now! https://www.amazon.com/Where-Crawdads-Sing-Delia-Owens/dp/0735219095/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1IE5AM0OACQHV&keywords=where+the+crawdads+sing&qid=1550174529&s=gateway&sprefix=Where+the+crawdads%2Caps%2C423&sr=8-1

I’ve seen the Wander Inn featured a few times from different people now. First was in a magazine, and most recently I found this on the Junk Gypsy page. So you know I am going to have to try this spray that they collaborated on with Junk Gypsy, and learn more about the Wander Inn itself. Vanilla and Sandalwood are two of my favorite scents, so this is sure to be pleasing! It can be purchased here: https://gypsyville.com/what-s-new/wander-inn-body-home-spray.html

As I mentioned earlier, I love Oysters featured in art and home decorations. This beautiful crab was made by TheArcticPines Etsy shop! She makes several other pieces. I love that these add such a pretty, but simple coastal feel in any home.  Find this crab here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/672453721/crab-oyster-crab-southern-decor-oyster
