                                         So… Meet, the Girls.

Hi, y’all! We’re Becky and Ginger! We met in October of 2006, working in Jacksonville, Florida. Over countless lunches at the Garden Shed Café, behind our office, we quickly discovered a mutual love for all things Southern.

Ginger. Family. Books. Summer. The color red. Cloth napkins. Chocolate-covered raspberries. Vogue magazine. Coffee. Fresh flowers. Chandeliers. Sunglasses. Carnations. Children’s toys. High heels. Bagels. Church services. Sparklers. Polaroids. Guest books. Palm trees. Opera. Ash trays. Art deco. Salty food. Dessert. Hotel rooms. Shopping bags. Moss. Magic.

Becky. Hand written notes. New music. Fresh bread. Outdoor cocktails on sunny afternoons. Tears at church. Mom’s piano playing. Dinner parties. A White Christmas. Scarves. Day dreaming. Olives. Bangles. Opening night at the movies. Anything the color green. Art Museums. Quotes that change your life. Indian food. Red toe nail polish. New city navigation. Doris Day. Dressing up. Ribbon. Wedding toasts. Black and white photos. Wellies. Accents. Blue Ridge parkway.

Well, I guess it started way before all this.

Tidbits about Becky:

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, where my father is a chef, and my mother is a music minister at church, my life is a mélange of their loves and also integrally affected by living in the south. I have been blessed to travel and study abroad but lucky enough to realize the south is a little piece of heaven.

Don’t fret, I do not subscribe to any theories of the south seceding from the good old US of A, but I am partial to sweet tea, grits, roadside stands, Sunday school, winding porches and rocking chairs.

There is something so soothing about seeing the sun rise over the mountains, or fog roll in over the pasture and even when you think the humidity and mosquitoes will run you ragged, the ocean’s breeze reminds you to be thankful and love each day while the ‘gettins good.’”

Tidbits about Ginger:

It’s Ginger here now! I was born and raised in the South. That’s the only way to put it. I came into the world and spent much of my time growing up (summers, every weekend we could spare…) in Lexington, Kentucky. That’s home to me. I love the blue grass, the rows and rows of beautiful fences surrounding pastures of thoroughbred horses grazing, and especially visiting my parents in their old, historic home in the heart of downtown. But growing up, my family soon moved to Nashville, Tennessee and then later to Birmingham, Alabama. I’ve also lived in Southaven, Mississippi; Memphis, Tennessee; and Jackson, Tennessee. Whew! So, as you see, I’m a southern girl through and through. And from all these different areas, enjoyable customs, loyal friends, and definitely a close-knit family.

About two years ago, my husband and I headed down to Jacksonville, Florida, on our honeymoon, stopping in Birmingham, Atlanta, and Savannah along the way. We moved down here for Matthew to be commissioned as an officer into the United States Navy. I’ve fallen in love with living 3 miles from the beach, live oak trees, and the laid-back lifestyle that Florida offers.

We have become dear friends, both at work, and around the town. We both love to spend an early summer evening sitting at a wrought-iron table at the Lemon Bar, or heading to the theatre to watch a good foreign film, and especially making each other come by respective desks each day to check out the other’s outfit!
