When Marcella Ridley, cofounder of Winston’s Wish, emailed to ask if I would model an outfit for the Facebook page for Sprummer, their annual fundraiser, I was flattered and willing. The organization has an enviable energy behind it’s grassroots efforts and they know how to have a good time while they’re at it! Winston’s Wish [...]

Giving objects such as this globe bar stand unintended uses adds a little smile to the day, don’t you think? The subject of the profile is Leigh Lezark, the model and DJ [...]

Knowing that the month of April was going to be unusually busy (hello, understatement!), I asked a very talented young writer to do a couple of guest posts for Camille this week.  I don’t know how he had time to do it, but those who have worked with Mikelle Street know that he is capable [...]

Sparse posts, mentions of mysterious projects, travel… there’s been a bit going on! Perhaps we should catch up before I go on with any other posts, no?

Poking my head out from underneath my covers for a moment, here. We just returned from a brief trip to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where we attended the Gabriel House of Care Island Festival. Mr. M serves on the board of this wonderful organization that provides low-cost housing, hope and healing for organ transplant and [...]

Hi All! I’ve been buried under projects this past week and keep sending looks of longing in CamilleMaurice’s direction. Oh, to blog again! Don’t worry, I’ll be on top of things once more very soon. With assignments, a crazy month of events relating to a board on which I serve and an editing project (more [...]

  Yes, there is such a thing as a gardening celebrity… and Jenks Farmer is just that in our parts.  I had the pleasure of speaking with him while on assignment for Columbia Metropolitan Magazine a few months ago and was thrilled to hear that he was working with Hay Hill Services on their new [...]
