Describe your perfect day in Memphis.

In a perfect world, crawfish season and football season would overlap, so I could start my day at Max’s Sports Bar with a bunch of boiled crawfish, then head straight to a Tigers game. After that, I’d wrap up the night with dinner and drinks at Huey’s or The Green Beetle—probably with a rooftop pink cocktail somewhere in the mix. That day would be a 10/10!

Beyond the glory of the cup emptied in sweet magnolia fragrances being kept under rose petals and linen groves. She pours apple dumplings early as Spring drops in to be restored.As she is what she does. Soft as gracious lilly laces and heavenly petals.

 

Happy Women's Month 

 

Beautiful lives of glory
