A Vanderbilt Special on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 5 Comments/ 496

It seems like I have devoted quite a few posts recently to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Living under an hour away has allowed us to enjoy many aspects of our passholders membership over the years. It is well worth the yearly fee Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography, Travel/ 7 Comments/ 943

One of the best things about being a Biltmore passholder is the ability to pop over to the estate any time we want to. We did just that this past weekend to view the special exhibit that is in the Conservancy through September 29th. I Continue reading →

I Am a Limited Edition

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 13 Comments/ 472

A limited edition… That phrase gave me a little pause when I saw it in some of my scrapbooking papers. The more I thought about it the more I loved it. We are ALL limited editions. I thought I knew what “limited” meant but as Continue reading →
