Alexandra

I just got home from historic Charleston, SC.  What an amazing city - the history and architecture is one-of-a-kind!  
I was able to go with my Mom, Grandmother and two wonderful aunts.  
I was amazed by how kind and gracious everyone was... they weren't kidding when it comes to Southern hospitality!  
We happened to come across one of the most beautiful stores I have ever seen called Alexandra AD.  The store was full of period buffets, guilded wood objects, and swedish, French and Italian antiques!
Every piece was breathtaking and to top it off - the owners were so kind and gracious!
If you ever go to Charleston - you must stop by this breathtaking antique store!

These images do not do the store justice!
When I happened upon the store - my camera's batteries were not charged... stink!
So if you're in need of a fabulous heirloom piece - call or stop by this unbelievable store!!
