Amen to #12! I'm SO happy to be wearing white jeans again! Although, I did purchase some white shorts this weekend, as it is already almost too hot to wear any kind of pants in Charleston.

Good luck on your showing- I hope it sells quickly!

How fun! I'm a diamond and white jeans girls too. And what's the joke about your brother's shoes? Maybe the boxes are shaped like ice cubes - cold feet?

Your house is beautiful, I'm sure it will sell quickly! :)
