This weekend I had some downtime so I read a few of my old Southern Accents (RIP).  Mr. Postman brought me the new November issue of Southern Living on Friday, so it got mixed in with my reading pile.  I have to say, I am really impressed with the latest issues.  I'll chalk it up to the new editor, Lindsay Bierman.  Apparently, Bierman was editor for both Coastal Living and Southern Accents (two of my favs)!

I really enjoyed the article "Made by Southern Hands:  Hostess Gifts."

How great do the sandies from Virginia look?

and these chocolates from Gearhart Chocolates in Charlottesville, VA.  I would love to find these in my stocking!  Maybe I'll just gift them to T and I'll eat his leftovers.

and the article "5 Ways With Mulling Spices."

So, that being said, I take it back...Southern Living has become a good read.  Kudos to Mr. Bierman.  Can't wait till the Christmas issue.  I still miss my Southern Accents :(  Most Southern women I know already subscribe to Southern Living, but if by chance you don't, then I'd suggest picking one up!
