Libby & Puddins is an online boutique that boasts “All Bitsy Apparel” and “Mommy Musts.” The brainchild of sisters Laura Jones Barnette and Lizzie Jones, it offers adorable clothing for the “bitsy set” that includes everything from bubbles and onesies to outerwear and dresses. Brands include Angel Dear, Cheeni, Ishtex, Mary Mary, Petit Ami and Yo Baby, among others. The Mommy Musts feature jewelry from McClain-Made, Laura’s jewelry line, with more in store in the future.
These two gals are well aware of the cutest and most desirable baby garb, learning about it first hand from their sister, Allie Jones Hall, who is the mother of three. They’d schemed for years about going into business together.
Life With Ferris: Dr. John McSpadden, A Brilliant And Humble Man Monday, December 14, 2020 - by Ferris Robinson
Dr. John McSpadden receiving an award
I was shocked to realize Dr. John McSpadden died last week.
He lived behind my new house with his lovely wife, Jane. I have no sense of direction so the first time I ventured down the path through the woods, I had no idea whose magical woodland garden I had stumbled upon. It looked like something you would read about in a fairytale, with a wooden bridge over a babbling brook and oak leaf hydrangeas dripping with massive white blooms and masses of lilies and native rhododendron and azalea and natural boulders. Truly, it felt like the enchanting setting had been created just for me; my viewpoint from a hill in the woods was perfect for taking it all in.
