World-class artists, designers, and musicians—many of them from right here—are creating things that would wow anyone, anywhere.

My latest blog started as a reflection while I was driving from Birmingham to Florence… and basically turned into a love letter to the version of Alabama most people never see (or expect).

I couldn’t believe the stellar lineup of speakers I had the honor of being in the room with…people like Windy Chien (artist and author of The Year of Knots), The Kitchen Sisters (renowned NPR documentarians), and many many more. 

Plus, being around Alabama Chanin’s insane talent ALWAYS inspires me in meaningful ways. 

Hi, it’s me Lucy, and I’m here to remind you in simple fashion that you do NOT have to overthink the perfect Christmas gifts for anyone on your list ✨

Trust me – I know it’s tempting to think something’s not “good enough”...or to kick yourself for not grabbing that item you saw back in July that would be perfect for your Mother-in-law.
