So, we did make it to the Southern Home Show on Sunday, and walked through all three buildings of vendors.  My mom had gotten 4 tickets to get in free from one of the vendors which was super nice of them, and we enjoyed walking around and talking to vendors we needed home renovation info from.

I especially liked two of the outdoor showcases, one of which (below) was a cute little cottage with well manicured, but temporary foliage and greenery.
