D*S book signing & Asheville

Libby, Jen and I made the trek to Asheville, NC for the Design*Sponge book signing, and boy, did we have fun.

 Grace was perfectly sweet and a joy to meet.

Her new book, Design*Sponge at Home, is a treasure trove of lovely design and great content.

"Cute!"  proclaims the picture-taking-bystander.

Before the signing, we spent a lovely afternoon wandering around Asheville, making sure to take in some sweets at The Chocolate Lounge...

... and sampling some amazing chips at The Gourmet Chip Company. 

Go there! And get the kettle chips with Belgian dark chocolate and the caramel dipping sauce. Or get the Parisan. Or the Americana. Or anything on the menu, 'cause it's all awesome.

It was a good day.
