Keys To The City: Nashville, Antiques and Garden Show...and Tell
Upon arrival, our first stop was Le Sel, the site of our “Love or Lose” gift exchange party. The abstract designs painted by Alic Daniel made for the perfect, dreamy backdrop. With many eclectic and unique gifts to choose or lose, every guest went home a winner! Especially April Tomlin, who won the brass antelope trinket dish, a hot commodity that evening.

The Nashville Antiques and Garden Show is the longest-running and largest show of its kind–boasting over 150 antique, art, and horticulture vendors. This wall of flowers at the opening party was open to guests, encouraged to take home something beautiful.
This Portuguese dresser stopped us in our tracks. Circa 1800s!
From the celebrity estate of Jane Fonda came this set of sterling Taxco Mexican mid-century flatware. Can you imagine the people on her guest lists that might have used them?
We couldn’t get enough of these coasters made from Turkish kilim rugs. They were perfectly sized to carry back home with us as a souvenir from our trip.
They said we couldn’t leave Nashville without paying a visit to Hattie B’s hot chicken. They were right–our stomachs were full, our mouths were on fire.
