I had a wonderful time in Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington and Jacksonville.
I took so many photos, and an entire video tape full of footage.
One of the unexpected highlights of the trip was when we came upon a billboard that read "2008 HGTV Green Home - Next Exit". Poor Mom didn't know about my intense fascination with the 2008 Green Home, but she quickly became fully aware. I'm not sure if it was the hyperventilating that gave it away, or the rate of speed at which words were flying out of my mouth, but I think it was pretty clear that this was a very special moment for me. :-)
I took several other photos of the property, and will share them here tomorrow. Til then, it's off to beddy-by for this one. It's late, and I can barely keep my eyes open. Zzzzzzzzzzz......................

First to comment! That never happens....can't wait to see your pics. I am sure they are amazing and inspiring as always.
Welcome Home! I can't wait to see all the photos and hear all about the wonderful times you had.
Great to have you back Layla, can't wait to see your photos~
How cool! Glad you had a great vacation, can't wait to see all your pics!
Nighty night!
Hey, nice house! I've been meaning to say, I'm actually glad you didn't go on Design Star this year, because really, I think you're beyond it! Who needs all that cattiness? I think you should just work on having your own show, if you want to be on TV. You can do it! Wendy xx
Aren't you the lucky duck? I am so jealous. Welcome back to blogville. You were missed!
xo,

Can't wait to see more! Hard to believe this home is only a year old? The shrubs are huge! Does anyone live there now? Looks like they need to do some yard work!
can't wait to see those photos..^_^
Oooh, I can't wait to see more :D
Can't wait to see!!!
Welcome back! Xoxo-BLC
Welcome back Layla! My hubby and I took a trip to Savannah and Charleston last year....love those places! I think I know where you were when you saw the HGTV green home sign, I believe we saw it on our way from Savannah to Charleston (?).
Can't wait to see the pics...
Judy (your "neighbor" in Montgomery)
Get some needed rest, looking forward to your next post!
Ooo I can't wait to see your pics! I adore Savannah!
Ohhhh I cant wait till you share more!!!
I am SOOOOO jealous! I fell in love with last year's Green Home, and would love to have seen this!! Glad you had a great trip, can't wait to hear more about it! :)
I'm sure I read on another blog that the winner of the house couldn't afford the property taxes that came with the house and so the show is buying it back so that the winner isn't saddled with a huge debt. Quite sad really.
I never saw the 2008 version, just this year's - I think this looks like a goldmine! Can't wait to see your pics - Welcome back!
So excited to see!
Savannah, I love Savannah!
One of my fav in the world, and I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

My goodness, makes me want to move east and get a cottage.
Glad that you are back. Don't you just love Wilmington? I hope you had a chance to visit downtown, it's so beautiful! We are between Wilmington and Jacksonville so you probably went right through my town :)
How awesome to see it up close! I love the roof and the fabulous color!! Sounds like you had a great time!!
Glad you're back. I missed your posts! I have never been to Savannah or Charlston, so, I can't wait to see all the photos and hear about your travel adventures.
I loved the 2008 Green House - it looked so charming on the video tours.
We will be going to Savannah/ Beaufort/Charleston at the end of October for the home tour season. I am looking forward to touring the Southern Living magazine house in Beaufort - they are giving away one of four houses - winner's choice. Tours run thru Oct.
Maybe we'll see the sign and get to stop by this house too!
You've been sorely missed! Welcome back! Can't wait to see the upcoming posts! I've only been to N/C once. Would love to tour that whole area now!
Thanks for the inspiration!
ps. check out my friend, Janice's, re-done scraproom using mostly repurposed findings. your half-note cottage posts inspired us.
