I've been dreaming... of oysters and a knife!

I am dreaming of this incredible handmade oyster knife.






































Chris Williams lives in South Carolina and grew up spending much of his time on the water.  Always looking for functional knife - he started making custom knives. Chris traded his career in investment banking for a small shop and a grinding wheel.

The Edisto Oyster Knife is named for the briny Carolina Lowcountry oysters of Edisto.

I really need this knife.
Cost $250.

Garden and Gun gave Williams Knife Co their 2011 Made in the South Award.

The photographer, Sara Gray (mentioned in post below), put this little video together for the Bride and Groom.

A Wedding Anniversary

One year ago, our oldest daughter was married here at the beach.  We chose to do everything (flowers, food, decor, invites, etc etc) ourselves and the result was a stunning four day event that was affordable and personal. Everyone pitched in and helped.  It was tons of work and provided even more memories.

Over the next week - I will post some of the incredible details.

Here is a wonderful slide show of the professional photos by Sara Gray Photography.  We highly recommend Sara to anyone.
