As if we didn’t have enough on our plate, we made the potentially crazy and extraordinarily exciting decision in June to purchase our first home together. We are under contract on a townhouse in the Wesley Heights neighborhood of Charlotte’s West End scheduled to be completed in December 2020. In addition to gift options on our registry, we are including a cash fund for friends and family to contribute to in order to provide us with the monetary flexibility to add the final flourishes to our first home. We plan to purchase furniture for our beautiful rooftop patio, lighting fixtures for our living spaces, and décor. Below are some renderings of the townhouse along with some recent construction updates for you to share in our excitement. We hope to have you all over sometime soon. With love, Scott & Maria

Sterling McDavid founded The Starling Project in 2015 with the simple idea of creating candles that give back and would engage people in a tangible way to help support solar energy for those in need. The idea is light for light. The hope is that each Starling Project customer will enjoy a quality candle while simultaneously knowing that he or she is helping someone in need. In its short life span, The Starling Project has proudly given over $200,000 to UNICEF for life-saving solar projects in Rwanda and Chad.

The current flatware game at our home is very, very sad.

So... Rambo has completely destroyed the blanket on our bed. We are in need of a new one. He likes fluffy blankets (and so do we!). Plus, faux fur blankets are much harder for him to destroy in comparison to the cotton blanket we currently have on our bed.
