Starkville: Between Main Street and the District

If you have ever lived in Starkville or even visited you would be able to recognize some of these different eateries. Starkville really is an enjoyable and hospitable little town. Over the past four years I have come to learn that it is more than just a college town. I hope you enjoy and see you tomorrow for the Cotton District!

 

Lots of Love, Natalie

 

Starkville: Greensboro Street/Main Street

For the past four years I have lived in the charming little college town known as Starkville, Mississippi home of Mississippi State University. To be honest when I first moved here I was wondering how I would be able to last four years in such a small town but I am proud to say that it has really grown on me. As Friday draws closer I find myself getting a little emotional as I think about graduating and leaving this wonderful town that has become my home. The feeling is bittersweet because I have thoroughly enjoyed spending my undergraduate in this charming little town but I am excited to see where the next chapter in my life takes me as I apply for Medical Schools in various states. Therefore, I have decided to dedicate this week's posts to Starkville, Mississippi and all the different areas and sites it has to offer! I hope you enjoy!

- Various lovely houses of the Historic Greensboro Street located right down from my house -

- Starkville's Historic Main Street -

- Aspen Bay which I have mentioned too many times to count but it truly is my favorite store in Starkville -

Aspen Bay Re-purposed DIY part 2

 Yesterday I showed you the little Succulent garden I made out of one of my old cleaned out Aspen Bay candle vases. Nothing went to waste in this two part DIY because it was all recycled into something new. I have had a lot of used Aspen Bay candles that I had been keeping to eventually clean out and reuse the jars. Well Saturday Jay suggested why not melt down all the old wax and create one new candle in a different container. What can I say he had a brilliant idea and I couldn't wait to get started. I found the concrete planter I used for this project at Target and immediately started melting down all my candles in the oven. I set my oven as low as it would go and once they were melted I poured them into the planter until I had a full new candle. This was an easy and quick DIY leaving me over the moon with the results!
