Dr. Seuss once said, “You never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” What stunning and poignant words. I’m trying desperately to catch each one and hold on to it just long enough for an imprint to stay behind. And to grasp all of the beautiful and the wretched like old spring break polaroids in my head. There’s been so much life swirling  inside this living of mine, and all I’ve been begging of myself is to take the time to write it down and remember. For too long. So here goes! 

Some long sentiments, some short. Some light, some dark. Some weightless as a feather and some heavy as a wrecking ball.  I’d like to preserve it all in this form. And look back on it. And show these babies. And tell a few stories. Maybe my mama will be the only reader, but my hope is that you can find something here that stirs a little something in your head and your heart, with a splash of solace and a dollop of joy on the side…

Thank you for being here!

Holly Williams is an acclaimed  singer/songwriter, serial house renovator, retail entrepreneur, and lover of the South. She and her artist/musician husband, Chris Coleman (check out his incredible art HERE), share three children—Stella June (6), Lillie Mae (5), and Arlo (4). Holly has released three critically-acclaimed albums, and also owns two of Nashville’s best retail spots: H. Audrey and White’s Mercantile (with the latter boasting 5 locations, including 3 in Tennessee!). 

Both stores show off Holly’s “exquisite taste,” according to gal-pal and shopper Gwyneth Paltrow. One, H.Audrey, is arguably Nashville’s most beloved women’s clothing boutique, and the other, White’s Mercantile, is a completely curated shop stocked with all of the favorites that Holly has found while spending much of her life on the highway, playing music to adoring fans. She describes White’s as a “general store for the modern-day tastemaker.” She may be from a famous family–country legend Hank Williams Jr. is her father–but don’t expect rhinestones and cowboy hats from Holly. Her style embodies a modern-day chic simplicity fitted for shoppers around the globe.
