So what is "tabby"?

Tabby~ a cement made of lime, sand or gravel, and oyster shells, mixed with salt water and used chiefly along the coast of South Carolina and Georgia in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Why design & tabby?
To me, tabby represents all the best things, in design & in a life done well.

Tabby is sturdy, beautiful, rustic, sharp, elegant, historical, from nature, from the sea, resourceful, sustainable , renewable

I love it. I love the look, I love the feel, I love the story.
This is my inspiration.
