Hi, I'm Joanna Keel-your resident homebody! I first formed “Hostess Jo” in early 2008 as an online store selling items for home entertaining. I found a passion for blogging through its partner site, Let's Entertain. Since then, I’ve evolved from entertaining to my first love-home decor and styling! Please join me now at Southern Surroundings!
I hope to bring you inspiration and ideas to help make your home your favorite place to be!
