Amanda Matthews is a calligrapher who had been living in San Antonio for seven years, but was now ready to move back home to Mississippi. "This is my place," she said of her hometown. "I'm very ready to come back. Something about this season in my life just said 'It's time to go home.'" She was looking for a vintage home with sizeable living space, lots of light, room for a studio and — perhaps most importantly — a really nice front porch.
