I'm an absolute sucker for a good bell jar or glass dome display. There is just such a plethora of options for how to fill them, how to use them to the best advantage in your decor. Display a treasured faerie treasure...a sculpture perhaps? The two below are stunning examples by the incredible artist Nenufar Blanco. Create a whole miniature world inside a dome. These two examples are from Life in a Bell Jar. An endless amount of possibilities... The containers themselves can sometimes be the art: After all...there's no precedent for bell jars in fairy tales. No, none at all....

Y'all are probably sick of me talking about how amazing Charleston is. Sorry, not sorry. It is seriously the most perfect city. It is a perfect blend of beach, southern, history, culture, and adventure. If you ever get a chance to visit, do it! You will NOT be disappointed. After spending lots of time in Charleston, I have quite a few favorite places and things to do that I figured I would share. Restaurants: Mosiac Cafe, Mt. Pleasant- Fresh food and great atmosphere. There are tons of healthy options that do not compromise flavor. It is very affordable as well. I like the MMC Salmon, which is only $10.99. It is hard to find a beautifully cooked piece of salmon for under $15. Cafe Medley, Sullivan's Island- I usually go here for breakfast. Their veggie sausage breakfast sandwich hits the spot. They serve coffee, salads, sandwiches, pastries, and even wine. It is the cutest little atmosphere and a perfect place to sit with your dog on the patio and eat breakfast. Poe's Tavern, Sullivan's Island- This place is always packed. Get the cheese fries. You won't be sorry. Red's, Shem Creek- This place is best for the atmosphere. The views are great and it's the perfect place to catch the sunset. You can sit and watch as shrimp boats, motor boats, paddle boards, and dolphins come down the creek from the ocean. There is a huge outside bar on the main patio and then an upper level with tables and another bar. The food is just as great as the atmosphere. You have to try the bourbon barbecue bacon wrapped scallops. Taco Boy, Downtown and Folly Beach- This place is super cool and has the best tacos. Jake insists on going every time he's in town. Verde, Downtown- This is a build your own salad place on King Street. This is a place to go if you want something healthy and fast. You pick your lettuce and then your toppings. It is very well priced as well. I just recently discovered it and am kind of obsessed. Cru, Downtown- This is a cute little place in an old house. This place is great if you want something different and interesting with a Southern flair. Magnolias, Downtown- I will be honest, I haven't tried very many of the more expensive restaurants downtown. I hear there are some excellent ones, though. I did try Magnolias and it was worth it. It is southern food with a southern atmosphere. Of course, there are many other amazing restaurants, these are just some of my favorites. Things to do: A day at the beach on Sullivan's Island- Sullivans is my favorite beach in the area. It is less touristy and very pretty. You can also walk down to main street to some amazing restaurants. Isle of Palms is more touristy and has those typical beach shops. It does have more waves, though, if that's what you are looking for. Watch the sunset at Fort Moultrie- Fort Moultrie is at the end of Sullivan's Island, facing Fort Sumter. It is cool to see all of the cannons and you can even go in the fort. This is the best spot to watch the sunset. Paddle board or Kayak on Shem Creek- My first kayaking experience here wasn't the best. But it is such a beautiful area that it makes it a good place to do both of these activities. Carriage Tour Downtown- Yes, it is a very touristy thing to do. I learned so much about the city that it made it so worth it. You get to see historical homes and sites and hear interesting stories. This is a must when you visit! Go to the Red Barn for your tour. Roof topping(is that a word) downtown- I love rooftops and downtown Charleston has some great ones. I really like The Rooftop at Vendue Inn. It over looks the city and the water. The Pavilion Bar is right in front of the Customs House and overlooks Market Street. It has a beautiful pool with fountains that make the atmosphere great. Visit Market Street- Market Street is, well a street, that has tons of tables set up with people selling their goods. Most likely you will find seagrass baskets, jewelry, paintings, and much more. Eat lowcountry staples- Have Shrimp and Grits and Lowcountry boil at least one time Take a walk- walk the bridge, walk the boardwalk at Shem Creek, or walk the fishing pier at Folly Beach Shop King Street- King Street downtown has some amazing shops. It has all of the upscale places like Louis Vuitton and Kate Spade, all of the midrange stores like J.Crew and Banana Republic, some good bargain stores like Forever 21, and some super cute boutiques. King Street has a little bit for everyone. Take part in History- visit Fort Sumter, Boone Hall Plantation, Patriots Point, Edmondston-Aiston House, The Battery, or The Old Exchange. Wander around the cobblestone streets and read the signs of all of the historic significance in the city. Until Next Time,

Curb appeal is about your home’s first impression—the face it presents to the world (and to you, when you come home every day). And while you may think of your home’s exterior as something that’s difficult to change without investing a lot of money and time, there are actually quite a few (really simple, DIY) things you can do to enhance your home’s curb appeal—many of them without even picking up a hammer.

Is there anything lovelier than a shade garden on a warm day? It's hard to beat!
Happy Weekend! After a week of lovely sunny weather we are getting some rain and cooler temperatures. I had another tour from Japan this morning but once again they were great sports and didn't complain about wet feet etc. We have another tour tom. but sunshine is promised. A few weeks ago I found this shelf at the thrift shop for a few dollars. Andrew put a back on it for me and I gave it a few coats of cloud white paint. It is a good way to display some of my favorite vintage/ antique china. Over the winter we put wainscoting on the bottom of our kitchen walls. When time permits we are adding a scalloped trim board on the bottom of it. Just a few closeups of the china. Lemon crinkle cookies are a nice little tea time treat. If you would like the recipe you can find it here . Looks pretty with toile! The dishes in use for afternoon tea in the sunroom. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! Carolyn
