Notes from Home Summer 2011
Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. – R ussell B akeR
OUR HOMEOWNERS IN THIS ISSUE will not be suffering through the summer no matter how hot it may get since they have such wonderful retreats to visit. one is on a mountain, one on a beautiful lake and one near the stunning coast of our Palmetto State. Surely you will enjoy visiting these retreats and, as i am, be most grateful for the owners’ graciousness in sharing their exquisite homes with us. this being a year for the always divine rose Ball, you can get a preview of some of the gorgeous homegrown roses that will grace the rooms of the Poinsett Club come September 16 and even learn a bit about how to grow them yourself in our ideas in Bloom feature. Several years ago, 12 to be exact, i became a fan of rosa and Winton Eugene’s pottery when they exhibited at an arts and crafts fair in Greenville’s WestEnd. i purchased one of their unique teapots back then (that’s it in the photo) and am delighted to feature their work and story in Art & Antiques. they are an extremely talented couple and fun to be around as well. it’s definitely worth a stop in Cowpens to visit their studio. Catch up with the winners of the tablescape design Competition, get some great recipes from a local chef/restaurateur and from our Garden to table expert, too, and view some unique styles of water features to consider for your own backyard or courtyard. Enjoy the summer!
