NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014

Dear Reader, As we embark on the holiday season life seems to speed up a bit. Balancing events of the season with the planning of family gatherings, and creating the ideal gift giving lists can be hectic.

With this issue we invite you to pause and enjoy old traditions and the making of new memories. We’ve put together a compilation of stories full of tips that can make your festivities flawless, and our annual GIFT GUIDE will give you some fresh ideas on the latest in unique and rare gifts.

It all begins with the invitations and holiday cards. Our dR FEATURE on the latest trends shares the most exclusive luxuries in couture cards. This year, custom designers are seeing a trend in donation cards in lieu of gifts, which is a great way to spread joy to your favorite charities.

For those hosting the holiday festivities this year, let dR CULINARY MASTERS help plan your menu. Top local chefs from the Tampa Bay area share their favorite holiday recipes from traditional to trendy fare. Need a new twist on hand-crafted cocktails? dR SPIRITS spices things up with Cinnamon Apple Mules or Pumpkin Spice Martinis.

Staying focused on good health this time of year can be a challenge. In dR HEALTH local celebrity Forbes Riley shares her expertise on nutrition and exercise, as well as her personal commitment to staying fit. Find out how to personalize your own holiday tune-up!

If adventure is in your holiday plans, dR TRAVEL features a trip to Waterfall Resort, Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. Secluded and unspoiled, it is known for award-winning fishing and a rich heritage. I visited the all-inclusive resort and it was one of the best trips ever!

Remember to enjoy this holiday season, and as always, I would like to extend my best wishes to you and yours for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Enjoy!

The Astronomia Tourbillon is a poetic visual rendering of the celestial world—with every element in constant, visible motion, all under the control of the oscillator at the heart of the tourbillon. On a triple-axis tourbillon the carrier, dial, and two celestial bodies—Earth and Moon—are in constant visible motion. The Moon is represented by a spherical, briolette-cut diamond while the Earth is represented by a globe made of white gold, with the oceans represented by the deep blue, translucent grand feu (fired) enamel. The entire dazzling mechanical display takes place under a complex, highly domed sapphire crystal, almost hemispherical in shape. $540,000. Jacob & Co. www.jacobandco.com

UNIQUE AND RARE FINDS FOR HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING The Silver Queen in Largo has everything you need for the guests on your list.

Looking for the perfect present to “wow” your significant other? Need a hostess gift filled with holiday cheer? The Silver Queen has just what you’re looking for. We sat down with The Silver Queen CEO Greg Arbutine to talk about how to uncover the must-have seasonal items that are flying off the shelves. Which one will you rush in to pick up?

WALLACE SAINT FRANCIS STERLING SILVER ORNAMENT

The Wallace Annual Saint Sterling Silver ornament collection features a different Saint each year. This year's Saint is Francis, sometimes known as Francis of Assisi who was an Italian Catholic friar and preacher. This limited edition collectible is a beautiful adornment for any tree or mantelpiece. “It’s going to be a popular item for us this year,” Arbutine explains.

T. HAUSMANN & SONS & SHULTZ OF BALTIMORE REPOUSSE STERLING WATER PITCHER

Weighing in at 29.30-troy ounces and standing at 10.5-inches tall, this pre-owned estate item is truly one of a kind (there’s only one in stock). The ornate floral design makes it a standout as the most fancy holiday tablescapes. Consider adding it to your favorite hostess’ collection this season.

36 www.duPontREGISTRYtampabay.com

THORSON HOSIER BENCH

Talk about bling! This one-of-a-kind bench is 24-inches wide by 18inches tall and 17-inches deep. Set with Swarovski crystal elements, this amazing treasure is absolutely stunning. Silver Queen features one only in stock. Arbutine explains, “It’s just a magnificent piece and I just love it!”

REED & BARTON STERLING SILVER CLOSEOUT ORNAMENT

This ornament allows you to add a personal touch. Insert your favorite photo into the ornament’s sterling-silver frame, lined with a ribbon motif, before presenting it to your loved one. This Silver Queen exclusive has a limited quantity of 312, so act quick to make this yours.

HEIRLOOM HAND-BLOWN CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

GORHAM STERLING SILVER SNOWFLAKE ORNAMENT

Made in Germany, these unique hand-blown pieces are new to the Silver Queen store this year. However, you may have seen the line’s pickle ornaments featured at Epot’s Germany. Other out-of-the-box designs include a frog, an alligator and a fire truck. But Arbutine has another favorite: “The ’12 Days of Christmas’ gift set is one of my favorite new ones in the store. It features a new ornament for each day.”

Decorate your Christmas tree with the Gorham Snowflake Ornament, which will stunningly reflect holiday lights. The snowflake’s intricately detailed design is dated with the year. This is the collection’s 45th edition since 1970 and it also serves as Silver Queen’s No. 1 bestselling sterling-silver ornament in the store. “With the popularity of the movie Frozen, we anticipate this one to do really well this year,” Arbutine boasts.

The Silver Queen has been in business since 1972 dealing in coins, silverware, fine jewelry, china, crystal and gifts. This family-owned business has more than three generations currently working at the store, including 10 family members helping the business thrive. The Arbutine family takes a lot of pride in the fact that they've all been able to work together so well over the past 42 years and provide customers the benefit of their expert knowledge and excellent customer service.

The family also is extremely proud of its in-store Silver Museum. “We would run across a few treasures that we just didn’t have the heart to sell,” Arbutine remembers. “So, the ‘collectors’ in us decided to hang on to them. It wasn’t until we opened our new 14,500-square-foot location 12 years ago that we could make an official small silver museum.”

The Silver Museum boasts more than 400 pieces, serving as a community educational outreach. It even has its own Facebook page— www.facebook.com/TheSilverMuseum—dedicated to the pieces in the collection. Arbutine gets to admire all his great finds daily, including a Tiffany Sterling Bonbonniere spoon measuring 10-inches long and weighing 19.65-troy ounces from 1895. He’s never seen another one quite like this one.

So for this upcoming holiday season, please be sure to visit this unique one-of-a-kind, family-owned store.

“The Silver Queen is your one-stop shop for Christmas gifts, antique silver and fine jewelry,” Arbutine says. “The holidays would just not be the same without a gift from our store.”

SPREAD JOY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

T

he holiday season is upon us, which means it’s time to send heartfelt greetings to family and friends, and invitations to join in the festivities.

With 16 years’ experience, Michelle and José Zacarias opened Invitation Galleria in Tampa six years ago and have since been creating high-end, custom cards and invitations for the area’s most discerning clients. To ensure that they create just what their clients envision – 80 percent or more of their work is custom design – their studio is open by appointment only.

“We love to give our clients an individualized appointment so that our time is devoted just to them,” said José. “Less is more when it comes to the holidays, and we aim to portray something simple that touches the hearts of their families and friends.”

This holiday season, the couple sees a lot of foil printing in gold and silver, reds and greens; a black and white design with a pop of color; and hand-written calligraphy to address envelopes is very popular. In addition to custom work, Invitation Galleria carries products from Crane, Vera Wang, William Arthur and Smock Paper.

Above left: Joy, designed and printed by Smock Paper. $2,200/100 cards.

Soosie Lazenby, owner of URBANcoast in Dunedin, also offers customized design in her couture studio, as well as individual appointments to offer the best personalized service possible. This season, Soosie is noticing a big trend in the pieces she’s designing with her clients—donation cards.

“In lieu of grand cards and invitations, people are channeling their energies and money into doing something more philanthropic, which I think is wonderful,” she said. “It’s probably one of my favorite trends that I’ve seen.”

Holiday cards and invitations may include a smaller card inside, noting in lieu of gifts, a donation has been made in the recipients’ honor; this same trend has been popular with weddings, too.

“One invitation I’m working on now, a client is asking their guests to bring an item for a particular charitable organization,” Soosie said. “Within the invitation will be a list of all of the items that this organization needs.”

END THE YEAR YOUR WAY.

STAY HAPPY. STAY HEALTHY.

HEALTH

This year, let’s change how we handle holiday weight gain by taking advice from a person whose salesmanship is only outweighed by her moxie.

Forbes Riley makes her living promoting health, fitness and vitality as an actress, infomercial superstar and celebrity spokesperson.

Known internationally for her globally broadcasted infomercials for the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer and Montel’s Living Well HealthMaster blender as well as pitchperson for FitTV and Body By Jake, Riley’s lived the life of, well, Riley, as she’s shown America how to stay fit through proper nutrition and exercise.

Today, she is host and executive producer of her own television show Forbes Living, a platform to promote fledgling inventors and innovators whose ideas need a little attention to catch fire. As well as promoter of her own product, the SpinGym®, a pocket-sized tornado that tightens muscles and builds cardio within a few fiveminute sessions a day.

“I think the holidays are really sad for most people. Fortunately or unfortunately, we’ve pre-programed what the holidays should be and it is a house full of presents, and food and people who love them,” this lifestyle guru explains.

If you’re an emotional eater, she says, it is important to satisfy your hunger before a big event. It will help you remember why you’re going and give you the strength to make better choices.

That simple decision—to understand how the season affects you and then act on it before the ride begins—is the underlying message within Forbes’ health mantra.

We make decisions about our health, weight and diet throughout this time of year. Unfortunately, few of us make conscious decisions —instead we allow other people’s expectations to drive our actions. “I don’t need to eat your pie to know you love me,” she says.

That image of food as love creates an emotional roller coaster.

“Take stock of what the holidays mean to you. Emotionally meet them before they crush you,” she explains.

Decide ahead of time to salvage your waistline.

1. Head for the protein. It’s usually not covered in a sauce and is a safe place to start.

2. Tote your own food. “When I walk in I bring a big cookie tray full of grilled vegetables. That way I can eat something,” she says.

3. Try to avoid alcohol: “At some point, you are drinking a cup of sugar and sugar will trigger you to eat more sugar.”

4. Give back. Last Thanksgiving, Riley and her family were on opposite coasts of the United States. Instead of eating her way through the day—which the admitted emotional overeater knew could happen—she fed the homeless. “I know what is like to be in a really dark space where food is your friend,” she continues.

Volunteering puts lives in perspective.

5. Move throughout the season. Burn calories regularly instead of waiting for the January health club specials. Riley touts her Spin Gym® as the perfect everyday exercise.

6. Find an anchor—a memory or idea that makes you happy and go to it when sadness creeps. Odds are you will be unhappy at some point in the season. Uncover that happy trigger and reclaim your emotions, she urges.

7. Stop the hysteria—Don’t comment on family and friends weight.

It feeds into the notion that we are only valuable when we’re thin.

Stop sizing others up.

If Riley is anything, she is the master of her own success and a consummate survivor. Dream it, believe it, create it she says but first understand that the choice is up to you.

Reward Yourself Reward yourself with an oculoplastic surgeon who is passionate about her service and values the importance of self-image.

WATERFALL RESORT

Prince of Wales Island, Alaska

A

laska’s pristine wilderness is the setting for an all-inclusive saltwater sport fishing trip of a lifetime at historic Waterfall Resort, located on the remote Prince of Wales Island.

Accessible only by sea plane, the island is home to some of the best fishing in the world for anglers eager to reel in the prized trophies: Chinook King Salmon, Alaska Coho Silver Salmon and halibut, as well as ling cod, Alaska Red Snapper and a dozen other species.

SEAFOOD CAPITOL OF ALASKA Since the 1800s, this area on Alaska’s Inside Passage has been a noted fishing center, thanks to the rich tides and underwater volcanic rock formations that create a habitat for millions of baitfish. In fact, Waterfall Resort was once the site of the Waterfall Cannery, a thriving fish packing plant that broke records for the sheer volume of seafood caught and exported worldwide. First established in 1912, the cannery remained in operation until the late 1960s.

Now, the property has been transformed into a top-rated adventure destination for both novice and experienced anglers. Individuals, families and groups are welcome to experience the great fishing and amazing natural landscapes, while enjoying four-star guest service, expert guides, comfortable accommodations and Alaska-sized meals.

Although Waterfall Resort is secluded enough to enjoy the quiet and solitude that comes from leaving the day-to-day stresses of modern life and technology behind, it’s also fairly accessible. After a 90minute-flight from Seattle, Washington, to Ketchikan, Alaska, you’ll hop aboard a float plane. And unlike the hassle of departures and arrivals at Tampa International Airport—or any airport, the float plane will glide into a smooth landing at the dock in front of the waterfront resort.

After a short break to change clothes and catch your breath, guests gear up and get ready for the first of many fishing expeditions.

48 www.duPontREGISTRYtampabay.com

By Janan Talafer

Secluded, unspoiled and memorable for its award-winning fishing.

All equipment, including G. Loomis rods and Shimano reels, allweather gear and boots are provided by the resort. The boats seat four and are custom-designed 25-foot heated cabin cruisers.

AMAZING FISH TALES Not very knowledgeable about fishing but eager to learn? Experienced, Coast Guard-licensed Alaska fishing guides oversee all the details and offer instruction in the “Alaskan” style of fishing for trophy-sized salmon and halibut. As you explore the inlets, bays and open water around the Inside Passage, you’ll also be watching for the wildlife—humpback whales, black bears, bald eagles, otters and sea lions are abundant in the area. It’s even possible to see an orca in the wild here.

On a typical day, a hearty breakfast is served at 5 a.m., with boats departing at 6:30 a.m. for a full day of fishing. Lunch is served on board and boats return to the dock by 4:30 p.m., in time for photos of anglers with their catch, followed by dinner. Meals are prepared fresh daily by a professional chef. Accommodations range from the renovated historic boardwalk cabins, originally built in 1912 to house Waterfall Cannery employees, to lodge rooms, executive Egg House suites and family-sized townhouse condos.

Perks unique to the resort include the services of a professional staff to filet, process and flash freeze each day’s catch for shipping home. In addition, on the day of departure, guests receive Alaska Airline check-in services—seat assignment, boarding pass and luggage claim checks—onsite at the resort, making the flight from Ketchikan back to Seattle much simpler.

The 2015 calendar has already been planned and reservations are now being taken. The King Salmon Jackpot Challenge kicks off the season with a three-day tournament June 12-15.

Straight Talk from the Publisher Last June I was one of a party of four who fished the Pacific until our arms almost dropped off. We each shipped home 40- to 45-pound boxes of flash-frozen filets. (There is even a frozen fish locker in the Seattle airport near the baggage claim to keep your catch cold while you experience a stop-over on the way home—see www.kensbag gage.com) Every day was an adventure, including a hike upland to the spectacular waterfall that is the source for all the fresh water at the lodge.

Before going to the lodge, our two-night stay in Ketchikan was a cultural adventure. Our guide for exploring the unique history of this pioneering town was Joe Williams, Jr. A Tlingit tribal leader, Joe is an encyclopedia of the fascinating history of the town’s 180-year transformation from an outpost for hunting and fishing to a modern hub for transportation in southeast Alaska. His knowledge of the lives of Alaska’s native Indian population is extraordinary and fascinating. If you want to have a complete compliment to your fabulous fishing at Waterfall Resort, include Joe in your trip. Tell him I sent you. Contact Joe Williams, Jr. at his website: www.experienceketchikan.com/ native-american-totem-poles-5.html.

DECORATING FOR THE HOLIDAYS We might not have snowflakes dancing, sleigh bells ringing or snowmen in the front yard, but the Sunshine State still welcomes the holiday season with flourish.

Whether you simply place a wreath on the front door and light the candles on the table, or put together an extravagant holiday-themed design, it’s helpful to spark your imagination with new ideas. Here are a few suggestions. Happy Holidays!

FESTIVE TABLES

52 www.duPontREGISTRYtampabay.com

Noted home and style expert Svitlana Flom, the author of the décor blog, Art de Fete, creates the right ambience for the holidays with a special emphasis on table decorations. After all, aren’t family and friends gathered around the dinner table what many of us love best about the holidays?

Flom collaborated with floral designer Olga Gerasimenko to create a lavish red and gold “tablescape” that uses a huge mass of red carnations as the centerpiece. The two took a dozen carnations and formed them into lush floral spheres, then gift wrapped them with a festive gold bow and placed them on a clear glass cake plate. Red crystal candle sticks with gold candles, gold-rimmed holiday plates and a red table runner add the finishing touches to the table. It might be over the top, but certainly glamorous.

Flom also likes to incorporate elements of nature in all of her décor concepts by dressing up the mantle or a long console table in the foyer with fresh magnolia branches instead of the traditional fir. She inserts pine cones and simple red bulb ornaments along the length of the magnolia display, and groups white candles in varying heights and sizes to complete the look.

Designer and business coach Tobi Fairley likes to use citrus, both lemons and oranges, in her holiday designs. She attaches the citrus to wreaths using hot glue, or places them within the greenery on the mantle. For a stronger, holiday-scent, she suggests studding the fruit with cloves.

SIMPLE AND CLASSIC In St. Petersburg’s Old Northeast Neighborhood, you’ll find homes decorated with traditional arrangements of gingerbread collections, boughs of fir and candles on the mantle, as well as chalk-

board displays in the kitchen, all of which lend a classic look to this neighborhood, which is noted for its many historic homes from the 1920s. This is the seventeenth year for the neighborhood’s Candlelight Home Tour, which donates a portion of its proceeds to a different nonprofit organization each year. This year’s charity is CASA. A classic, “retro” style for the holidays is also very fitting for Bok Tower Garden’s Holiday Home Tour at Pinewood Estates. Each of the rooms in the 1930-era Mediterranean-style estate is decorated by a different local designer. Hallways and entrances are decorated by Pinewood volunteers. The most unusual holiday design last year featured striking blue, purple and green accents and peacock feathers to give one of the historic bedrooms an old Hollywood-style glamour.

This year’s holiday tour is the twentieth for the estate.

NEED MORE IDEAS? Don’t forget to add a little holiday cheer to your outdoor kitchen and pool area with lights, wreaths, poinsettias and candles. Or how about extending the holiday décor all the way down to the dock by decorating the boat? What could be more unique to Florida than the many area holiday lighted boat parades! It’s enough to make friends and family up north very envious.

A CHECKLIST OF EASY-TO-DO HOLIDAY IDEAS • Showcase a collection of small vintage ornaments on a large brightly colored Christmas platter in the middle of the table.

• Decorate pendant lights in the kitchen with garland and bows.

• Fill large clear glass vases with red and green beads or cranberries and pine cones.

• Place the tree in its stand inside a large woven basket instead of using the traditional tree skirt.

• Hang wreaths from curtain rods with large festive holiday bows.

LUXURY STORAGE

FOR YOUR PERSONAL WINE COLLECTION

I

60 www.duPontREGISTRYtampabay.com

f you’re passionate about fine wine, you will want to make sure that your collection is properly stored and protected. Showcasing the bottles on an open wine rack or keeping them in the kitchen refrigerator is not the answer and can actually damage the integrity of the wine over time.

Instead, specially designed wine coolers, refrigerators, cabinets and wine rooms are the hottest trend and the perfect solution. These high-tech storage units come with a number of features that today’s oenophiles or wine connoisseurs will appreciate. They guard against the three factors that can do the most harm to your investment: excessive light, fluctuations in temperature and humidity that is either too high or too low.

Several top-of-the-line brands, including Sub-Zero Wolf, Miele and Liebherr make wine cabinets that not only serve as a freestanding “appliance” in the kitchen, but in many cases, can also blend perfectly with the style of your cabinets, says Lynn Kislin, of Appliance Gallery. And rather than a solid door, which blocks the view, the units have full-view glass doors to display your collection.

You can also order a custom wine “room” which can double as a nice centerpiece for the dining room or family room, says Nancy Braamse, of Olde World Cabinetry. Custom display units can be created in any style, from traditional to modern, and can hold several hundred bottles. Some of the more high-end wine cellars can be built to hold thousands of bottles.

Whichever type of storage you prefer, one of the most important considerations is to include specialized UV-resistant glass to protect the wine from light and temperature changes, says Marc Hammar, of Ferguson.

UV rays from sunlight damages the integrity of the wine by contributing to accelerated aging, browning and overall color instability.

Dramatic temperature swings are also harmful, as wine is very susceptible to temperature fluctuations, which can cause a chemical reaction that changes the taste.

The ideal temperature for red wine is a steady, balanced 65 degrees, or lower for higher-alcohol wines, says Kislin. On the other hand, white wine is best maintained between 49 and 55 degrees.

Sub-Zero is among the manufacturers that offers up to three independently controlled storage zones for storing different kinds of wine.

62 www.duPontREGISTRYtampabay.com

Many people are surprised to learn that humidity can be a problem for wine, says Kislin. But air that is too dry can cause oxidation, which can ruin the taste, while too much humidity can cause corks to mold and even damage the wine labels.

Vibration-control is another special feature of today’s high-end wine storage units, says Hammar. Vibration of the bottles, from a noisy compressor or other factors, can agitate sediment, which can alter the wine’s taste.

There is one final factor to consider for your collection: security.

Connecting your wine storage system into your home’s security system makes sense for several reasons, says Kislin. It will protect you against theft, which is especially important for a large, valuable collection. But it will also monitor for any possible changes to the environment, such as power outages, changes in temperature or humidity and light exposure, all of which could damage the wine. Any breach to the system sends an alert to your mobile device.

Whether you enjoy a glass of Cab or Merlot, Chardonnay or Riesling, it makes sense to protect your investment with one of the many high-end wine cabinets available today.

Friends of Music A VIP Concert Club For Ruth Eckerd Hall It’s the ultimate, exclusive concert experience for people who love great music and food in a small, intimate setting. Friends of Music, now in its fifth year at Ruth Eckerd Hall, offers members the opportunity to attend three private events with big name stars like Colbie Caillat, Maroon 5, Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock and Hall & Oates. Best of all, the guest list is capped at 300 and you need a personal invitation to attend.

“The shows are for Friends of Music members only,” says Maggie Ciadella, who coordinates the program for Ruth Eckerd Hall. “It’s about building memorable events that keep people talking.”

It’s also a unique way for Ruth Eckerd Hall, one of Tampa Bay’s leading performing arts organizations, to engage a younger generation of supporters who not only appreciate great entertainment, but also welcome the opportunity to contribute to the community. Membership in Friends of Music benefits the Marcia P. Hoffman Performing Arts Institute at Ruth Eckerd Hall.

“Over the last five seasons, we have raised over one-million dollars net, which has gone directly into our educational programs at the Hoffman Performing Arts Institute,” says Ciadella.

The Hoffman Institute offers a diverse range of experiences for young children through seniors, including group classes and private lessons in music, dance, theater and theater technology. There are also summer camps for kids, school field trips to the theatre and outreach programs to schools, hospitals and corporations.

Thanks to sponsorship by the Hoffman Institute, Tampa Bay was the second venue in the country to host the Grammy Museum’s Music Revolution Project for musically talented young people last year. The institute will also bring nationally known illusionist Kevin Spencer and his “Healing of Magic”
