FROM THE

This week, we attempt to take some of the guesswork out of holiday gifting by consulting local experts on what the popular, practical and piping hot items are for 2017. Our feature story by Kris Ritcher explores unique and original ideas at varying price points that all can purchased locally for just about anyone on your list.

We didn’t include gifts for children or teenagers because, it is quickly becoming my experience, that they are their own experts and are therefore quite vocal and specific about their desires. I’m grateful to live in a technological era that makes fast forward an option through television advertisements as my three-year-old is in full embrace of commercialism. “I want that! I want that!” is the alarm that lets me know I’ve dropped my guard and allowed a commercial to play. And here’s the darndest thing about three-year-olds – it turns out they have infallible memories. Luckily, my son has also asked for “toilet paper and paper towels” from Santa consistently this season, so a huge “well done” to the marketing or advertising firm that managed to make those products look fun for kids.

It all makes me think back to the “hot gifts” from my childhood.

Those in my generation must recall the Cabbage Patch craze of 1983.

My knock-off that year was convincing enough for me until I took her to school (which I guess used to be a thing they let us do) and noticed my little cherub was missing the signature tattoo on her behind. A full year later my preemie “Vincent Boris” showed up under the tree complete with all the official paperwork and markings this time, thank you very much. The next season, we demanded Pound Puppies and my parents had learned that they couldn’t just hire the talented lady at church to recreate anymore – they needed to brave the retail gauntlet.

One year, I was hysterical to see my sister open a package with Baby That A Way inside which was the baby the I had asked for. “She didn’t even want that baby! She wanted Baby Skates!” I delivered dramatically at high volumes for the entire family. “Well honey, sometimes Santa gets…confused,” my mom assured drowsily. That was the year that, frankly, my relationship with Santa got a little contentious. I’ll spare you the year that I thought I was getting a television set and instead opened an enormous box of assorted Avon products.

Oh Santa, it’s true. Sometimes you get confused. This year, we’re here to help.

HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR 2017

By Kris Ritcher Photos by Kathyn Harrington

A

s the gifting season approaches, some of us will find ourselves strategizing, and others will be actively avoiding all the many considerations that accompany the holiday shopping hustle and bustle. I’ve been on every angle of the gifting game over the past few decades.

I’ve done the Black Friday campout. I’ve also stopped

by Kroger on my way to a party on Christmas night to buy flowers for a gift. I’m proud to say I’ve never fought anyone for the “hot item” of the season, but am equally embarrassed to admit that I have run through a store to secure a certain “doorbuster” deal.

One year, I did the entirety of my shopping online.

I’ve made comprehensive lists months in advance that allowed me to complete my shopping prior to November, but I’ve also been at a mall, shopping strip, gift boutique or big box store at 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve (way too many times).

So this year, to save you some time, energy and shipping fees, we’ve connected with some local experts to get a grip on thoughtful gifting. From functional to fashionable, we’ve rounded-up the most-wanted items from some of the must-hit shops in and around Louisville. Here’s to a smooth and inspired gifting season! May your stress levels stay low and your list have more check marks than question marks on it.

RODES FOR HIM FOR HER

W

e checked in with Jordan Hocker and Megan App from the team at Rodes to find out what the big gift trends would be this season. Resoundingly, they agreed that the fail-safe trend of the year is “denim, denim and more denim!”

Rodes has you covered for men’s and women’s premium denim as well as an expansive range of luxurious apparel and accessories for everyone on your list, and they are committed to creating a personalized experience for every shopper. Check out some of Rodes’ most coveted picks for the man or woman with an eye for style on your gift list.

RODEO DRIVE

I

f you’ve ever been into Rodeo Drive, you know they offer sought-after styles from a carefully curated selection of designers and the latest must-haves of the season. They are also staffed with experienced stylists that can work one-on-one with clients who may need some guidance to select the perfect gift for any event, occasion or recipient.

(My mother-in-law will love the Thompson Ferrier candles.

Chances are, yours will too.)

My favorite giftable from Rodeo this season is the Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris Fragrance Wardrobe ($215), which includes 8 mini-sized bottles of perfume for the gal who likes to accessorize with fragrance. It’s perfect for travelers or your best friend who tends to change her mind and mood as often as she changes clothes. Here are some other on-trend gift items from the team at Rodeo Drive.

OUTLET SHOPPES OF THE BLUEGRASS

I

f you really want to get all your shopping finished in one trip (or at least make a solid dent right out of the gate) take a short drive south to the 8-acres of the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass.

Marketing Director Amy Duke suggests trying to personalize the gift to the recipient’s personality.

She says shops like Gap Factory, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th are loaded up on cozy oversized sweatshirts this season for an update on a classic gift.

She also recommends small leather goods (from Kate Spade, Michael Kors and Coach) as always-popular gift items too. And you don’t have to visit the Outlet Shoppes every day to nail down the perfect items.

Take Duke’s advice to “follow your favorite shop(s) on our website to be alerted and gain first-access to sales and promotions.” If the retail experience makes you frazzled, Duke has a suggestion for that too. “Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass gift cards, which are redeemable at every store in the center, are the best way to make sure everyone gets everything they want, every time. They are available for purchase at Guest Services in the Food Court.”

DULUTH TRADING COMPANY

ew to Louisville and housed in a bright, expansive space on Whiskey Row on Main Street, Duluth Trading Company should be the first (and will likely be the only) stop on your list for anyone in your life who travels, enjoys the outdoors, likes adventure, stays active, drives a car, wants to feel cozy or appreciates functional clothing. I honestly could have completed my whole list on my first visit last week, but instead I bought myself a Free Swingin’ Flannel ($44.50). It’s durable and comfortable and has armpit gussets and deep shoulder pleats, so I can actually reach overhead in it without it pulling or getting tight across my shoulders. Even better? It has a microfiber “Shirttail Shammy” inside the front hem to polish my phone and glasses.

I’m willing to bet these gifts suit more than one person on your list. VT

SPOTLIGHT

New Year’s Eve 2018

I

t’s never too early to start thinking about your plans for New Year’s Eve, and one of the hottest parties of the year is happening at Mellwood Arts Center on December 31. We spoke with Joey Wagner of J Wagner Group to learn about their annual NYE collaboration with Eventris.

This year’s NYE party sounds like an absolute blast! What can guests look forward to at this year’s event?

Every year we continue to set the bar high for NYE. We have sold out the past three years pretty quickly so make sure you get your tickets ASAP. We will have Louisville’s #1 band Tony and the Tan Lines and Louisville’s #1 DJ K-Dogg performing once again so the music for NYE is AMAZING! We are back at Mellwood Arts Center which is the perfect venue for our event.

The party is from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. and is 21 and over.

You’ve been throwing memorable events for a number of years now. How has this one evolved since you got started?

I have been producing events in Louisville for 18 years now. NYE is our BIGGEST party outside of our Kentucky Derby events. It has been pretty crazy to me to see the support of this event the past three years, and seeing it sell out quickly like it does is pretty cool. A good friend of mine told me about Tony and the Tan Lines three years ago. Having both a band and a DJ in the same night was something I had to get talked into the first year, but I am so glad I listened and we did it.

16

I am a big “experience guy” so I want our guests to have a great experience when they come to our events. If they have a good time then they will want to come back to the next one. This event is so much fun and that’s been the key to selling out every year.

Why is this NYE bash important for Eventris?

We only produce three events a year for Eventris with our Pink Prom, Turkey Stock Turkey Drive and New Year’s Eve. It’s become a signature party in this city, and we sell it out every year with around 950 people. I think people have been to so many of our events over the years, they know it’s going to be well-produced. We want our attendees to have a great time closing out 2017, and I really think this event has accomplished that each year.

Which sponsors should we thank for their support of this party?

We are excited to have John Kenyon on board this year as our new Presenting Sponsor. Something new this year we are going to do is the John Kenyon Eye Ball Drop at midnight, which will be really cool. Other sponsors include Bacardi USA, Grey Goose Vodka, Angel’s Envy, Anheuser Busch, Red Bull and Coca-Cola. We couldn’t pull it off without our amazing sponsors!

Where can guests purchase tickets for NYE? General admission tickets are available at www.NYE502.com and if anyone is interested in VIP Tables, they can email me at Joey@JWagnerGroup.com VT 1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Pandora’s ‘Falsettos’ Redefines Family

B. Deemer Gallery Fine art • Fine framing

By Remy Sisk

Lauren McCombs and Ken Robinson.

I

n keeping with their season’s theme of family, Pandora Productions is in the midst of their run of “Falsettos,” a musical that chronicles the tribulations and triumphs of an expanded family: a man, his ex-wife, his psychiatrist, his gay lover, his son and his two lesbian neighbors. The show is not only a hilarious examination of what it means to be a family, it is also a deeply sombre commentary on the AIDS crisis, putting into perspective the significance of supporting one another and embracing the joys of life no matter how passing they may seem.

“Falsettos,” was the first show ever produced by Pandora in 1995, and it has been on Producing Artistic Director Michael J. Drury’s list to return to for years. But the time never really felt right – until now. “This year, with Actors Theatre revisiting ‘Angels in America,’ it just seemed like now was the time,” Drury relates. “One of the reasons [we chose this show] is because the political climate is so similar now to what it was when Reagan was in office and the AIDS crisis hit and nothing was really done. That to me is commentary enough and reason enough to do it.”

However, the story explores much more thematic material beyond the devastation of a 1981 AIDS diagnosis. Coming off the season opener and audience hit “Sordid Lives,” which explored a more typical family, Drury was eager to depict how “Falsettos” defines “family.” “Certainly ‘Sordid Lives’ is around a whole family – and so is ‘Falsettos’ – but it also helps redefine family like we define it now,” he emphasizes. “In that time period, we looked at the nuclear family as a man, woman 1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

“FALSETTOS” Continues through November 19 The Henry Clay Theatre pandoraprods.org

and two-and-a-half kids. But it seemed to me that through the late 1970s and early ’80s – the time period of this play – the LGBTQ community started to define it differently.”

It is robust subject matter to be sure, and as the show is nearly all sung, Drury needed to cast not only singers but singers who could act through song. He emphasizes that he couldn’t be prouder of this ensemble of actors, but one in particular has exhibited a truly profound growth over the course of the rehearsal process for “Falsettos.” Lauren McCombs, an actress who has worked with a variety of companies in town, plays Trina, the hero’s ex-wife.

Primarily a rock belter, McCombs was pushed by Drury to find the more emotional, thoughtful side of her voice.

“I chatted with Lauren and said, ‘I would like to challenge you to find the warmth in your voice. I know you can do bright, but I’d love for you to find the warmth,’ because her character has some really beautiful ballads that really advance the plot along and the love and emotion and the figuring out of how all of these people fit into this family,” Drury says. “Ever since, she has been working on it, and there is a woman singing on that stage now, not a girl.”

But McCombs is one in a cast of seven, a group that tells the interweaving stories of this family and help us understand that family can be whatever we want it to be. Through its compounded narratives, “Falsettos” illustrates that family isn’t always who you’re related to but rather who’s there for you in any situation – whether at the Bar Mitzvah or in the hospital room – helping you find all the fleeting joy life has to offer.

SPORTS

Assumption Wins 20th State Volleyball Title Story by Randy Whetstone Jr. Photos courtesy of Bryan Rader

I

n the sport of volleyball, few programs can compare themselves to Assumption. Ever since the program’s inception 29 years ago, their values and priorities have stayed intact almost three decades later. As a result, the Rockets (40-3) reign supreme in the state of Kentucky, and have captured their 20th state championship in school history after they beat Mercy 3-0 (25-22, 25-18, 25-22).

“Obviously we were all excited to win, however a major reaction for the girls and myself was one of relief,” says Coach Ron Kordes.

“There is a lot of pressure playing in this program due to our schedule and history. We are expected to win every time out, so once they had accomplished their goal of a state championship, I could see the relief on their faces.”

Winning is not automatic and even with a target on their back each season, Assumption still had their growing pains this year.

Being ranked No. 1 at the start of the season didn’t stop early pitfalls. When the Rockets encountered roadblocks, it became easy for players and coaches to allow doubt to creep in. But during the last third of the season, Kordes says the team grew and soared in their confidence, playing the last 14 matches of the season without dropping a set or a game.

Perhaps the greatest lesson the team learned this year came when they played Sacred Heart on September 23.

“After beating Sacred Heart twice early in the season, we 1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

played them at home and lost in five,” Kordes adds. “We assumed we would win and that is always dangerous; but giving credit to Sacred Heart, they played an inspiring game and with nothing to lose. They deserved the win.”

The Rockets learned quickly from that lesson, going on to defeat Sacred Heart in the seventh region tournament as they dominated the competition on their way to becoming champions. But the girls were not the only ones growing and learning this season. Each year, with the pressure mounting, Kordes becomes the “coach as student” as he learns and finds new ways to enable his team to be comfortable in the uncomfortable.

“Each year I am searching for ways to alleviate some of the pressure that is placed on these young ladies,” he says. “So hopefully I was able to do that in some small way this year.”

Aside from lessons learned and growing as a unit, chemistry is the main ingredient to the team’s success. When players are in harmony, they are able to gel together as an inseparable force with the drive to win. Assumption has won 20 of the 39 state championships since the state tournament started in 1979.

Perhaps the program’s greatest victory is their ability to send a plethora of players to college on a volleyball scholarship, including 15 players on their current roster who have committed to playing in college. Kordes has a lot championship hardwood to back his name, but as a coach his greatest feeling is “to help them achieve their dreams.” VT

8 Tips to Keep You Fit This Holiday Season Story by Jeff Howard Photos by Jillian Clark

Mark Eliason, Halston Thurman, Summer Eliason and Jeff Howard.

T

he holidays are almost upon us and that means lots and lots of shopping, fun, food and festivities. There’s no better time than the holiday season to enjoy family and friends, as well as the occasional extra helping of mashed potatoes or dessert. But what happens when the sofa suddenly sounds better than a super-sweaty workout?

The reality is, it’s all about maintaining your mindset and keeping yourself in check until the new year kicks in! So here are my tips to keep you fit and healthy this holiday season:

1. MAKE A REGULAR EXERCISE DATE WITH YOURSELF OR A FRIEND The hustle and bustle of the holidays can take a toll on your health if you don’t make time to take care of yourself. As you’re preparing your to-do list, take a long, hard look at your calendar and schedule in time for your workouts. It may mean taking something else off the agenda, but it will be worth it. Use your smart phone or cell phone to set reminders so your exercise date won’t slip your mind, even on your busiest days.

20

2. SAVE TIME WITH INTERVALS.

Interval exercise not only helps you burn calories and fat faster than exercising at a steady state, it also strengthens your heart and helps keep it healthy. I recommend that you work in at least 20 minutes of interval exercise in which you alternate short bursts of intense activity (15 to 60 seconds each depending on your fitness level) with easier recovery periods on most days of the week. Walking outdoors is the simplest way to do interval training, but you can also do intervals indoors when the weather is bad.

Try intervals on the treadmill, elliptical or a stationary bike, or simply do some jumping jacks or running in place in your living room. You can also take your workout to the mall: walk intervals around the perimeter before, during or after holiday shopping.

3. TURN CHORES INTO AN EXERCISE OPPORTUNITY. When it’s time to get the house in shape for the holidays, set a timer on the oven or your cell phone for 10 minutes, and then see how much of your house you can declutter before the buzzer goes off. This will mean dashing from room to room as well as upstairs and down. Or, while you’re waiting for a pot of water to boil or doing the dishes, relieve the boredom with 10 leg raises to each side and 10 to the rear. You can also do

1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

LIFE

some counter-top push-ups by standing back, putting your hands on the edge of the counter and doing some half push-ups.

4. DE-STRESS WITH YOGA OR MEDITATION Yoga is an excellent way to reduce seasonal stress while improving strength, flexibility and balance. Set your alarm to get up a half hour earlier than usual in the morning to do a few relaxation and breathing exercises. Or make time for some deep breathing during the work day: sit comfortably with your eyes closed and your spine straight. Allow yourself to breathe naturally for a few minutes, letting go of any tension in your body.

Then, begin inhaling and exhaling deeply and slowly, counting to six during the inhalation, and doing the same count for

the exhalation. Repeat six to ten times, and then return to your normal breathing.

5. BROWN BAG IT If you’re not packing your own lunch each day, you’re not going to drop any weight. When your stomach is about to eat itself at lunch, you will more than likely choose something that’s not healthy and packed with calories. So don’t set yourself up for failure. When it comes to healthier eaters, the adult brown-baggers are usually the winners. Even with the cookie and chips they often bring, they eat better and eat less.

If you’re not packing your own lunch each day, you’re not going to drop any weight.

6. EAT BEFORE YOUR BIG EVENT Ahh, holiday delicacies. Turkey with all the trimmings.

Dessert. How about another cup of eggnog? It feels like the calories are adding up just thinking about it. To prevent overeating, I suggest you eat something healthy with a large glass of water before heading out to an event. I show up pretty full and therefore, don’t feel the need to have a full plate.

7. BUDDY UP Your entire family will be all in one place for the holidays. Or maybe it’s your good friends visiting from out of town. It’s the perfect opportunity to pick a holiday workout buddy, or even a workout group. The more, the merrier. Make fitness a family affair. Take a family hike or bike ride or family challenge like seeing who can take the most steps weekly.

1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

8. CUT YOURSELF SOME SLACK A few too many cookies or a few skipped workouts don’t spell disaster. This is a busy time of year, but don’t let this create a negative mentality that has you putting your health on the back-burner until January. You’ll always have a new day with which to set new goals. VT

Bellarmine Bliss Story by Mariah Kline Photos by Adam Padgett

John Ackerman & Alyssa Dunne

ollege sweethearts John Ackerman and Alyssa Dunne were married on May 13 on a sweet summer day.

Surrounded by their friends and family, the pair shared an enchanting wedding ceremony and a lively reception.

John and Alyssa met in August 2012 when they were both accounting majors at Bellarmine University. John was two years ahead of Alyssa in school but both were part of the same professional business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi. They began dating right away and got engaged in October 2015. The pair went ring shopping, and John designed the perfect ring with the help of Bailen Jewelers. Then, while spending a day together for Alyssa’s birthday, John proposed at a special spot the two frequented at the Parklands of Floyds Fork.

When it came time to plan the wedding, Alyssa managed most of the details on her own since she laughingly calls herself a “control freak.” However, John helped her make a number of decisions and assisted when he could to make matters easier on her. She also had the help of her four sisters and other family members to make everything come

22

together on the big day.

The day of the wedding started very early since the ceremony took place in the early afternoon. Alyssa and her six bridesmaids spent a hectic morning having their hair and makeup done at her house. They were ready to leave for the church when Alyssa received a call that their limo wasn’t coming. Their reservation had unfortunately been misplaced, but the rental company, Derby City Limos, saved the day by sending a party bus instead.

“That was the only thing that went wrong the entire day but it turned out to be a lot of fun,” Alyssa explains. “It was more spacious than a limo and they had drinks and snacks ready for us.”

John and Alyssa were wed at St. Raphael’s in the Highlands in front of 120 guests and the reception followed at the Gheens Foundation Lodge at the Parklands. Alyssa purchased her dress from Rebecca’s Wedding Boutique, and the venues were artfully adorned with flowers from In Bloom Again.

At the reception, the couple and their guests enjoyed a delightful meal from Farm to Fork Catering and a gorgeous cake from Sweet Surrender. Their bartender from Mor1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

ris’ Deli & Liquors served drinks throughout the night as guests danced to music from Adkins Island. John says his favorite part of the day was relaxing at the reception after the stresses of the day were behind them. Alyssa’s favorite part was taking fun pictures with their wedding party and enjoying the time with their friends.

For their honeymoon, the bride and groom went to two destinations they both had their hearts set on. They spent one week at Disneyworld (John’s pick) followed by one week in Aruba (Alyssa’s pick). Upon their return, the two went back to work at their respective accounting jobs. Alyssa works in public accounting for BKD while John runs his own CPA firm as well as the financial podcast Drunken Money.

The couple now lives in the Highlands and are thoroughly enjoying married life so far.

“Being married is great,” says Alyssa.

“Since we didn’t live together before we got married, it was a bit of a transition getting used to having someone in your space all the time. But now it’s great to come home to someone every night and share our lives together.” VT

Jeanine Moneypenny and Teri Amsler.

BEAUTY

Moss Hill’s Dynamic Duo Story by Nancy Miller Photos by Jolea Brown

O

nce upon a time, a little idea burgeoned into a big business. It all started it Jeanine Moneypenny’s basement.

Sixteen years ago, she was making candles and fizzers in her home. She sold them at moms’ groups and school art shows, and she was happy. The owner of a store in Shelbyville attended one of the shows and liked the products enough that she placed an order. That was a pleasant surprise to Jeanine and made her even happier.

The story gets much better and there’s no “The End.” “I thought, well, maybe this could turn into something,” she says. She continued making the candles and fizzers while expanding her line of products. “I was outgrowing my basement and got up the nerve to open Moss Hill Bath & Body Collection in Butchertown Market.”

In 2011, producing enough

We each bring unique things to the business.

This is a perfect partnership.

— Jeanine Moneypenny 24

products to meet the demand and run the business at the same time was becoming too much for one person. “I like the creative aspect, developing the recipes, working with customers. I needed someone who was good with finances and could also work with customers. I did a lot of soul searching,” says Jeanine. She invited Teri Amsler, with whom she had been friends since middle school, to lunch at Chuy’s. Over margaritas, chips and queso, she invited Teri to become her partner. Their chemistry and the prospects for growing the business were a match destined to happen (Neither Jeanine nor Teri discounts the influence of the margaritas).

“It came at a good time in my life. I went home to talk it over with my husband. The next day I called Jeanine and said, ‘yes.’ A few days later, I was learning the business,” says Teri. “I didn’t want to step on toes, but was all about collaborating. She and I complement each other.”

Jeanine agrees, “It’s like a marriage. You don’t want a partner that does exactly what you do. We each bring unique things to the business. This is a perfect partnership.”

Since the inception of the company, there has never been a year in which sales declined.

Every fragrance is blended on site, and all products are packaged and labeled in an area 1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

behind the retail shop. The duo recently doubled the retail space and increased the production area of the Butchertown Market location.

Moss Hill features 288 products in 25 fragrances, and sells to several stores in the Louisville area as well as 75 retailers around the country. The partners travel to gift markets in New York, Chicago and Atlanta to increase their visibility and sell their products.

The company also offers custom orders and packaging for weddings, baby showers and companies such as Heaven Hill Distilleries.

Branding a line “Bathe in Bourbon” was inspired by the company’s location in the heart of bourbon country. “It has the subtlety that spans all our products so the fragrances don’t knock you down,” says Jeanine. She has heard customers comment, “Oh, my goodness, there’s bourbon everywhere around Louisville. Now I can drink it and wear it!”

Proud of their Kentucky roots, Jeanine and Teri are thrilled that Moss Hill’s Kentucky Girl line is one of the best-selling fragrances for soaps, lotions, bath confetti, body mist and other products not only in this state but in other areas where customers love the soft, distinctive scent.

Moss Hill’s Revitalize Dry Skin relief, a staple for 12 years, is available in bourbon, 1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

honey almond, lavender and Kentucky Girl fragrances. A good-smelling antidote for eczema and other skin ailments, it will keep skin moisturized in frigid weather that may come our way this winter.

A portion of sales from the Bluegrass fragrance, offered in lotions, candles, shower gels, soap and gift sets, benefits the local nonprofit Blessings in a Backpack.

Moss Hill has become such an established brand that it has been named the official Pampering Product Partner for the Kentucky Derby Festival.

The company’s success is the envy of many entrepreneurs, but Jeanine and Teri aren’t businesspeople who take anything for granted.

They’re constantly reviewing the company’s history as they look to the future. They will be joined by two staff members in January when they will spend a few days at Cumberland Lake as they take a team approach to studying past sales, setting goals, evaluating trade shows, refining the marketing plan and developing a detailed plan for growth.

The two partners still meet at Chuy’s once a week “to bring it all back.” There are times they’re still a little bit in awe of what they’ve accomplished. Teri says, “Occasionally, we look around and at each other and go, ‘Wow.’” VT 25

An Exhibition of Design & Tradition Josh Wilkes Showcases Family & Festivity on the Holiday Home Tour Story by Remy Sisk Photos by Kathryn Harrington

THE 41ST ANNUAL OLD LOUISVILLE HOLIDAY HOME TOUR December 2-3, VIP Reception: December 1 oldlouisville.org/holiday-home-tour Josh Wilkes may be reached at josh@rosshite.design

W

hen the 41st Annual Old Louisville Holiday Home Tour launches the first weekend of December, attendees will be treated to an extra special showcase when they stroll down Garvin Place.

During the tour, Josh Wilkes will be showing off his home that also functions as his design firm’s office space as well as a rental site for special events. It’s a new home he’s recently acquired, and he and his business partner in Ross-Hite Design, Edie Fullerton, look forward to welcoming guests into the home during one of Old Louisville’s most beloved traditions.

The Holiday Home Tour, taking place December 2-3, will feature homes on South Sixth Street, Floral Terrace, Garvin Place and St. James Court. Attendees will be able to explore each of the homes and take in stunning holiday decorations while also bearing witness to some of the most exquisite Victorian architecture in the world. Wilkes’ home will indeed be on the tour, and his holiday décor will not only be a wonderful addition to the event but also something of an advertisement for the different facets of his business.

Ross-Hite Design, in addition to interior design, will be performing Christmas installs for clients this holiday season. “Decorating for the holidays shouldn’t be stressful,” Wilkes emphasizes. “Allowing me to do the

26

heavy lifting – trimming the tree or styling a staircase – or fighting the crowds to shop for a few new pieces to augment family heirlooms helps people enjoy the beauty of the season without the stress… I love the look of wonder from clients when they see their homes lit up.

It brings me joy to bring others joy, which is what the holiday season is all about!”

But of course the holiday services are secondary to the true design work; Wilkes classifies his personal style as being rooted in familial traditions and sentimentality.

“Growing up in the country, I’ve always appreciated beauty in the everyday,” he says.

“Even utilitarian pieces – such as a collection of my grandmothers old cast iron skillets – are beautiful, their patina telling a story of countless meals shared with loved ones.”

Wilkes carries that principle with him as he works with clients, helping them explore the meaningfulness that can come with pieces passed down within a family. “As an owner at Ross-Hite Design, I’m working to make design accessible to everyone, no matter the budget,” he affirms. “I believe in surrounding yourself with objects that carry meaning, often re-purposing family heirlooms to bring soul to a space while working with a modern lifestyle.”

And that’s something he brings to the home on Garvin Place. Though of course Victorian in its foundation, the space has been 1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

appointed by Wilkes with an eclectic array of décor that ties together traditional tastefulness with a modern mentality. “A well designed room can be transformative,” he enthuses.

“When your space is inspiring, suddenly you’ll find that you’re taking better care of yourself.

Good design really is a critical component of a happy life.”

If attendees of the Holiday Home Tour share in this philosophy when they visit Wilkes’ home, they can in fact use the space as their holiday event venue. “My home will continue to redefine Southern hospitality, creating personal one-to-one experiences,” he describes.

“Whether you need executive overnight accommodation or a private chef, we can help host your event and put you in the center of the exciting renaissance that’s underway in the amazing Old Louisville neighborhood.”

Creating this home and event venue has been “a true labor of love,” Wilkes says, and he eagerly anticipates sharing his passion project with guests on the Holiday Home Tour. “It’s been thrilling to breathe new life into an old space,” he maintains. “Filling once forgotten rooms with beautiful objects and opening it up for the locals and tourists alike to house their own special moments – showers, corporate dinners, charity events, wedding festivities, retreats, etc.”

And the Holiday Home Tour will be one of the first steps in that process – exhibiting not just the striking design but the inherent warmth of the season and how this home on Garvin can help make your season even more special, either by having your own event there or by taking inspiration from Wilkes’ commitment to family-oriented décor. “The holidays have always held special meaning to me,” he says. “It’s a time of year where people are more apt to appreciate the sentimental pieces that have been passed down generation to generation.” VT 1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Partyline

Baby, it’s Cold Outside

By Carla Sue Broecker

ercy! Father Winter is here! Gilda’s Night at Rodes was held last Friday and it was a full tent. The event was founded years ago by Annette Grisanti in honor and memory of her brother Mike Grisanti. Mollie Smith was the chair this year with the honorary chairs being Madeline Abramson and Henry Heuser Jr. Michele Oberst is slated to be next year’s chair.

Cocktails were held inside Rodes where it was warm and toasty, which was a good thing since dinner was held in a tent as usual. It took a lot of cocktails to warm up that crowd!

But it worked, and they auctioned off everything but the tablecloths, some of those were wrapped around the guests’ legs.

Among the table hosts were Susan and Bill Yarmuth, Mollie Smith, Colleen and Jim Beach, Teresa and Brian Riggs, Brandeis Machinery, Kentucky Select Properties, PC Home Center and the Rostrevor Foundation.

That same evening, Babs and Lee Robinson and Ann and Darrell Wells had a party at Malvern House for their friends to meet Mary McDonald. Mary is the star of TV’s “Million Dollar Decorators” and “Property Envy.”

The next day, the Lee Robinson Company hosted Wine & Design at The Pendennis Club. The weekend included holiday shopping from international brands including India Hicks, Stuart Mercer Men’s, Osborne & Little of London, Lexington Silver and Carl Meyer’s Women. To top it all off, there was a floral demonstration by Jana Dowds with some of the most gorgeous orchids I’ve ever seen.

BIG DEAL ON THE HUDSON Simpsonvillians Pam and David Ray are missing some buttons. They all popped off when they went to West Point on November 2 to witness their son, Mark D. Ray being promoted to the rank of Colonel in the U. S. Army, making him the youngest full Colonel in the entire U.S. Army.

The ceremony took place in the

Grand Ballroom of the West Point Club at the Academy in West Point, New York. Mark is Pam and David’s youngest son who graduated from West Point in 1996. His mama proudly points out that at his 20th West Point reunion in 2016, he was the most decorated officer in his class. He has served his country all over the world, and has also graduated from the Army War College and risen to Deputy Military Athletic Director there.

It was a fun-filled weekend that included the promotion, a bonfire rally in preparation for the Air Force Football game (Army won) and a celebratory reception that included his whole family at the West Point First Club.

NO FAUXS HERE Sixty two years ago Peggy Karem English graduated with a number of us from Eastern High School. Who would have thought that she would turn into a mini retail “typhoon?”

Never one to sit still, some years ago she opened Bloom ‘N Deals, an upscale women’s resale shop in Brownsboro Plaza at Rudy Lane and Brownsboro Road. The area is surrounded by homes with women who have lots of pretty clothes, and while they still are looking good, the clothing finds its way to Peggy.

Now, for the first time, she has collected an inventory of really glamorous furs that are being sold at prices low enough to wear them not only to fancy parties but also to the grocery store. They are going fast so to get the best selection of mink, sable and fox, go take a look ASAP.

DON’T MISS QUATTRA The annual Quattra Designs Show at the Louisville Boat Club will be held on Saturday, November 18 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

It features designer jewelry and wearable art for the dynamic woman from artists Lesley Rahner Ewald, Roxy Lentz, Sharon Major, Lona Northener, Denise Coonley, Lois Stickler and Suzanne Spencer and benefits Heuser Hearing & Language Academy. VT

The Craft of the Perfect Gift

BUSINESS

PROFILE

By Graham Pilotte Photo by Emily Berry

Karen Welch, artist Ashley Brossart and David McGuire

hen searching for a holiday gift with an artistic touch, you may want to consider looking through the work of a talented local artist. CRAFT(s) Gallery and Mercantile, conveniently located in downtown Louisville, is the perfect place to commence your search.

“CRAFT(s) Gallery and Mercantile is a contemporary and traditional art gallery,” explains co-owner David McGuire. “We feature artists who make crafts locally as well as nationally, and we have a bit of vintage flair.” He and co-owner Karen Welch feature both emerging and established artists across a variety of genres, from painting to ceramics to folk art and mixed media.

“Karen and I had both been in the business for several years, and decided it was time to make our own way,” explains McGuire.

“When we opened, the city was doing a push for retailers along South Fourth Street. We came in with about five other retailers at the time in 2013.” Their long-term relationships with regional artists and communities helped them to quickly launch a successful business and give customers access to incredible art and craft of all types.

“We’ve doubled in space,” McGuire says of their location on Fourth and Chestnut. While the duo initially started with a small space near the corner, they noticed that the corner location next door was unoccupied. “We said, ‘Hey, can we cut a hole in the wall and make this bigger?’” McGuire says with a laugh. It worked; now, one side of CRAFT(s) Gallery and Mercantile is a small display gallery, while

1 1 . 1 6 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

the other is filled with beautiful pieces in a more shop-like atmosphere.

“Karen and I write probably 100 checks a month to local artists, and that money is staying in our community,” McGuire explains.

“That’s really good – rather than sending it to a company that’s manufacturing overseas, you’re supporting local artists and the local economy. We love our neighborhood and our location.”

As the holiday season approaches, CRAFT(s) Gallery and Mercantile features a perfect assortment of gifts with a local, artistic flair. “We have amazing spiritiles from an artist called Houston Llew – they’re glass and copper, and they can sit on a shelf or hang on a wall. They have wonderful images and quotes from famous writers, musicians and poets,” McGuire says. “We also have Bourbon Blocks by Ron Meece, which have 12 bourbons featured on little birchwood boxes. People love them.” Other gifts include candles, tiny sculptures and carvings and beautiful local photography. For December, CRAFT(s) Gallery and Mercantile will host the work of Justin Rothshank. “He creates really nice pottery, both wood and soda-fired,” McGuire says.

McGuire and Welch are excited to spend another holiday season in Louisville. “Historic South Fourth Street has a long, rich retail history, going back to the 1920s, because of the location along the Ohio River,” McGuire says. “We love having people come here to do their shopping.” So this holiday season, stop

by CRAFT(s) Gallery and Mercantile for the artistic gifts on your list. VT

pets of the week Looking for a big, goofy friend to keep you company?

Meet Emelio! Two-year-old Emelio is a handsome Pit Bull Terrier mix who loves people and was transferred from an overcrowded shelter. Emelio is a big guy at sixty-two pounds, but he likes to think of himself as a lap dog. He can be a little nervous in the shelter but talk to him in a baby voice and you’ll see his tail go crazy with excitement! Do you have the time and love to give this wonderful boy a great home? If so, come meet him today! Emelio is neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. He’s waiting for you at our East Campus adoption center, 1000 Lyndon Lane. For more on Emelio or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502-366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.

Brando is a handsome 10-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat who came to the Kentucky Humane Society when Irma roared through Florida. This gentleman loves nice naps, snuggling with someone who just wants a quick cuddle and soft food. Brando does find high-energy environments stressful, so we would recommend a laidback home for him. Brando is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. He’s waiting for you at our adoption center in the St. Matthews Feeders Supply, 4600 Shelbyville Road. For more on Brando or any of our adoptable pets, please visit kyhumane.org or call 502-366-3355.
