HAVE YOU MET SHERRY?
SHERRY IS MAKING A STIR in the cocktail world. It’s one of the oldest wine categories and has been reimagined by modern bartenders who love it for all the same reasons I do. It comes in a range of styles and is incredibly versatile—from tapas pairing to my favorite recipe for seafood bisque. So, what […]

Versatile Viburnum
I can’t figure out why people aren’t as smitten with viburnum as I am. It is mostly an evergreen shrub, blooms from late winter to early spring and comes in over 120 species plus numerous varieties. Several cheerfully embrace our sultry summers, and mostly ignore an occasional bone-chilling winter. Yet, I seldom see viburnum in Charleston landscapes and this drives me nuts.
PRESERVING THE LEGACY
Recently, we had the pleasure to tour the College of Charleston’s Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture, truly a cultural gem. The Center’s mission is to collect, preserve and promote the unique history and culture of African Americans, with an emphasis on Charleston and the South Carolina Lowcountry.
LANDFALLS in PARADISE
Having read books such as Thor Heyerdahl’s Kon-Tiki, Herman Melville’s Typee and others at a young age, we’d dreamed for years of visiting French Polynesia—five island groups located midway between California and New Zealand that, for many, are the ultimate “escapist” destination.
ONCE AND AGAIN
Twenty years ago, Jane Jilich stood in a historic home designed by Charleston architects Albert Simons and Samuel Lapham and remade it for a Charleston family in an elegant, understated, summery style that resonated with their easy approach to living.
WELL COLLECTED
It was a once-in-a-lifetime find—an undeveloped spit of land at Garden City Beach with a magnificent 270-degree view that includes beachfront, open marshlands and the historic seaside town of Murrells Inlet.
IN PERFECT HARMONY
Charleston designer Quincy Forester’s affinity for the industry came rather unexpectedly. Though the Myrtle Beach native grew up with a building-enthused mother, the spark didn’t start to catch fire for Forester until she was a newlywed, many moons ago, renovating her first house, a Charleston single on Queen Street.
