A Visit to Charleston SC and a “little” haul

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hello Friends, We just returned from a visit to Charleston, SC where we shopped, ate delicious food, went sightseeing and of course took a carriage ride. I videoed a few snippets of our trip and thought you might want take a peek. If you have never visited Charleston you might want to consider a getaway to the “Holy City” were you can see magnificent homes, churches, architecture and gardens.
I hope you enjoy the video.#charlestongetaway#spring2023#charlestonsc#funtravels2023

    Susan, this gave me a Charleston fix until I can get back. My soul just comes alive in Chaleston. I love the carriage rides and touring all the homes. I have some Charleston art, too. It was so fun seeing what you purchased. My parents went to Charleston on their honeymoon, and they stayed at Folly Beach.

    I’m sitting at our beach house at Edisto watching your video. It’s pronounced Ed-is-to. Our primary home is about 30 miles from Charleston and we always say we need to take more advantage of what it has to offer. There is so much history, beauty and great food. I have a collection of sweet grass baskets, another lowcountry treasure. You found some great purchases. Glad y’all enjoyed your trip ! 💕

    Susan, I live in North Myrtle Beach and visit Charleston yearlyand enjoyed hearing about your visit. Sounds like you had a great getaway. I follow a photographer in Charleston who features great photos of the homes, gates, window boxes and churches every week . Check out his work- his name is Larry Watkins, South Carolina Photographers. Think you would enjoy his pictures and history of the homes and churches. Thanks for sharing your visit. GingerS

    Hi Ginger, I will definitely check out this photographer. The man (author of “Glimpses of Charleston”) is a photographer as well. He has a FB page which is the same title as his book. When I was reading about him I found out he is quite accomplished. He is the head of some preservation foundation (can’t remember the exact name) and has also restored a home in the historic district. I have visited Charleston 4 times and never get tired of seeing the sights and I still have a lot more I want to see, I cam sure you can relate! Thanks for watching!

(we live in Columbia, SC) We just got back from Gettysburg, PA and spent a few days learning about the battle there and stayed at the Federal Pointe Inn. Such a lovely, old building. Very historic. I will be suggesting we go back to Charleston as we do love our day trips. I loved all your goodies! What shop did you find your Rainbow Row art print? That is gorgeous!! Thank you for the lovely tour!

We are planning on going back to Lancaster, PA this fall so maybe we can do an extra day and visit Gettysburg. Both my husband and I love history. Thanks so much for watching.

    I’m so glad that you enjoyed Charleston (despite the flooding rain). We love going up there for long weekends - our favorite hotel is the Mills House on Meeting St. at Queen St. I love shopping at the Market! I always buy some of the handmade sweet grass baskets - I admire the skill and patience it takes to make them. One autumn we were in Charleston and took the boat ride to Ft. Sumter - we nearly froze on the boat, but I loved watching the dolphins playing in the boat’s bow waves. I was reminded of that when I saw your dolphin footage. The books look wonderful! Enjoy!

Speaking of books l love that you met the author in the book store. All the books you bought look great . I always love your show and tell, bc you buy the best things . The footage of the dolphin was fun to watch , l hope the flooding didn’t cause too much damage. This was such a fun video .. could you go to Savannah or Williamsburg next ? Blessings 💕🥰

    Hey Deb, the flood water receded by the following morning. As I was reading “Glimpses of Charleston” I found out the author has a FB page titled the same as the book. I learned he is very accomplished. He is the founder of a Historic Homes Restoration foundation and lives in downtown Charleston. Meeting him was one of those unexpected thrills. There is just never enough time to see it all when we are in Charleston, I told Dan we need to go back next Spring so I can continue to work on my bucket list. We don’t have any plans to go to Savannah any time soon but maybe Brenda and I can wrangle a trip to Tybee Island (just outside of Savannah). I can definitely do a Williamsburg trip but probably in the Fall when it is cooler. I am so glad you enjoyed the video, I know it is not everyone’s cup of tea but I thought I would put it out there anyway. I hope you are having a “beachy” weekend!

I think the old southern architecture is stunning and the painting you got is so pretty. I love the gate prints too. I enjoyed seeing the old lighthouse and watching the dolphin swimming around and fishing. It's nice that you got to see that!
