Christmas with the Angels

Once a year, each of the Angels ‘fly’ in from all over to gather at our family home on the lake. It is the best time of the year because not only do I receive presents, but most importantly I get their presence!

Speaking of presents, here’s a peek of our stock pile before all of the unwrapping madness began.

I have been blessed with so many great gifts this year. Santa has stopped by some of my favorite stores, from Victoria’s Secret and to Lilly Pulitzer to Jack Rogers and more.

My top present picks are: Rose Gold Iphone 6s, Lilly Pulitzer Vest, Jack Rogers Sparkle Sandals,  Tone It Up Bundle, and my Victoria’s Secret Silk Pajamas.

Aside from all the goodies, the biggest treat is truly spending time with friends and family. Not only do we get to gather here at home, but we will also be traveling to Miami for New Years! Stay tuned for our next trip…

No Time Like Tea Time

Every year, the ladies of Rock Hill gather at the Women’s Club for the oh-so elegant, Christmasville Tea. My grandmother has forever been a member of the club, and it is always a treat to make it in town to visit her for the event. I was happy to have my parents join us as well.

Upon entering, we were greeted by charming carolers singing along the stairway. Tables were topped with vintage lace and tasty tea. We were served rounds of savory sweets, starting with biscuits and jam, followed by salty sandwiches, and completed with sweet treats.

I never leave the ladies without a side-trip to the Sugarplum Shop. They have an adorable array of local artwork and gifts, perfect for Santa’s stocking stuffers. This is one of my favorite Christmasville events, and I can’t wait to see what the rest of this holiday season has in store!

Christmasville in Rock Hill

Merry Christmas ‘fur’ one and ‘fur’ all!

I have to say, my favorite place to go this time of year is my hometown for the holidays. Rock Hill, South Carolina is known for their annual ‘Christmasville’ festival, and it is definitely worth the trip!

The city ‘came alive as a charming, picturesque holiday village’ with  fun features ranging from carolers to carriage rides. Fountain Park was sprinkled with holiday cheer complete with a fabulous festival atmosphere.

The best part was dolling up for a stroll downtown. Fuzzy fur vests are a fab winter staple for the day.  At dawn I donned a luxe satin one-shoulder dress, topped with a rich houndstooth coat.

It was such a treat to celebrate the holidays at this 10th annual Christmas celebration in the whimsical world of old town Rock Hill. I hope to see you all there next year!
