Cotton

Ferns that grow on the elms..turn bright green with rain and dark brown like the trunk when there hasn't been rain.

Over all it was a great time and i'm glad i went.  It had a butterfly garden with i will look forward to going to in the spring.  I learned a lot about the plantation and the inside of the house was AMAZING.  Unfortunately we weren't allow to take pictures inside :( 
The house has been in a few movies that you might of heard of...The Notebook, North and South, and Queen. 
The gardens looked so neat, of course now is not the time to take pictures because nothing is in bloom, but i will be back to capture that this spring ;)

Saturday Purchase



Since we were downtown Charleston on Saturday, right across from the restaurant we went to lunch at had a small arts and crafts store with all local artists in the surrounding area.  I found a neat vase to add to my collection.  I love blue so i think it well with the other blue hues i've accumulated over the years!

Saturday

















So on Saturday it was such a nice day that we headed downtown and i took a handful of pictures that i thought were neat.  Just some of the local things nearby that represent Charleston.
