I launched Southern Hospitality at Home: The Art of Gracious Living in my beloved hometown of Charleston last week with a party at Mrs. Whaley’s Garden . . . the most magical of all Charleston’s walled gardens. I’ve heard it was a wonderful party, although I never left my signing table. What I do know is that Southern peach punch was imbibed by a gathering of Charleston’s most delightful design-minded people amid the foliage of fall flowers beneath a rising full moon. Sadly, the garden wasn’t large enough to accommodate all whom I’d hoped could attend, so I promise another party soon, equally delightful but in a different way. Just as this party was charming and gardenesque, the next one will be sophisticated and urbane. Stay tuned for details. Come to get your signed copy.
