My holiday spirit is in full swing! Thanksgiving was wonderful with family in New Orleans and now it’s time to start planning Christmas. The lovely ladies who make up the Cassina Garden Club are helping with that this year in a big way! This coming Saturday, December 6th, is their annual tour of homes on Sea Island!
They’ve been busy little elves making wreaths and all sorts of gift items for the new Christmas Market that will be held at the historic tabby slave cabins. You’ll find all sorts of unique gift items at the market which opens to the public at 9:00 a.m. And don’t forget the annual bake sale that is also open to the public, beginning at the same time. Get there early, I hear all of the goodies sell quickly!
I’m loving these handmade and embellished items, especially the pots with shells added and the lantern with oyster shells afixed to the top!
There are five gorgeous homes on this year’s tour, each given a theme and lovingly decorated by club members. Plan to have lunch or dinner at The Cloister…dinner reservations can be made by calling 888-538-6473 and asking for The Georgian Room. If you’re visiting from out of town Sea Island is offering package deals by calling the same number and asking for details on the Cassina Package. What a fantastic way to ring in the season!
It promises to be an event you’ll never forget this year! You can order tickets on-line here: www.cassinagardenclub.org. for $45.00 each, they will also be available onsite for $50.00. Bus service to visit the homes on Sea Island is available at the Cassina Garden Club site near Epworth. The tour runs from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm so you’ll have plenty of time to shop, see the homes, have lunch and make merry! All proceeds from the tour, market and bake sale go to help raise funds for the restoration of the historic tabby slave cabins.
