I hope you are not tired of our trip photos because
I wanted to share a few shots of beautiful Charleston.
We have been to Charleston a few times before so
this time we just took a day trip up from Beaufort S.C.
We took a horse and carriage ride here again as well.
the houses are colorful.
is all the beautiful gardens and fences.
we spent an enjoyable week last time.
It is called the Aiken Mansion~perfect
for us!
as I would have liked so I am sharing a
few I took before.
just outside Charleston.
If you ever get the chance to go to Charleston, take it as Iam sure you will love it!
On a different note for any interested Islanders

following shops:
Emmett & Ellie's on University Ave.
Time Worn Treasures and Antiques St. Peter's Rd.

It might be an idea for Mother's Day!!!
Also available through Magcloud for
anyone else.
Linda at Beautiful Ideas is hosting an online tea
party fundraiser for breast cancer .....check

Thank you for visiting,

Your pictures make me want to get and my van and head down there. So beautiful! Magnolia Plantation looks like a gorgeous place. Maybe someday... Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteI only know Charleston through the eyes of Theodosia Browning - that is through Laura Child's Tea Murder Mystery books and her fictitious Indigo Tea Room. Your photos are lovely of the "real" place!
ReplyDeleteCharleston is my favorite city in the U.S. I haven't been there for quite a few years, so thank you for sharing your lovely pictures. I so agree, their fences, gates, and gardens are so beautiful. You are so lucky to have been there during azalea time as it seems the whole city is abloom.

Chère Carolyn, merci pour le joli voyage‿✿
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I spent part of our honeymoon in Charleston, and we loved it! We don't buy much artwork, but we have 2 Jim Booth prints of Charleston hanging in our home. Please share all of the photos of that gorgeous city you want!
ReplyDeleteOlá Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteFico encantada com os locais que você visita, é realmente um espetáculo de colorido e flores.
Um ótimo local para férias, vou começar a sonhar e se possível fazer com que ele se realize, rsrsrs...
Na próxima semana estarei comprando seu livro, não posso deixar de tê-lo, são lembranças inesquecíveis.
Fique em paz e desfrute da próxima temporada, nos proporcionando fotos maravilhosas.
Um beijo.
Lauriane
It's been on my list of places to visit for some time now. I think it is a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the photos!

Seems like Charleston is a Beautiful Town. Would be nice to visit it and see all the wonderful houses etc.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
Love Elzie
Definitely on my list of places to go, and your pics make me want to move it right to the top.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Charleston! It looks like a little village in Europe, I definitely have to go there
ReplyDeleteI have never been to North Carolina, Carolyn, so especially loved your tour. Charleston ooks like a lovely place. Thank you so much. Susan
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I have avoided the south because I hate the heat, but maybe I should reconsider. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoying seeing all your trip photos!!
Such lovely pictures! Great ideas to share, I appreciate them all!
ReplyDeleteCome for a visit....

Hi Carolyn, wow! this certainly jumped out at me because these are the neighborhood streets I walk regularly!
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job of capturing our beautiful and historic Charleston! I wish I'd known you were in the area, I would loved to have shown you around!
It's so odd that we were in Charleston the same day I think! Your photos are beautiful. I too tend to take fence photos. And we may have taken the same wisteria photo! I hope you saw my post on your book. I am enjoying it. Have a nice weekend,
ReplyDeleteI loved Charleston when we visited there about 6 years ago. I brought home a painting of one of those colorful houses. It hangs in our bedroom. It was yellow and red, of course.

Charleston looks like the sort of town, that I love. I have heard many stories of it's beauty in Holland as well.
ReplyDeleteHave you visited mrs Whaley's garden? She passed away a few years ago, but I wonder if her garden is still there.
Happy weekend!

I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! its colors, energy, optimism and beauty:) You live in the most charming place I've always wnted to visit:)and your garden is just stunning:)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from sunny Poland:)))
Your pics of Charleston - could never get sick of seeing them. I have always wanted to go there - nearly did when I made it to Savannah but didn't get to Charleston.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite close tea society "sisters" lives near there and is always wanting the rest of us to come down. Was going to early spring this year but a family member turned ill and I have been her caregiver......so hopefully next year for sure when everything is in full bloom and not yet too hot!
And for anyone reading comments - I *highly* suggest buying Carolyn's book - it is GORGEOUS! And it makes a very nice gift for someone special for sure!
Carolyn, is there a chance you are related to the owners of Aiken Mansion? That is such a unique name- just wondering.
Happy Mother's Day to you. Hugs.
Just loved your pics!My parents have a home in Mt Pleasant and I go there as much as possible! Go to Middleton Plantation next time! It is by far the most beautiful one. I'll be posting pics on my blog this week,I was just there the first of April when all the buds were bursting open!
ReplyDeleteIts just heaven there isn't it!

I love Charleston and your photos really show off it's beauty. Have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteWe saw some of the same things but my photography isn't as good as yours. We did have a lovely time though. The horse and carriage ride was so nice and I saw Rainbow Row. Loved all the soft colors and verandas everywhere.
Thank you for the nice reminder.
Janice

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pix; we were there years ago and loved it! One of my favorite things were the colored row houses so it was fun to see those on your blog. Happy Summer.
ReplyDeleteI recently moved to Charlotte and have been planning to visit Charleston ever since I came to NC. Can you please suggest the best time to visit Charleston. I wish to see the same view as captured in the beautiful pictures here :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
