Looking out my window at all the new growth on the trees and boxwoods brings me such joy. Spring is always a time of rebirth and renewal—the days are longer, and the buds are emerging all over. My bird feeders have so many chickadees, bluebirds, cardinals and nuthatches. Their songs bring such music to the air. If I could just keep the pesky squirrels at bay! Currently, we are having a turf war, but I know I will prevail.
Interiors
In this issue, we feature the beautiful seaside village of Båstad, Sweden. Charlotte resident and Swell Décor owner Angie Persson shares her vacation home in this idyllic setting and also provides travel tips in our Insiders’ Guide.
Gardens
If you visit Båstad, don’t miss the glorious Norrviken, a magnificent park that includes beautiful gardens and houses. “Armchair travelers” can enjoy it too in our Gardens feature.
Entertaining
In this issue’s Entertaining section, we spotlight this spring’s “Come to the Table” event in Charlotte. I’m
so happy my sister, Corbin, was able to attend with me. Author Ruth McKeaney wowed attendees with her stories about raising five children, completing a renovation on a 300-year-old home and writing her book, Hungry for Home: A Year Together at Hillside Farm. Peachy’s tablescape at the charity event was amazing. Tam and I collaborated on the table décor with Elizabeth Bruns, Inc. and Laura Hughes of City Stems. Don’t miss our Q&A with Ruth about the inspiration behind her book.
As always, there are plenty of spring fashion ideas and must-have beauty picks in this issue too—enjoy!
Cheers!
