A Charleston Christmas

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many of my favorite photos were taken from <i>Southern Accents</i>, which ceased publication in 2009. I found the following pictures while looking through my clippings file for holiday inspiration. I love adding greenery and berries to mercury glass containers or antique bottles, which Becky Davis of <a href="http://bdbotanicals.com/">Becky Davis Botanicals</a> has done in the Charleston, South Carolina home depicted below. If you would like to see more of her work, my September 27th blog post "<a href="http://aflippenlife.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-touch-of-green.html">A Touch of Green</a>" highlights <a href="http://gardenandgun.com/article/pressed-botanical-art">her recent feature in Garden and Gun</a> (October/November 2012). The Christmas decorations in the following photos complement the historic house and collections of interior decorator <a href="http://jackyelanham.com/">Jackye Lanham</a>. The space she has created is both elegant and welcoming - the perfect Southern home.
