Our French-Inspired Day in Charleston

Published on May 30, 2022May 30, 2022 by Amy ProbinLeave a comment

I’ve said before that one of the greatest characteristics of Charleston is the breadth of its history. Charleston has been shaped by so many people from all over the world as they’ve uprooted and moved to this small peninsula. A few weeks ago we decided to spend an entire day downtown focusing on just one contributor to Charleston’s elaborate tapestry: the French! You can follow along in our footsteps to plan out your own French inspired day downtown…

Tucked away on 21 Burns Lane, just off of busy King Street, sits a pretty, pink building which is home to a store called The Hidden Countship. Possibly the only indication of what you’ll find on the inside is the Italian flag waving proudly just above the door.

When Autumn Comes To Charleston

Published on November 26, 2021January 23, 2022 by Amy Probin3 Comments

I didn’t want the title for this post to be too long, but I feel like a more complete name for it would be “When Autumn Comes To Charleston: Falling In Love”. All kinds of pun intended. Charleston may be a city that tends to be more associated with the summer months because of the beach, the heat, the flowy southern dresses, and outdoor markets, but a really magical transformation happens when Autumn finally arrives.

For my very first blog post I’ve decided to write about a day out we had last weekend at Sullivan’s Island because it perfectly combines the beautiful Charleston scenery with something our family loves to do – picnicking! We are a picnic loving crew and I am on a lifelong mission to perfect the art of the picnic. My husband Jamie is from England, and while America’s past time might be baseball, I’d swear that for the English it’s picnicking. Jamie’s family even used to take a portable picnic table with them on vacations. I’ve seen pictures; otherwise, I wouldn’t believe it. Although even the English would say that no one does picnics better than the French. Or maybe that’s just the ones who haven’t been to the South.
