We arrived in Charleston, South Carolina late Saturday. While on vacation, over the next week, I will be mixing up vacation photos and sewing/quilting projects that I am finishing (with those 4 hours a day ;-)). So far:
- We spent 1 day at the beach, close to our rental – Seabrook Island which was great as it has one side on the Atlantic and the other side in a coastal lagoon – perfect for kids.
- Today, we got in our first part of sight-seeing in, we went to Angel Oak Tree, an oak tree that has been aged to be greater than 400-500 years old (shown in the pictures below). We also visited Downtown Charleston where we went on a Horse drawn city tour and visited Old Market City. We really enjoyed the city tour with the horse-drawn carriage and the knowledgeable guide. I would recommend Old South Carriage Co. for the tours around Charleston.
- Here’s a sneak peek of one of the sewing projects I finished yesterday. I have 2 fabric give aways later this week, sponsored by Jumping Birds…come back Friday. These are perfect for going back to school projects.
Factotum of Arts 
Don’t you love Old Charleston. I can’t remember how many wedding couples and senior pictures I’ve seen photographed by that tree. Sneaky people getting around the crowds and such to do it. Hope your 4 hours a day has been productive and that the weather holds out for the rest of the week.
It is a wonderful place, I will visit again. The weather is still holding out, only 2 days left 🙂
My husband and I became engaged at Seabrook Island–lovely place. We will celebrate our 27th anniversary next month!
Lovely place, amazing 27 years!! My husband and I will be celebrating 8 years next month. August is a great month for celebrations.
Well, congratulations to you! Enjoy your special time in that special place.
Thank you 🙂
The triple zip looks adorable! Love those tiny little apples!
What an interesting/beautiful tree. I can see why the commenter above mentioned a lot of people getting wedding photos taken there, it looks perfect for something like that, just dramatically beautiful.
Thank you, the fabric is wonderful and from a independent designer which makes it even more fun, some up for grabs later this week.
Charleston has the best oak trees and spanish moss….wonderfully dramatic.
I saw the signs around the tree and thought they were canvases and was mad for just a second I couldn’t see the paintings! Looks like a lovely time!
nope unfortunately signs to not climb on the tree which Sean was not happy about….you can understand look at how great that tree would be for climbing 😀
