Join us as we usher in the New Year with a bevy of antiques, cozy locales, and heartwarming stories. This year, we welcome back a favored column, A Walk to the Mailbox, with readers sharing their most prized collectibles. Garner inspiration from contributing editor Lydia Menzies’s Valentine’s Day gathering, a tribute to her family’s love. Through a richly hued Dutch Masters tablescape, Creative Director Melissa Sturdivant Smith displays treasured finds from her travels. Escape to Fairhope, Alabama, for an antiquing tour or retreat to the Omni Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia, for a relaxing stay. Contributing editors Cheri Leavy and Whitney Long of The Southern C introduce us to three impassioned entrepreneurs. Revel in the novelty of a fresh start this season, taking time to breathe life into our beloved vintage wares.
