SEWE 2017

Some say that a "day date" isn't as significant or special as a traditional evening-time date.  I say, the day date is absolutely underrated, especially if you're a parent.  Take the day off of work, drop the little one off at school, and set off on a several hour adventure!

The annual Southeastern Wildlife Expo (SEWE) kicked off today and the weather in Charleston is unseasonably warm.  Perfect day date scenario.

Many artists and craftspeople bring their work to SEWE to show and sell.  So many interesting and beautiful things to look at and appreciate.  Here were a few of my favorite -

Oyster Red Fish Brand Belt Buckles at Southeastern Wildlife Expo (SEWE) 2017 | The Lowcountry Lady

These handsome belt buckles are by Red Fish Brand and were part of a display by Grady Ervin & Co.  Also, how cool is the old tackle box they are displayed in?

Chic Verte Oyster Shell Jewelry at Southeastern Wildlife Expo (SEWE) 2017 | The Lowcountry Lady

I've been following Chic Verte on the social medias since SEWE last year.  The oyster shell necklaces are so pretty up close.  I may just have to go back and buy one tomorrow.  The are so very lowcountry, especially in the winter months.

Landrum Tables Fly Rod Table at Southeastern Wildlife Expo (SEWE) 2017 | The Lowcountry Lady

Landrum Tables has been a favorite of mine for a while, but this Fly Rod table is such a unique piece.  My husband would love to have a setup like this one.

John Irwin Fly Fishing Demo at Southeastern Wildlife Expo (SEWE) 2017 | The Lowcountry Lady

Aside from the art, jewelry and whatnot, SEWE also includes lectures, demos & shows.  Today, we caught a fly fishing demo with John Irwin from Charleston Angler.  Stay tuned for an upcoming posts with some of the tips that John shared.

Dock dogs at Southeastern Wildlife Expo (SEWE) 2017 | The Lowcountry Lady

It just wouldn't be SEWE without catching a bit of the dock dogs competition.  The summer-like day in February made it fun to get right up close.

Summerville Flowertown Festival 2016

Summerville Flowertown Festival 2016 | The Lowcountry Lady

It is Flowertown Festival time again!  An annual bit of creative inspiration.  A favorite Lowcountry tradition.  My unofficial start to summer.

It was overcast today, but warm.  And rain threatened all morning, but luckily, it only drizzled for a few minutes while I made my way around.  I walk around quickly until I spot something I like and then take my time.  Too much time.


Several new artists joined the festival this year and some of them brought really great stuff.  Here were a few things that caught my eye...

Summerville Flowertown Festival 2015



Summerville Flowertown Festival 2015 - Egret Painting by Katie Walling Designs | The Lowcountry Lady

It's here again, the Summerville Flowertown Festival!  I love to peruse, people watch & pick out a thing or two to bring home.  I love to start the day early and make the rounds before the best things get picked over and too many people come out.  We were expecting rain this year, but luckily, it held off.

I am always amazed by the creativity and talent at the festival.  Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment.

Summerville Flowertown Festival 2015 - Letter Books | The Lowcountry Lady


I'm seeing these letter shaped books all over the place these days.  One would certainly make a cute personal touch if displayed on a bookshelf in your home.

The very cool piece above is a dog bed... you put a cushion into it.  It could work inside (a rustic styled home) or outside with a cushion made from Sunbrella fabric.  Dave had a table and some other pieces to show too, I just thought this dog bed was so creative.

Ahhhh!  One of my favorite weekends of the year is here again.  The Summerville Flowertown Festival is a sign that spring is really here and warmer weather is on the way. And after the winter we went through - it's about time!


I could spend the entire weekend looking at all the amazing creations at the festival.  I wanted to share a few of the pieces that caught my eye with you.
