Celebrating Home A Time For Every Season by James T. Farmer III

It has been said that in the South, nothing is too insignificant to celebrate. From the blooming of a camellia to birthdays to holidays proper, the hallmark of Southern hospitality is always welcoming and gracious. Whether impromptu or planned, in the garden, on the porch, or in the dining room, inspired by the season or tradition, you'll find that celebrating home combines the elements for which James Farmer is known.

In the pages of Celebrating Home, you'll see how James celebrates life at his two homes: Farmdale in his hometown of Perry, Georgia, and Joe Pye Cottage in the mountains of Cashiers, North Carolina. Whether creating arrangements from his gardens or using glassware that belonged to his mother, James draws inspiration from family heritage, seasonal gardens, and traditional decor. Through stories and pictures, James takes the reader on a tour of his homes and gardens, with table settings for celebratory occasions throughout the year. Decor for his Winter Dinner, Camellia Celebration, Feast Among the Foxgloves, Birthday Dinner, Alfresco Fall Dinner, Dahlia Dinner, Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings, and more will inspire readers to mark each passing season with their loved ones in observance of the small joys that truly make our lives big.
