French toast made with brioche bread, layered with fried Granny Smith apples, and hickory smoked bacon to round out this morning’s Southern breakfast. #breakfast #frenchtoast #grannysmithapples #hickorysmokedbacon #maplepecansyrup
Granny Smith apples fried in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg are the perfect compliment to French toast.

On this Sunday, Paul and I give thanks for a fulfilled vision which initially was conceived in 2013 shortly after restoring Clevedale. “Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams according to your vision and purpose instead of the expectations and opinions of others,” Roy T. Bennett.

I want to do something innovative and different but all I seem to be getting is "questions" and "red flags," just as I experienced when dreaming Clevedale. While sticking to my dream and trying to figure out how it can be done, on this International Girls Day, I wish my mom were here for a dialog. She was my greatest champion. Love and miss you Geneva Watkins!
Just two years ago, we grew our own pumpkins for decorating. #pumpkins #pumpkinseason #clevedaleinn #southernliving #scliving #lovewhereyoulive #onespartanburg #bedandbreakfast

It began with a beautiful starry night in Clevedale’s Pecan Grove. We added some rocking good music by Back9, a smoked pig by Pappagoochie, beverages from Budweiser and Bond Street Wines, and a great group of dancing feet Spartans.

The beauty of the harp - “Life is like the harp string, if it is strung too tight it won't play, if it is too loose it hangs, the tension that produces the beautiful sound lies in the middle.” Such is married life. #clevedaleweddings #clevedaleinn #weddingday #thegreenhouse #greenhousewedding #erinhansen

Persimmons from harvest to jelly... #persimmons #jelly #clevedaleinn #southernliving #scliving #lovewhereyoulive #homemade #breakfast #biscuitsandjelly
The persimmon jelly process has begun after picking, cleaning, drying, and ripening. Think of a breakfast with biscuits, bacon or ham, and persimmon jelly!

The persimmon fest continues with a persimmon bread. The key is allowing the persimmons to become “over ripe” to the point that it’s like jelly to the touch. Vanilla bean ice cream and warmed bourbon might be a consideration for dessert consumption. Bourbon honey glaze drizzled on a slice is our recommendation for breakfast. #clevedaleinn #clevedalebreakfast #breakfast #homemadebreads #southernliving #scliving #southcarolinaliving #discoversc #persimmons #persimmonbread

Archangel Sandalphon, known as the angel of music, is said to rule over music in heaven while helping people on Earth use music to communicate with God in prayer. Thus, “those who sing, pray twice.” (St Augustine) #angel #sandalphon #angelofmusic #music #christmas #merrychristmas #clevedaleinn #angelswehaveheardonhigh #clevedalehistoricinnandgardens #discover_sc #discoversc #hospitality #bedandbreakfast #bnb #scliving #southernliving
This angel sings “Silent Night,” a popular Christmas carol composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr touching people from all nations and cultures. The carol expresses the deepest reflection and spiritual longing for peace. #silentnight #christmascarol #franzxavergruber #josephmohr #peace #angels #christmas #clevedaleinn #clevedalehistoricinnandgardens #peace #2021
“Angels, we have heard on high...” These messengers of the creator are fascinating.

Day 3 of Kwanzaa is Ujima, “collective work and responsibility” as put into action by groups that provide food, shelter, and clothing for area families and our newly formed One Spartanburg Inc seeking to build a vibrant community via business, economic and tourism development. I chose to feature this wooden angel as the adornment on her dress is similar to the symbol for Ujima. #kwanzaa #kwanzaaprinciples #ujima #nonprofitgroups #onespartanburginc #theresonlyonespartanburg #lovewhereyoulive #supportlocal #christmasangel #clevedaleinn
Self Determination, an inner drive that focuses you on a goal which drowns out “No,” so you can hear “Yes” clearly. So I share this wooden angel with her mouth wide open proclaiming hope, the strength of one’s desire on Day 2 of Kwanzaa. #kwanzaa #selfdetermination #yesyoucan #christmasangel #clevedaleinn #bnb #bedandbreakfast #retreat
It’s the 1st day of Kwanzaa, a day celebrating unity.

Did you know the most popular tree topper is the angel? People began placing angels on the top of trees to celebrate Jesus’ birth as they appeared high in the sky on the 1st Christmas.

A vintage white doily was crafted to make this angel with curly locks which I named “Precious.” She reminds me of my grandmother who used doilies to preserve the wood furniture, draped them over the arms of chairs to keep the upholstery from getting soiled, and on Women’s Day at church wore it like a hat. #angel #christmasangel #christmasornaments #christmastree #clevedaleinn #doillies #handmade #preciousmemories #clevedaleinn #wherehistorymeetshospitality #clevedalehistoricinnandgardens #bedandbreakfast #bnb
Her name is “Remembrance” by artist Susan Lordi whose signature is to use gestures like the a tilt of the head, hand placement, the turn of the body, and a well placed heart to communicate peace and serenity. #angel #angelofpeace #susanlordi #willowtree #christmas #clevedaleinn #merrychristmas #tistheseason
The final angel in our series, handmade of vintage damask fabric, pearls, and a metal trumpet, sounding out the old and announcing all things anew. Welcome 2021 and to all a Happy, Healthy, and Hope-filled New Year! #happynewyear #christmasangel #hope #handmadeornament #clevedaleinn #christmastime

Have you seen the musical, The Wiz? One of the final scenes is Glinda, the good witch dressed in white singing “Believe,” which is the practice of the 7th principle of Kwanzaa - IMANI (Faith). This angel made of shells reminds me of Glinda urging us in song to believe in ourselves and in the victory of our struggles. #faith #imani #kwanzaa #christmasangel #clevedaleinn #onespartanburginc #discoversc #scliving #southernliving #bnb #bedandbreakfast
The creativity expressed in this metal angel by a Washington National Cathedral artist is the focus of day 6 of Kwanzaa, “Kuumba meaning creativity” in Swahili. 2020 has been the year to be creative personally, spiritually, communally, and commercially.

A recent post acknowledged the loss of time, special dates, and holidays amid the chaos we've been experiencing. While reading The Book of Joy 's chapter on "Perspective," I reflected on the life of Dr Martin Luther King Jr, one who was a beacon (a light set high as a signal or celebration) of hope (to cherish a desire with anticipation). Dare we vow to and be that light signaling joy. #MLK #January #thebookofjoy #perspective #reflection #beaconofhope #joy

I usually leave marriage counseling to my husband Paul and other practitioners. However, today’s take away from The Book of Joy is worthy of sharing to the many couples who have sealed their pledge of love here at Clevedale and to others - “Marriages, even the best ones — perhaps especially the best ones — are an ongoing process of spoken and unspoken forgiveness.” #thebookofjoy #marriage #love #forgiveness #clevedaleinn #marriagecounseling
Let us embody this African proverb...
