Garden Statues and a Tour

Hello,

I loved all the statues that seemed to be in every garden in Charleston and area so I thought you might enjoy seeing a few of my favorite ones too. We went to visit a few plantations nearby and some of these statues were in their magnificent gardens.

I am also taking you on a tour of the Joesph Aiken Mansion( a long lost relative maybe) where we stayed for the week,when we were in Charleston. We were the only ones staying in the house for most of the week so we had the place to ourselves. There is a carriage house behind the house that has four lovely apartments that were filled.

This is the fireplace that was in our bedroom.

a livingroom downstairs.

our bedroom

isn't it elegant?

We weren't a bit cramped!

This was the view of the garden from the side veranda where we enjoyed relaxing.

It was definitely the most elegant place we have ever stayed in and it is walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. I had a peek in the carriage house too and they are lovely one bedroom apartments. So, if any of you are going to Charleston for a visit you might want to check it out.

I hope you enjoyed the tour and are not getting tired of my trip photos-I promise by next week I will have moved on.


Take care,
Carolyn
