  1. Thank you so much! Love your Low-country oyster roast. I've always said that when I die and go to heaven, there will be a table full of oysters and a cute man by my side shucking them for me! My parents always have one the day after Thanksgiving at their home at Pawley's. Love that tradition as do my young sons who have developed quite the taste!

  2. You're so welcome :)

    That's really great about the Thanksgiving-time oyster roast on Pawley's with your family....what a great tradition! When my mother was alive, we did a Christmas Day afternoon one each year here but it's too memory-laden now to continue.

    Last year in his Christmas stocking, James found an antler-handled engraved oyster knife with its own leather holder for his belt from "Santa", er me, and this was a huge hit with him. He's been putting it to use... A neat store here in town carries these oyster knives whenever the man who makes them does some more: Bay Street Outfitters. (Info in case you don't have something like this and need a fun stocking stuffer ;)

    Best, Lachlan

  8. Hello The enchanted home :) Thx for your post and that will indeed be a fun job...so many great bloggers out there now! I enjoyed checking out your blog and have become a "Follower" on it- can't wait to see how your dream house unfolds its beautiful self...enchanting indeed!!! Our's will be a bit longer in the making since we're not there quite yet since "there" is the lowcountry southern farmhouse (double-pillared porches n' such) my husband sooo desires set out in the middle of his long-time family land in the literal middle of nowhere-mid-South Carolina ;) Umm, I'm thinking this'll happen much closer to retirement years for us and since we're both in our mid-40's.........haha!
    All the best to you, Lachlan
