A couple of weeks ago my business partner, Bevin, and I had a long morning meeting in West Ashley. When it was over it was about lunch time and she wanted to grab a bite at one of her favorite local places. I had never heard of the Bluerose Cafe but love Irish food (notice my red hair - Irish & German I am). The meal was to die for and reasonably priced, but best of all the service and hospitality was some of the best I've had in Charleston.

Always on the lookout for great local restaurants, my husband wanted to try this little place out. We went yesterday and our little group tried a few different selections. He had the fish and chips & said it was the best he's ever eaten! I had the shepard's pie. The sauce was tasty, the peas were fresh... it was yummy! Then my friend, Sue, had the Turkey sandwich with fresh cranberry sauce as one of the fixings!
Afterwards we had fresh peach pie. The chef told us the peaches were fresh from the local farmer's market. Again, supporting the local communities! Yeah! Well, my experience was that this is definately a place to visit if you are looking for a great local restaurant. It's casual, friendly, tasty and inexpensive - what more could you want?

The Bluerose Cafe is located at 652 St. Andrews Blvd, Charleston, SC 29407 (843) 225-BLUE (2583)
Service is:
Breakfast Mon - Fri 7am - 11am, Saturday 7am - noon
Lunch Mon - Fri 11am - 3pm, Saturday 12 - 3pm
Dinner, Wed, Thurs, Fri & Sat 5pm - 9pm.
I'm so excited about this event. I went to a Charleston home show yesterday actually hoping to see a particular vendor, EverGreen Concepts. Unfortunately they werent' there (great disappointment). The good news is that when I decided to look them up online today I found that they are the sponsors of the Charleston Green Fair. I didn't even know we were having a green fair, but I will be there... Here's some of the info I have....
"The purpose of the Charleston Green Fair is to create excitement and enthusiasm for green products, services and technologies available to the residents of the Lowcountry using an environmentally responsible forum of education and entertainment."
There will be food, music and speaches. There will also be fun things for kids - climbing wall, puppet show, demonstrations, etc.
The fair is from 12-6pm at Marion Square in Charleston. Bring the family and learn just a little more on what you can do to help create a sustainable planet!

Sponsors for the Charleston Green Fair
This flyer was supposed to be launched at the 2008 SC Annual Realtor Conference that is being held here in Charleston in September. Bevin & I decided we are just too excited to not begin using it immeditely however. Take a look at it and I'm sure you'll see why we are so thrilled to be putting it out there in the hands of agents & their seller clients....

I think this spells things out perfectly for both sellers and agents. Staging not only helps to sell homes more quickly, but for more money.... something we've been trying to say all along!
Today, driving by Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant SC, my best friend/assistant noticed a sign that had us immediately on the phone with my husband. Larger than life - billboard sized to be exact - was a sign that stated that Boone Hall would be hosting a BBQ and Bluegrass festival that would feature Ralph Stanley & The Cliff Mountain Boys. Ok, to be truthful I didn't know who this was until she said, "You know, that band that sings the song that your husband constantly watches on O' Brother Where Art Thou?" Ok... now I knew exactly what she was talking about!
Apparently they are combining this with some serious barbeque... Now we are talking!! Game on! It's now scheduled tightly into my datebook! Here's the day's itinerary below:
