Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibit - Day 15 - June 10, 2011

A Day for Friends

Theresa and Cas Caserta
Theresa and Cas live in North Carolina and spent their honeymoon in Charleston 6 years ago.  5 years ago they wandered into my tent at the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibit and we've been friends ever since - they normally come to Charleston at this time of year to celebrate their anniversary, occasionally missing a year  here or there, and I really miss them on those years they can't make it.

They came by this morning, brought me a gift and took me to lunch at Virginia's (get the Fried Green Tomato BLT - it's fabulous!). We had a great visit and they'll come by tomorrow for the Farmer's Market - what a treat to spend part of the day with them!


Lauren Mikell (soon to be Choate) and her mother Debbie

Lauren and Debbie came by for a wedding gift for one of Lauren's friends and to show off "the ring"! The date's not set yet but part of the trip downtown was to scope out reception places and get information.  Congratulations, Lauren!

Cathy Boette 

My friend and patron, Cathy Boette, had a meeting in Charleston and there was a parking place calling out to her as she got close to Marion Square on her way back to Columbia, so we had a nice visit and caught up with each other - this is one of my favorite parts of the Piccolo Spoleto - to see and connect with old friends while making new ones!

Attorney Philip Clarke

Philip Clarke, Charleston Attorney, took time from his law practice, to come by and visit - which I consider quite an honor because I know how busy and focused attorneys are (I know of what I speak since I've been working for attorneys since 1985).
