Capture Ideas: York Chester Historic Home Tour 2012

York Chester 2012 Historic Home Candlelight Tour

Kick off the holiday season with this year's York Chester Historic Home Tour on December 1st 2012.  For your inspiration and viewing are six beautifully restored historic homes and Holy Trinity Church.  Spend the evening enjoying warmth, laughter and friendship as you reflect on the beauty of days gone by. 

Tickets are available at Dilworth Drug in Charlotte, Watson Insurance, Torrence Stationery and Rodi.  This years Hospitality Headquarters is sponsored by Rodi and Torrence Stationery & Gifts.  Advance tickets will be exchanged for a Tour Program at the Hospitality Headquarters on the night of the program.  Refreshments and Seasonal entertainment will be on hand at the headquarters located in the Rodi Atrium, 245 West Garrison Boulevard in Gastonia, North Carolina.  Proceeds from this years tickets sales will benefit Gaston Hospice.

Beautifully rendered drawings by the artist Tucker Cole are pictured above.  The individual drawings of the historic homes will be presented as gifts to the homeowners. It is a gift to all of us that they open up their homes for everyone to enjoy!

There Is A Lot Going On In This Little Harlot Town

Wow! Who knew Charlotte would get so much national attention.  .  .AGAIN! Yes, The Democratic National Convention was quite the Political Party, but darn it was nothing like the paparazzi like news crews staking out our precious neighborhood Dilworth.

Even more exciting (to me of course) is that The Novogratz will be at the Mint Museum tonight presenting the series: Home by Novogratz.   The ultra cool Robert and Courtney and there SEVEN kids fascinated many of us (and me!)  with their design talents on HGTV's show The Novogratz. 

The event starts TONIGHT at 7pm and admission is $5 for members and $10 for non-member.

Click The Novogratz for more information on tickets.

Also going on in Harlot Town is Judith Voglesonger's JWVArtist's November show. The show started yesterday Wednesday November 14th and goes through Friday November 16th. 

Judith turns her gorgeous home into a personal gallery for all to enjoy! It is definitely a must if you are in the art market or are thinking about purchasing art in the future!

Hope to see you all tonight at The Mint Museum Uptown and tomorrow at JWV Artists!
