Earlier this holiday season, I read about a thing called "fruit fans" over doors. I'd never seen this anywhere in Charleston. While out walking one day, lo and behold, there was one! LOL

Happy New Year, Debbie. Years ago, I had a subscription to Southern Living (loved the easy, tasty food recipes) and it often featured a home with the fruit fan above the door. It is so lovely and am surprised that you could not find one in beautiful Charleston.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Debbie!!
ReplyDeleteI've seen fruit fans before. Not many, though. In Highland Park at Christmas one year we were looking at all the lights and saw a few above doors of some stately old homes. Beautiful! Bet they don't last long though, since it's real fruit.
Pretty fruit fan but man we would have fruit flies if we hung something like that! We stayed in on New Years as well. I watched the Twilight Zone marathon while my husband snoozed on the couch haha I woke him up at midnight so we can toast to the new year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!!!

How pretty! It's fun to see something out of the ordinary! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Take care my friend. I'm thinking about you and hope you are well. Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI have visions of birds flocking to that fruit:) Sorry you weren't able to go out as planned for New Years Eve:( but wish you a happy new year.
ReplyDeleteand a very happy new year to you as well! What a wonderful photo selection to start a new year with!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Debbi! I like those fruit fans. But how do they attach them I wonder?
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming old idea,something the rich would do with excess fruit back in the late 1800's maybe?
ReplyDeleteI love the south and her mansions
