colleague and friend Peter Schaudt and
partner Douglas Hoerr. The garden
designed by Abie Baldwin features
breathtaking lake views across the
infinity pool. The color of the pool
replicates Lake Michigan.
Kelly Golden of Neapolitan Collection
shares her incredible sense of style as
she showcases the fashion trends for
spring. Tamberlyn Dobrowski presents
refreshing and crisp citrus salads, an
appropriate way to usher in spring!
And we have included another spring
delight: Peachy’s favorite grapefruit
and avocado salad recipe.
I was blessed to be able to speak to
The Southern Alliance about Peachy
the Magazine. This group gathers once
a month for lunch at a member’s home.
The only requirement is that you hail
from a Southern State. Incredibly, the
group’s philanthropic endeavor benefits
the Crossnore School, which serves children in need who are living in North
Carolina. Laura Thompson expands on
this connection in her Inspire Column.
I was introduced to Winifred Gundeck,
a jewelry designer whose work I fell in
love with. Pulling from the clean lines
of modernism and principles of form
and function, she designs pieces that
are inspired by vintage masters such as
Cartier and Alexander Calder. Winifred
says: “To me, nothing is more fascinating than a beautifully hand-crafted
piece of hardware.” She makes this the
focal point of her designs, which honor
the integrity of its function, such as a
clasp being the focal point of a bangle.
All pieces are designed in her Chicago
studio and then are produced in a small
workshop outside of Cuernavaca, Mexico. The workshop teaches local women
how to make jewelry, which in turn
allows them to earn an income for the
first time. Their work ethic and attention to detail is impeccable.
These are just a few of the many wonderful offerings we at Peachy have to
share in this month’s issue. So, grab
a cup of tea or coffee and sit back
and enjoy. From here, we travel to
Charlotte in April and Charleston in
June. We have many surprises for the
upcoming issues and throughout the
month, we will be giving sneak peek
