Southern Lady March/April 2019

There’s just nothing like a Southern springtime. With its brilliant colors and exquisite flowers, it feels like one big celebration, and indeed, entertaining is the thread that ties these pages together: hostess essentials, elegant fare, glorious tablescapes. Anticipated annual features like Party Time and New Look for Old China are back in all their tabletop grandeur. And what would Southern entertaining be without an abundance of scrumptious food for all to enjoy? This issue is packed with recipes sure to leave a lasting impression, from roundups of tasty appetizers and themed party menus to a traditional Easter dinner. And while Southern ladies love to play hostess, be sure to set aside time for yourself, perhaps with a delightful getaway. Journey with us to a couple stops in South Carolina, and continue on our Southern Literary Trail with a visit to New Orleans. Wherever you spend the season, savor these beautiful, blossoming days of spring!
