Southern Lady March/April 2023

Amid spring’s flourishing grandeur, there are so many reasons to celebrate. This issue takes cues from the season’s blossoming beauty and pays tribute to entertaining at its finest. Annual features like “Party Time” and “New Looks for Old China” present table settings that fuse timeless collections with fresh finds, complemented by creative napkin folds and floral displays. Tantalizing recipes for an Easter feast, a posh birthday luncheon, and two alfresco get-togethers will delight savvy hostesses. Tour an Arkansas home where splashes of color highlight stunning architectural details and explore a couple of Southern gems—Cleveland, in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, and charming college town Davidson, North Carolina. We jazz up crawfish-inspired dishes, share ways to repurpose vintage calling card trays, and spotlight women pursuing their dreams through thriving businesses. It’s our hope that every page calls to mind the splendor of gathering in the blissful days to come.
