A SPECIAL HOME AT DeBORDIEU
As always, I remain bullish on the beauty and style of DeBordieu. I now have the privilege of listing one of our lovely oceanfront
homes; one which truly reflects the commitment DeBordieu owners make to this very special community. Homes such as this reinforce my belief that nowhere on the Eastern Seaboard is there a place quite as
special. I will have detailed information and photos on the new listing
available shortly on our DeBordieu website; however, in the meantime if you
have any questions, please give me a call.Tuesday, November 26, 2013
A SEASON OF THANKS AND THANKS FOR NATURE'S BEAUTY
CELEBRATING NATURE'S BEAUTY
We all say that during the Holidays as families and friends gather at homes and reunions to enjoy the company of family members, celebrate another Christmas season, and raise a glass in toast to those who are no longer with us. At DeBordieu, it is also a time for reflection about our wonderful community and the natural beauty that surrounds us. As many families gather at DeBordieu for Thanksgiving and beyond, I do hope we will take a moment to remember what brought us here, and continue the commitment to preserve and protect for future generations one of the most wonderful places we could ever wish to be.

IT'S STILL HOT, BUT FALL IS COMING SOON.......
The summer is winding down and it's time to start looking ahead to some of the wonderful Fall activities that take place annually here at the beach. On of the most exciting events is the PAWLEYS ISLAND FESTIVAL OF MUSIC AND ART. This festival is now in its 23rd year and has proudly been bringing wonderful entertainment, art exhibits, and other events to the area. More and more DeBordieu property owners are making this an important part of their weekends and are inviting friends and family to participate. Below is a breakdown of this year's Festival and I believe there are many events for everyone. Please contact me or the Festival office for more details.
The Pawley’s Island Festival of Music and Art 2013
The Pawleys Island Festival of Music and Art (PIFMA) for 2013 is almost here! This year it runs from September 19th through October 12th and has ten special events: from music to shopping to art to family events, something for everyone! To make reservations for any event, please call 843-626-8911 or click on PIFMA.
The Festival opens with The Wearable Art Luncheon at Tommy Bahama Restaurant, Market Common. While enjoying a great lunch, you will be entertained by a strolling fashion show which will feature the hot new trends as well as wearable art and jewelry from local artists! You can also shop for unique art, jewelry, hats, scarves and fabulous gifts in the silent auction. The event is a fundraiser for the festival and 50% of the net proceeds help fund the Kathryn Bryan Metts Visual Arts Scholarship.
The Pawleys Island Wine Gala: Sample wines from over 70 renowned wineries and enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres. Wines will be available for purchase at prices well below retail during this special event. Live entertainment, a silent auction and complimentary dessert tasting will wrap up the evening. This event is the event’s primary fundraiser.
On Saturday, October 5, enjoy Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr., originally of the 5th Dimension. They have enjoyed tremendous success through the years as recording artists, performers and authors. They have received 7 Grammy Awards and earned 15 gold and 3 platinum records, and enjoyed starring roles on television and stage. They are currently celebrating 40 years in the entertainment business with a musical tribute to the hits and productions that have made up their multi-faceted careers.
On Sunday, October 6th, Elise Testone will perform as a Teach My People Collaborative Fundraiser. She is a singer and songwriter from New Jersey and a graduate of CCU, who has spent the past year embarking on an ambitious journey competing on the 11th Season of the reality television show, American Idol. Since completing her American Idol journey, Testone’s main focus is to record her first studio album. Her Piano, Guitar and Percussion skills help aid her in the production of her original compositions. She continues to perform throughout the country today.
On Wednesday, October 9th, Pianist Emile Pandolfi will feature lush arrangements of time-honored popular standards and Broadway hits, seasoned with a dash of well-known classical favorites and fresh, just-discovered gems. The night is far from a straight-laced piano “recital.” Count on his trademark quips of humor & comedy to find their way into the musical mix, and lovely guest vocalist Dana Russell adds a delicious and impressive bonus to a truly magical recipe.
Vivace is an Operatic Pop vocal quartet made up of Melody Mercredi, Tiffany Desrosiers, Marc Devigne and DJ Calhoun. Vivace (pronounced vi-va-chay) means vivid, lively and full of vivaciousness. Based out of Vancouver, Canada and formed in 2010, they have toured extensively through the US and Canada and performed at such events as the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Each singer, well experienced, and bursting with passion and talent, brings a particular element to the group.
On Friday, October 11, favorite from last year, Mac Arnold & Plate Full O’ Blues will perform. His high school band “J Floyd & The Shamrocks” was often joined by, none other than James Brown on piano. After deciding to pursue a professional music career, he joined the Charles Miller group until 1965 when he made the move to Chicago to work with recording artist/saxophonist A.C. Reed. In late 1966, at age 24, came the opportunity of a lifetime to join the Muddy Waters Band and help shape the electric blues sound that inspired the rock and roll movement of the late 60’s and early 70’s.
The Movin’ Out Band is the smokin’ original band from the Tony Award-winning, Grammy nominated Broadway musical, “Movin’ Out.” The Movin’ Out Band includes several members of Billy Joel’s own band and is fronted by the incredibly talented pianist and vocalist Wade Preston, the original “Piano Man” in the hit musical, hand-selected by Billy Joel himself. A Movin’ Out Band show is a fun, upbeat event featuring the best of Billy Joel’s great classic rock music that audiences love and sing along to.
Join the community for the 1st Annual Seaside Palette-en Plein Air. Talented artists and their students will be demonstrating their incredible artistry all over the Lowcountry. Placed throughout the area from Murrells Inlet to Georgetown, view beautiful artwork actually being created outdoors for your viewing pleasure. Plein air is a term derived from the French phrase en plein air, which literally means ‘in the open air’. It’s a familiar concept today, but in the late 1800s when the Impressionists ventured out of their studios into nature to investigate and capture the effects of sunlight and different times of days on a subject, it was quite revolutionary.
Chalk Under the Oaks, the Italian tradition of Street painting, will present painters from beginners to professionals. Street painting dates to the 16th century when artists would travel from town to town for religious festivals and transform the streets and public squares into temporary galleries for their works. The Pawleys Island Festival of Music and Art brings this event to the Lowcountry as a way to teach and promote the history of this lost art to all ages and levels of artists. Chalk Under the Oaks provides a wonderful way for people in the community to share a great experience together.
