Spanish Moss at Sunset, Dobbin

Whether you’re seeking to acquire art of enduring quality or simply looking for something beautiful to commemorate your visit to the lowcountry, the Dobbin Gallery at Freshfields is a “must see” while in Charleston.

Dobbin's dog in the gallery!

Now carrying dolma’s Signature and Seasonal Collections, the gallery also features original paintings to suit the discriminating collector. Styles range from classical realism and impressionism to contemporary abstract art. Prices range from $300 to $16,000. Limited edition prints are also available.

Another view of the Gallery!

Highlights of our collection include rare watercolor figurative originals by the late Dutch-American master and premier Charleston watercolorist, Josie Van Gent Edell. We also have a large inventory of her Charleston prints.

Lilly Vase, Franz Porcelain

An extensive selection of internationally acclaimed Franz porcelain is also on display. The Dobbin Gallery joins Harrods of London and Neiman Marcus as exclusive distributors of these exquisite pieces.

Megan Mabry became Megan Madison when she married Mike.

Say that 5 times fast.

A dear friend and fellow fashion-feign, Megan personalized her wedding with attention to accessories! Let’s follow her as she gets ready for her special day. (And take notes!) All photography compliments of Abby Caroline Mimms.

Something (extraordinary!) in blue...

The jewels. (Earrings by dolma!)

The bling.

The dress!

Her side-bun.

For her earrings, Megan wanted a dramatic drop to offset her strapless gown. She requested we add an extra inch to our Savannah Earrings in White and to make them in clips!

Her bouquet.

Her man. (You see, she has good taste in ALL kinds of accessories!)

Now you can find your favorite jewels at Brookhaven’s favorite spot for wallpaper, custom blinds and draperies, shutters, and interior design services!

Kris Hinderliter as owned this adorable shop for eleven years! Swing in for other gifts and antiques as well!

Alison O’Neil, Founder of Beauty Becomes You Foundation, took the afternoon off to meet a friend at Swan Coach House for lunch (in her new CLEARANCE purchases).

But she couldn’t resist coming back for more deals, and brought her friend for round two!

Today we designed some fabulous stretch cocktail rings! I’m convinced we don’t have enough coming in. For sure we’re going to sell them all at our launch party (which we started scheming about today… to be announced very soon!)

We checked in on some designs we were waiting to see, and later headed to a dumplings restaurant to meet my friend in Shanghai and her aunt for soup dumplings, boiled peanuts, fried pork, some greens… (does that sound like a Southern meal in the US or what?!?) I assure you the flavors were different!

Today we designed lots of statement pieces with big, bold center accents. Last season, everything was on the side… but as you’ll see this year, it’s all front and center!

We swung by a Carrefour to grab some bottled waters, a pomelo, red wine, a baguette and some cheese to eat in the hotel.

We also got a reflexology foot massage, which was life changing, but perhaps the reason that we slept from 9pm to 9am… we fell asleep with our clothes on!

We read today in the Shanghai Daily that Shanghai now has a one-dog policy. Quite interesting. But the good news is, if you already have more than one, you’re grandfathered in and can keep them all!

We went red, white and blue today. Lots of long, red and white and blue and white pieces to match the colors you’ll be seeing on the mannequins for 2011. Shannon also found some 2010 expo snap bracelet with USA on them, and we bought a handful as a souvenir. They won’t be on our website, but let us know if you want one… they’re apparently all the rage!

After our design sess, we met a friend of mine who just moved to Shanghai for a drink at a bar that advertised free drinks for ladies from 8pm to 2am. Only in China! We arrived around 9, and by 11 the band was warming up. The first song was Pink Floyd. Then, Smash Mouth…

And the crowd went wild. All the sudden the dance floor erupted, and we happened to be sitting in the prime dance locale. So, we left. Big day tomorrow. Gotta get some rest!
