Scottish Walk Homes Tour, 2015

Pen-and-Inks from the 2015 TWIG house Tour

Here are three more wonderful homes from this year's TWIG house tour, a fundraiser for the INOVA Alexandria Hospital. TWIG is the junior auxiliary of the hospital. Their main fundraising arm is their upscale thrift shop located on North Columbus Street in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. 

Alexandria Scottish Walk Homes Tour

Dear Imaginary Friends,

I had the privilege of touring five historic homes recently on a chilly rainy day. And it was well beyond worth it! I was inspired and impressed by the room decor and the accessories. 

The homes tour benefits the work of the Campagna Center, whose mission is helping disadvantaged women and children. All five homes were lovely and impressive. These pictures are a pastiche of various homes. 

Belle Haven Homes Tour

Every other year, Belle Haven Women's Club sponsors a tour of neighborhood homes, and this year proved to be stunning. See above flower arrangement in a chambered nautilus. This was created by the very talented Mary Ann Conant. The home was the guest house/pool house modeled after homes in Mustique, the fabulous Caribbean island populated by the very wealthy and the very famous. (Think Mick Jagger) The home was part beach house and one hundred percent divine, and reflects the owners' many happy memories from their many vacations there.

Of course, this was only one tiny part of the tour.

Kudos to the BH Women's Club and to Ms Conant.

Your homes tour junkie,

Patsie
