ABOUT THE Cover BY ANGEL HOLMES the admiral’s club $249/year Give the gift of comfort this holiday season There’s Comfort in Being Anchored 843-564-7777 anchorheatingandair.com Photographed by Mark Staff, the Winter 2025 cover celebrates the art of seasonal entertaining at the Charleston home of Lois MacRitchie, owner of The Boutique Charleston. MacRitchie purchased the beloved King Street shop in 2014, becoming the sixth owner in its 70-year history. Styled to evoke the warmth of a fireside gathering, the tablescape highlights rich blues and golds that eschew traditional holiday colors in favor of winter’s cool elegance. With The Boutique Charleston’s touch, the design seamlessly combines heirloom treasures and natural details to complete the winter scene. The table features Arte Italica's handmade dinnerware from Italy, grounded by a custom runner from The Flower Hunter, Lucy Hunter's new line of hand-painted wallpapers and fabrics created in Charleston. Luminous glassware and sculptural candlesticks from Juliska add sparkle and depth, while vintage napkin rings courtesy of Croghan's Jewel Box complete the look. Florals by Out of the Garden, part of Out of Hand Boutique, add natural beauty to this celebration of gathering and Charleston's enduring design legacy. Photo by Mark Staff
