Tides of Tradition
Let's explore an effortless style of Lowcountry living with secrets behind the kitchen door.

Why do months and years go faster with age? I never made goals or resolutions for 2025, just a simple intention to linger longer in conversations with family and friends, both old and new - a little longer. Friends are priceless, and I don’t want to miss or take for granted a single one.
In that spirit, Tides of Tradition goes behind the kitchen door to find endearing ideas for Easter that go beyond the basket. Creative presentations of decorative ideas are fun ways to enhance an alfresco lunch or brunch with those you love.
Founding members and paid subscribers receive this section of the newsletter on life through the lens of cooking, decorating, and baking. This newsletter has evolved into a group of passionate food enthusiasts with a drive to dive deep into the culture of the SC Lowcountry. I love learning with you.
It’s one way I can give you a heartfelt “thank you” for your love and support.
Cheers, here’s to friends both old and new.
Decorating for Easter is a time we can get creative. This lovely Citrus and Mint Ice Block is fun and easy to make, and an interesting conversation piece around the table.
