Jaw Dropped. Sculptor Carl Peverall Showcases His Latest Creations at Dovecote

September 14, 2015

Dovecote backyard today…three of Carl Peverall statues from the opening on Friday!

Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.

It has arrived, and you won’t believe your eyes. Sculptor Carl Peverall has unveiled his latest statues here at Dovecote and we are absolutely blown away. Of course, we snapped some shots to share with you all. Warning: our hands are in the air. Nothing can truly capture the beauty of Carl’s work unless you see it with your own eyes.

Remember, at Dovecote we are one big family and our door is always open. Come on by, tour the grounds, relax on our porch and soak in garden that has been grown with love.

Dovecote is located at 35 Flash Point Drive ( McKinney Way) next to Cornucopia Restaurant off Hwy 107S in Cashiers, NC.

They Weep but are Never Sad: the Ryusan Japanese Maple

September 8, 2015

A photo posted by Mary Palmer Dargan (@mpdargan)

Are you a fan of the greenery surrounding these steps?

These trees are perfect for any garden size. It’s the Ryusen Japanese Maple, known for its weeping effect and versatile branches. Not into adding something that takes a lot of work? The Ryusen is low maintenance as well!

Admire the beauty beside and below Nathalie (our in-action model here). She’s taking a stroll on 4″ tall steps.

Signs of a Dovecote Intruder!? We Caught it on Camera.

September 7, 2015

A photo posted by Mary Palmer Dargan (@mpdargan)

 

It looks like someone big, really big, came onto our Dovecote property uninvited. Not that we mind! This furry guy or gal left their signature, an “I was here” sign on the ground and here’s the photo proof.

The top print is 4″ long. Raccoons were also on site. Animal party for party animals? Where was our invite? We didn’t even know we were hosting!

If you’ve got some animal paw prints, please share them with us!

Make to to follow us on Instgram for exclusive photos.
