What a great choice of music and I love the way it fades in and out, choreographed to the visuals. The Cabana Anthology is so packed with wonders that I'll look at your presentation many times.
What a beautiful home with wonderful history. The book was so beautiful also. See you by the pool, and I will bring my Pinot Noir. Happy Father's Day to Daniel.
Hi Mary! What a beautiful book review-loved the accompanying music (Vivaldi ?). This book is so full of life, color and beauty; I had never heard about Cabana magazine. Always appreciate seeing historic homes; looking forward to the second floor. You have filled the past two years with so much joy, learning, and fun! Thank you Mary for using your talents and knowledge in this way!
Happy Anniversary to you and The Tartan Topiary! You bring joy to my life and a new appreciation for decorating every time I tune in. Congratulations and continued success.
Hi Mary and Happy Father’s Day to you Daniel! Cabana was what our neighbors called their tiki style pool bar when I was a kid! So looking forward to your poolside party and 2 year anniversary! 🎉
It is Always a joy to see what surprise you have in store for us Mary!... and this week was no exception. There was lots of "eye candy"! The home tour was wonderful, and I look forward to seeing the remaining upstairs of the historic home next week. I know y'all will celebrate Daniel in style this Father's Day 2024!
I so look forward to Friday’s with our lovely friend Mary. I am a Mary as well. You don’t hear this name too often these days. The book was lovely. Thank you for taking us on a tour, I do love history and especially seeing these beautiful old homes with a story. The gardens are so pretty and I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the garden. Have a lovely weekend . Happy Fathers Day to Daniel . Two years , wonderful…. See you by the pool next week 🥂
Thank you, Mary. Daniel and I try to tour these local homes at least once a year. We are so fortunate to have them. I hope you are having a nice weekend and, as always, I really appreciate your comment. See you next Friday!
Cabana subscription has been on my bucket list for some time. Thank you for sharing this beautiful volumn with us. What a gorgeous piece of history. The house and grounds so well manicured. Happy Fathers Day to all Dads
I received my subscription just a few years ago as a birthday gift. Since Cabana is only released in April and October, it's always a thrill when one arrives in the mail.
Happy Anniversary. Looking forward to drinks by the pool. The house tour was so interesting and I especially liked the card table with the built in candle holders and to see the broach of the woman pictured.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I also loved the broach and the one surviving earring, as well as the card table. The Burgwin and Wright families were very generous to donate these items.
Thank you for the beautiful tour. I'm so proud to be a North Carolinian with our interesting history and beautiful mountains to the sea landscape. Happy Anniversary. I'm looking forward to next week. ❤
Happy Friday Mary! Thank you for the review of that gorgeous book and for taking us along the tour! I can't wait to see the gardens. By the way, beautiful white coral bracelet! ❤
Well done Mary! The tour was especially delightful with lovely music to accompany it. Your video was so respectful of the items in this historic house, especially the portraitures. Thank you for some very quieting and calm moments.
Another beautiful, interesting, and joyous video! Mary, thank you so much for the work you put into these videos to make them so perfect and enjoyable for us! :)
Dear Sweet Mary, Especially enjoyed your video as it has many memories for me. I was Christened at St. James before my family moved to Wallace. I have been there many times mostly for funerals and once when the Church dedicated "Lee Hall" which my Uncle helped to build in memory of my late Aunt Jeanne Lee. I wanted to tell your bloggers in case they did not know that you also published a wonderful book called "Wallace, N.C. Home, Sweet Home" about our home town and both my parents were mentioned in the book as you and I both grew up in Wallace. See you next week! Hughie
I love that you were Christened at St. James. I enjoy knowing your part of local history and your appreciation for it. Thanks for sharing the book about Wallace. We only have a few copies available. I'm so happy you have one.
Dear Mary and Daniel, Once again you have opened our eyes to another world. ❤ So interesting - Thank you for staying passionate about your own history- cheers from Napier NZ
Wow what an amazing book! I’m creating such a collection of books and adore every single one! Thank you for continually introducing yet another fabulous publication!
Hello Mary and Daniel! Mary, I must be cracking up......I was so happily surprised......I actually smiled and waved to Daniel as he opened the gate!!! LOL! What can I say....old age! LOL! Thank you for another interesting book review and taking us along to the Burgwin-Wright House. I could tour old homes every day of the week! I look forward to visiting with you next week and I wish a very Happy Father's Day to Dan! Hugs! :)
That's funny, Daniel will appreciate your acknowledgment of him in the video. We feel the same about these old homes. We try to get to them early in the morning, and often times we are the only ones on the tour. I could do it everyday too. Hugs in return!
Hi Mary , I agree just stunning ! Thank you for the tour of the historical home very interesting ! When we were in Savannah we did a few tours ..love Savannah ! Have you been to the Biltmore ? I have been there six times and planning a visit in 2025 ! I hope your home is back to the way you love it !!?! I will definitely be at your celebration !! Have a wonderful weekend , Paula
Thank you, Paula. One of my favorite homes is in Savannah. It's the Mercer Williams house. Yes, I have been to Biltmore. The last time we were there was during Christmas. It was a bit crowded, but still enjoyable and very beautiful. The gardens were just a fascinating as the home. The repairs to my house are complete, and now I am just working on cleaning the plaster dust from EVERYTHING. I hope you have a great week.
Another great book review. Thanks for the house tour. I love historic homes. That card table with four candles was stunning! Looking forward to next weeks video. You and Daniel are always fun. Can't believe it's been two years already!
Hi Mary. Nice tour of the home ,,,if those walls could talk. Enjoyed the book with pages full for the eyes to see. Happy Father's Day to Daniel and I shall see you both poolside next Friday. Hoping your home is back in order inside. Enjoy your weekend. xo
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. I could tour historic homes every day, if it was possible. Our house is almost back to normal. We are in the cleaning phase. The plaster dust was the worst part. I hope you are enjoying your weekend also!
Enjoyed the book, Cabana Anthology! Wow, what beautiful interiors, she is quite artistic. I thought the Burgwin home was lovely, so nice to see it restored from the 1700's. How interesting about the jail, I suppose we all have some questionable ancestors 😅 Have a lovely weekend and Happy Father's Day to Daniel! Can't wait for another mixology date around the pool!!❤
Wow! Talk about eye candy; it's almost entirely full page photos! Yeah, this one's on my must have list now. Loved the tour too. I would so love to go visit some true Colonial era homes. I've done genealogy, and ALL of my family lines came through the South, including Alabama, and some as far back as Jamestown, and the tobacco colonies in Virginia. I am kin to the Garners (including distant cousin to John Nance Garner) and one forefather who served in the Rev. war later settled in Alabama. I've dreamed of going on a genealogy research trip to the courthouses, libraries, archives, museums and cemeteries where my family came from. I did do a lot of research in Louisiana and was thrilled once when I found records from a Primitive Baptist Church (on microfilm held at the Noel Library at LSUS in Shreveport) which were recorded by my great-grandfather, who was the record keeper. Realizing I was reading his actual handwriting was actually thrilling! Thank you for this very diverting and enjoyable video and HAPPY BIRTHDAY early to the Tartan Topiary! Did you ever imagine you would create this career in film for yourself, with such total creative control? What a blessing. Life is so surprising!
Life is indeed surprising. I appreciate your passion for your genealogy. My grandmother loved doing research for that. Once that bug bites you- there is no turning back. Reading your history from your grandfather's handwritten documents is a great story. I love it!
Don’t even get me started with drinks by the pool with Daniel. This will be very interesting. The book presented was another hit as far as I’m concerned. The deep colors were a favorite. I’ve discovered deep colors look best on me And therefore my favorite color scene. Black is my favorite!! You can put anything with it and it is perfect. I’m not sure if you mentioned the price of the book but I might have missed that part. The music was so appropriate for the book and the visit to the manor. I love visiting places like that. Will be looking forward to the conclusion of this tour.
These interiors were very smart. They were interesting and stimulating. I can't remember if I mentioned the price either, but used copies are available on several websites. Due to the unique fabric used to cover the book, each cover will vary slightly (same fabric, but different cut) so don't let that confuse you.
I had neither heard of the magazine or the book,,very interesting , need to check it out . My Great,great grandfather died in a prison in North Carolina. Jason Harris ,he was a gunsmith and engraver,there are guns in the Smithsonian of his and they are very collectible if you can find one .BUT during the Civil War he made Silver Dollars,the way he got caught was he put too much silver in them 🤣 experts could not tell them from real ones from just looking at them. Maybe that’s where my love of collecting coins comes from,also my love of hand engraving,so a little about my family tree 🤣and North Carolina jails. Please tell Daniel…Happy Father’s Day 🌿🍃
Y'all look like a lot of fun!! Thank you for always showcasing good taste.. especially for a more mature and/or advanced decorating taste.
I love this. Thanks for helping me get off the fence about buying this book.
What a great choice of music and I love the way it fades in and out, choreographed to the visuals. The Cabana Anthology is so packed with wonders that I'll look at your presentation many times.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know.
What a beautiful home with wonderful history. The book was so beautiful also. See you by the pool, and I will bring my Pinot Noir. Happy Father's Day to Daniel.
Thank you, Pinot Noir with a side of sunscreen sounds like a party to me!

Thank you so much, that warms my heart!
Thank you again Mary for bringing to life all the books you show, most impressively I must say. Look forward to the next one 🥰
Thank you for such a nice comment. I appreciate that.
And now I will be sending my big grands the UA-cam of The Toy’s singing “How gentle is the rain” . Wonderful visit!
Hi Mary and Happy Father’s Day to you Daniel! Cabana was what our neighbors called their tiki style pool bar when I was a kid! So looking forward to your poolside party and 2 year anniversary! 🎉
Hello and thank you, I am in the process of editing the poolside mixology madness right now!
Thank you for the tour! We have driven by this house many times when our son was a student at UNCW.
Happy Anniversary Tartan Topiary!
Happy Father's Day!! Can't wait for anniversary video
I love calling North Carolina home!! I live in foothills of the mountains ❤❤❤
I love NC too! The foothills are a beautiful part of the state.
Thanks Mary and Daniel for this interesting tour. Great woodwork. Wonderful gardens.
A visual feast on the book is an understatement!!! Fabulous thanks Mary
It really is. Thanks for watching.
It is Always a joy to see what surprise you have in store for us Mary!... and this week was no exception. There was lots of "eye candy"!

Thank you, and the bracelet was on sale from Talbots.

Lovely book and tour!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed them both.
Gorgeous book 😊. Hope your garden is coming together .
I thought the book was beautiful also! The garden will be a slow and thoughtful process. I think I enjoy this part the best.
@@thetartantopiary yes, take your time . Certainly something you don’t just do overnight. I already know I will be jealous.
Wow! Talk about eye candy; it's almost entirely full page photos! Yeah, this one's on my must have list now. Loved the tour too. I would so love to go visit some true Colonial era homes. I've done genealogy, and ALL of my family lines came through the South, including Alabama, and some as far back as Jamestown, and the tobacco colonies in Virginia.

Can't wait for the cocktails. Should I bring my swimsuit ❓
