I think you so much Mary for sharing your time and your love and your passion for such beauty and interest in this world. You’re truly a inspiration thank you so much and love you.

Another great Friday night with Mary 🎉 I so enjoyed the history of this beautiful property .Thank you Mary and Daniel for taking us along ❤️

[@joanoneill381]

Thank you for introducing us to these beautiful homes.

[@rosehill1595]

Thanks for taking us along on your excursion. A dreamy sight to see, enchanting trees full of Spanish moss, the epitome of grace and beauty.

[@emilypoulsen8072]

Thank you for the tour of such a gorgeous place and account of a truly remarkable woman. It really touched me, particularly her love of animals.❤

[@thetartantopiary]

I cried when the docent of the property told us the story of Belle's horse. Nothing tugs at my heartstrings like animals and children!

[@emilypoulsen8072]

@thetartantopiary Absolutely. Actually I did cry as well! This was a really lovely video.

[@maryfisher1965]

Thank you for another wonderful video. I look forward to your weekly uploads. I hope that the Foundation at Hobcaw can raise the funds to restore Belle’s house. It would be a shame to lose such an historic home.

[@1956cec]

Thank you again for a wonderful book review & tour. Always look forward to your videos!

Hi Mary. Loved the historical tour and we all know how sad it is to lose that special pet. Loved the history story of the beautiful grounds of Hobcaw and it was beautiful and serene. The book review was good and so colorful...I enjoyed. I missed your comment last week as you have spoiled us all. Thank you till next week.

[@thetartantopiary]

Hello sweet friend, that was my fault. I passed your comment several times last week and each time I began a reply it was interrupted. I always appreciate the time and thought it takes for viewers to leave a comment, and you are always so thoughtful to do this. I'm going back to that video now and respond. You've got to keep me on my toes! 😄❤️ xoxo- Mary

[@MourieAnnFeeney]

@@thetartantopiary Thank you Mary and you too have become such a dear, sweet friend. You do a great job on comments but we are all spoiled and I know that takes a lot of your time to answer. xo🤎💕

[@maryannaunedi1790]

Mary, I always watch your videos. I love beautiful books, interiors and places. Please keep showing more beautiful books and places. I await your next video. Bye MaryAnn 🇨🇦

Great thanks Mary another Friday night enjoying book , you and glass of wine .

[@Rosa_All]

Thank you for your work. Besides viewing the videos, every night your asmr-worthy voice says Hi, I'm Mary...and I relax into sleep. 😊

[@thetartantopiary]

Thank you, that is really kind. As for my "asmr-worthy voice", I must have developed that from my days of reading bedtime stories to my children

What a beautiful historic tour you took us along! ❤ I have added it to my list of places to visit. Plus I really enjoyed the Veranda book review! Thank you Mary! Have a wonderful weekend.

[@lindaortolano7837]

Hello Mary, Thank you for yet another great review. I must say l do love color in a room when it is tastefully done. However, WOW.....I loved this tour of Hobcaw Barony preserve! I could move into this beautiful brick home and live on these beautiful surroundings in a heartbeat! I have to say this is one of the prettiest preserves I have seen yet! Thank you for taking us along....it was so interesting. I hope these homes and surroundings can be maintained and preserved forever! Have a great week and I will see you in the next one. Hugs! :) PS: I would have loved to have seen the inside of these homes!)

[@Loupadron2010]

Once again thank you so much Mrs. Mary for sharing this American icon property and it's heir that loving heir to this grand estate.

I am deeply humble to know you and Daniel and all of this marvel of the wonderful world of interior design, art, history, and other cultural endeavors. A happy 2025 and bless you always.

[@valfletcher9285]

How lovely! I favor "pretty" and will always hope to err on the side of pretty over "powerful" "minimalist" "well textured" "strong lines" etc... ;) This video is one of the BEST!!!

[@victoriasicilian4573]

Thank you for this interesting and informative tour!

[@marilynrhoads5555]

Lovely tour. Thank you!

Oh my...........thank you so much for the introduction to Hobcaw Barony. I just love your channel, Mary. Thank you!

[@thetartantopiary]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@psin0373]

Hi Mary! A disclaimer warning the viewer to have a drool bucket close by should be added to the introduction of this post...my goodness, what a treat: the book and the visit to Hobcaw. Both delightful with a capital D.

[@thetartantopiary]

That's funny, I love the disclaimer idea. This book is definitely filled with beauty.

[@joannlessner1551]

Thank you, Belle.

[@thetartantopiary]

Yes, here's to Belle!

[@pcrice-lr2dn]

Loved the book,I believe they used the big box of crayons 🖍️❤️ if I only had 13,000 sq ft . The plantation is spectacular,I can’t believe I did not know it was there. We used to go to Georgetown for one reason…..there was a small restaurant that had the BEST shrimp and corn chowder……ever.I will definitely watch this again and read about Belle Thank you… Hope you have a wonderful Super Bowl weekend 🌿🌱 🏈

[@thetartantopiary]

Always use the big box! 😄

And I thought I had all the books by veranda Magazine. Veranda, as represented in this book, always reflects the kind of space that I want to live in: lots of colors, layers, textiles , art, old and new things, and textures all combined in exuberance.

[@thetartantopiary]

Definitely lots to love in this book. You might also enjoy this book also. Michelle Nussbaumer is a designer that wields color like a genius. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3qTp6RqpLqGqc0

[@alisadotson8403]

@@thetartantopiary I have that book! My style is pretty consistent in that I love an eclectic look.

[@s.barlow7062]

Mary, I love watching your videos. I was wondering if you know of a book that talks about lighting? I’ve noticed many combinations of light sources on a mantel or sideboards, including sconces, multiple candle sticks, etc.

[@victoriasicilian4573]

I live in Horry County SC. the next county north of Georgetown. Looking at Georgetown Real Estate listings, they are usually modest. This is a big surprise to me. I have heard of Bernard Baruch but never associated him with anything but major Northeast Cities and politics.

[@thetartantopiary]

@@victoriasicilian4573 I appreciated that Mr. Baruch was a native South Carolinian. He was born in Camden.

[@l.taylor589]

The original inhabitants of Hobcaw Barony, SC were Native Americans from the Waccamaw tribe. Europeans TOOK the land from them and enslaved Africans who worked the land.

[@thetartantopiary]

Yes, that's true. Several years ago, while excavating a small parcel of the property, they found some beautiful pottery and arrowheads. If you are interested in the Waccamaw tribe you might enjoy this book. "Native Carolinians; The Indians of North Carolina" by Theda Perdue and Christopher Oakley

[@AnitaMatteini]

Place..sorry

[@thetartantopiary]

I figured as much. We'll visit lace in a future video! 😄
