Sweetgrass Baskets

Sometimes you have to be sneaky to get pictures of the Sweetgrass Baskets.  I have been yelled at more than once.  This guy wasn't watching so I quickly snapped it.  These baskets are hand made by the locals who have passed the art down from one generation to the next.  They are exquisite and very expensive.

Charleston's Candy Kitchen

Charleston's Candy Kitchen is across the street from the city market and if you are like most people, it is a must on your visit to Charleston.  They offer free samples of the best Pralines ever.  Sometimes there is even someone standing on the steps with samples trying to lure you in - if the offer of public restrooms doesn't do it.  Also notice the black iron anchors on the side of the building - so "Port City".  And the shiny brass letter "A" near the entrance.  You will see brass street numbers on many of the old homes.  You can see a collection of them HERE. This really is a great Charleston building and you can see some of the detail better if you click on the picture.

Have a good day!
