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!

Window to the Past

Magnolia Plantation with the traditional black shutters - looking inside.............

Blue Shutters

Usually the shutters that you find in Charleston are black so these blue really stand out and are quite refreshing!

White Grillwork

Grillwork is usually - almost always - black. So this white grillwork grabbed my attention. Right or wrong, I love it! What a beautifully intricate design!

More Black Shutters

And green walls,

And made to look old walls,

And really old brick walls.

Window Perfection

I think this is the nicest window in all of downtown Charleston!  I love everything about it - even the peeling paint - but mostly the leaded glass with the boat behind it!  Love it!
