colleague and friend Peter Schaudt and partner Douglas Hoerr. The garden designed by Abie Baldwin features breathtaking lake views across the infinity pool. The color of the pool replicates Lake Michigan. Kelly Golden of Neapolitan Collection shares her incredible sense of style as she showcases the fashion trends for spring. Tamberlyn Dobrowski presents refreshing and crisp citrus salads, an appropriate way to usher in spring! And we have included another spring delight: Peachy’s favorite grapefruit and avocado salad recipe. I was blessed to be able to speak to The Southern Alliance about Peachy the Magazine. This group gathers once a month for lunch at a member’s home. The only requirement is that you hail from a Southern State. Incredibly, the group’s philanthropic endeavor benefits the Crossnore School, which serves children in need who are living in North Carolina. Laura Thompson expands on this connection in her Inspire Column. I was introduced to Winifred Gundeck, a jewelry designer whose work I fell in love with. Pulling from the clean lines of modernism and principles of form and function, she designs pieces that are inspired by vintage masters such as Cartier and Alexander Calder. Winifred says: “To me, nothing is more fascinating than a beautifully hand-crafted piece of hardware.” She makes this the focal point of her designs, which honor the integrity of its function, such as a clasp being the focal point of a bangle. All pieces are designed in her Chicago studio and then are produced in a small workshop outside of Cuernavaca, Mexico. The workshop teaches local women how to make jewelry, which in turn allows them to earn an income for the first time. Their work ethic and attention to detail is impeccable. These are just a few of the many wonderful offerings we at Peachy have to share in this month’s issue. So, grab a cup of tea or coffee and sit back and enjoy. From here, we travel to Charlotte in April and Charleston in June. We have many surprises for the upcoming issues and throughout the month, we will be giving sneak peek
