DCAC's Dixie Swim Club Poster

 

THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB, a Jones, Hope, & Wooten comedy, produced by the DCAC’s Brock Players is the story of five Southern women who through hilarious adventures prove that friendships last forever.  These five unforgettable Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids, and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives. These women increasingly rely on one another, through advice and raucous repartee, to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, aging) that life flings at them, including some hilarious and unexpected twists and turns.

Nordic Ware Holiday Wreath Bundt Pan

This beautiful Nordic Ware Holiday Wreath Bundt Pan was a present last Christmas.

Mr. Redford's First Christmas Snow

Oh the decisions to be made on a snowy day… attack the falling snow on the window pane or the Christmas tree? This is the first snow of the season and first Christmas for my new kitten, Robert Redford. Purposely left decorations off in the back of the tree and only decorated with nonbreakable ornaments. He has only chewed the bottom branches of the tree and loves to play under it. What fun he is having!

Indiana Pressed Glass Willow Cream and Sugar

Indiana Pressed Glass Willow (Oleander - Magnolia) leaf pattern cream and sugar from my Grandmother Miller's home. Some collectors call this pattern WOM, a combination of the three pattern names. This pattern was produced in the late 1930's and sold mainly through Montgomery Wards catalogs in the 1940's. Woolworth's sold a large line of glassware that is now considered vintage or antique.  The sugar and creamer sets were reissued by Indiana Glass in 1974 without the tray which might explain way there are so many Willow sugar and creamer sets missing the tray.

The creamer measures 2 3/4" in diameter x 3 1/4" high and  handles have decorative glass design.

The Sugar bowl measures 2 3/4" in diameter x 3" high and didn't come with a lid.
