Looking to spruce up your backyard?

Look no further: Donna of Bain’s Outdoor Living has your how-to over on The Scout Guide’s blog! ☀️

Donna suggests, “When it comes to adding character to your outdoor living space, pergola designs are one of the best options. Not only do they combine beauty and function, but they also offer a great deal of flexibility in size, style and location.”

Start your project by creating a defined space, and remember: placement is key! Will it be by your patio, or could the garden use some sprucing up? How about a poolside pergola? And don’t forget the simple care! Wouldn’t want all that hard work to go to waste– plus, you’ll enjoy it year-after-year...after year!

Head to The Scout Guide’s full post for all the details, and be sure to send us your Summery shots lounging underneath your perfect pergola!

Treat Yourself to Numa Spa

With medical news filling our social media feeds, we understand the importance of taking care of our insides. Eat well. Exercise often. Visit the doctor and dentist regularly for check-ups.

But what about our outsides? Our skin, as you likely already know, is in fact our largest organ, and it needs to be cared for. Not to mention, when we take care of our skin, and focus a little on ourselves, we age a little slower and feel better day to day!

Might we suggest our friends at Numa Spa in Newport News, Virginia.

A Scouted Event in Fort Worth:  Galentine’s

We are so fortunate to live in Fort Worth, Texas, a city filled with many talented and creative business owners, makers, experts and unique finds. And when it comes to hosting or attending ANY event - we have scouted resources to accommodate every detail with the utmost quality!  

The upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday inspired a “boss ladies” lunch among a group of #scouted members (#SCOUTEDevent) to share ideas, stories, celebrate one another, and enjoy a little pampering and delicious food!  

We are so thrilled to highlight fourteen #scouted local businesses from a day filled with inspiration and a positive spirit!  

It all started with Taylor Bradford, of Sugarcreek Event Rentals, who imagined a glam/luxe tabletop design with some modern edges, utilizing a farm table that she custom made by hand. She incorporated purple linens, a combination of blush and crystal glassware, and gold geometric chargers (versus an expected red and pink motif).  

Dark corals, dusty rose, lilac, and creams were brought in with florals to complete the vintage feel. The table was flanked with cross back chairs and a bar cart was utilized for extra spirits!  

The event was held at the beautiful home of the most gracious hosts, Jenny and Jon Castor. The house was built without sparing any details, by Jon Castor of Castor Vintage Homes.  

Calli Galati and Rachel Hausser of Wabash Road designed and printed a beautiful invitation for the luncheon that set the tone for a fun and festive event.  Also, they prepared elegant corresponding menus and placecards for each guest to complete the print suite (placecard calligraphy by Sara Roush of Scripts by Sara).  

Katy Lee, of Floralee, designed custom floral centerpieces for the event. Loose, organic, low profile arrangements of blush and peach ranunculus, eucalyptus, ruscus, stock, Earl Grey roses, and lavender helleborous filled the gold vessels to compliment the table design.

To start the day, all guests were treated to a little pampering!  Two stylists from LUX Machine offered hair styling. From a little curling, to braids, to pulling the sides back - they can do anything to complete a natural/casual look - perfect for a ladies lunch!  

Professional make-up artist, Ashley McNabb of Ashley McNabb Artistry, applied makeup for everyone! She used colors that complimented skin tones and enhanced natural beauty. Lashes were added for an extra special touch!

Jenny Castor, of Luckybee Kitchen, baked the most exquisite, fragrant, and downright yummy, heart-shaped artisan breads with homemade compound butters in three savory flavors.

Claudia Sheddy, of My Sweet Roots, created an elegant, bright, and delicious Shrimp and Avocado salad served on Bibb lettuce and extra lemon, fused with a homemade mayonnaise (which is Whole 30 approved).  

Following lunch, Claudia (of My Sweet Roots) served up the most beautiful Pavlova dessert, covered in the most fresh and brilliant berries. It was absolutely heavenly!

The Arrival  of Sophiella Gallery Creates Excitement in Downtown Mobile

Downtown Mobile’s renaissance is in full swing, proof of this comes with the arrival of Sophiella Gallery. The gallery’s October 3rd Grand Opening party was an event to be remembered! Housed in a beautifully renovated 1860s building on lower Dauphin Street, Sophiella was abuzz with excitement for this great addition to the downtown scene. 

Ardith Goodwin and Randy Moberg were among the local artists on hand for the festivities. As of the opening, the gallery represents ten of Mobile’s most widely collected painters, and plans to add sculpture and ceramics in the weeks ahead.

Bay Gourmet catered the soiree, helping showcase the gallery as a venue for parties and receptions.

Owner Kim Kelly explained, “Our gallery space on the first floor is perfect for an elegant cocktail party, while our second floor conference space could be just right for a meeting or even a seated dinner. We’re excited that we already have events on the books!”

Kim and husband Clark also hope the evening signaled the city’s receptiveness to their offering of strong work from some of the area’s best local artists. Besides filling a need as an elegant venue for public enjoyment of meaningful artwork, the gallery is a resource for design professionals, and works with the trade.

Three pieces by Scouted artist Ardith Goodwin at Sophiella.

The excitement continued, as the Friday following the grand opening brought in a host of LoDa ArtWalk visitors, including Mobile Mayor, Sandy Stimpson. The mayor was most enthusiastic about the addition of this great space to Mobile’s art scene, and wished Kim great success!

We have enjoyed scouting this incredible art gallery and event space and getting to know it’s devoted owners. Check it out for yourself at sophiellagallery.com where you can browse their featured artists, read about event rental details and rates and learn more about their art leasing program.
