PASS CHRISTIAN ISLES
^Friday, March 27 -10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon Chairman; Margie Butterworth Hostesses: Point Island Garden Club
1.	HOME OF PEGGY HESS, 112 Ponce de Leon Blvd. Inspired by early Creole architecture of the Cane River country of Louisiana, this New Orleans interior designer and French antique dealer built her raised center hall cottage with wide front and rear porches for enjoying the views of bayou and "natural" gardens. From its subtle stone painted entry foyer to the expansive light-filled great room with its French limestone mantle, the house abounds with her collections of 18th and 19th century furniture and paintings from France, England, and America. The combination of pickled white oak floors, natural sea grass carpeting, and glass transoms over every cased opening promotes a serene, relaxed ambience with a decidedly informal mix of fine handmade contemporary and antique pieces. Venetian Fortuni fabric-covered pillows resting against the faded cotton of a Provencal “coverture” invite you to be seated on the down filled slipcovered sofas and simply watch the light on the water outside the windows.
2.	“LIEBENWALD” GARDENS OF MR. AND MRS. MILES ROGERS, 100 Havana Blvd. Thyla Rogers, professional artist and great-grand niece of Claude Monet, has inherited Monet's love of the flower garden and garden pond. In Liebenwald, oaks with the moss laden boughs provide filtered light for azaleas, camellias, birdbaths, and fish ponds and form a backdrop for a trellised and bowered rose garden. Benches line the walks and gazebo swing houses overlook the rose garden and swimming pool. The German style garden gates are decorated with hand painted roses and the wall behind the swimming pool painted with renderings of many garden flowers birds, and butterflies. Two marble statues - a Rabboni statue created by J.B. Stewart of Rome in 1806, is a life size of Mary Magdalene in the garden, the other statue, “Primavera,” created in 1861 by A. Bottinelli of Rome, is a life-size bust of a young woman with a garland of roses around her, sitting on a triple marble base, also decorated with garlands of flowers. Refreshments will be served.
