Southern Lady November/December 2023

From Thanksgiving feasts to joyous Christmas fêtes, this issue heralds the merriest months in spectacular fashion. Festive décor takes shape as lavish garlands, dashing tablescapes, and miniature Christmas trees trimmed in citrus, tinsel, and vintage treasures. Step inside the Alabama abode featured on our cover, dressed to the nines with sterling keepsakes and fresh flowers. We venture to Louisiana’s Baton Rouge for a taste of the capital city’s illustrious past and modern-day joie de vivre. As you gather with loved ones, take cues from our hearty menu starring a turkey roasted to golden perfection as well as a cozy breakfast served porch side. Find ideas for pretty packaging and special gifts—whether transformed heirloom jewelry or handmade ornaments with a heartwarming story. In fond remembrance, we shine a light on the legacy of our founder, Phyllis Hoffman DePiano, whose gracious spirit will continue to inspire Southern Lady for years to come. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday!
